By Ralph Nader October 9, 2026 Ever wonder why, more often than not, progressive candidates for public office lose to the most venal, corrupt, right-wing politicians? It is not just that progressives don’t have enough money. Too often, they run cookie-cutter campaigns—tediously monotone, without exciting and compelling activities. They also fail to draw a vivid…

By Ralph Nader October 2, 2026 It is hard to read Trump’s mind — what with his chronic lies, delusions, and fake promises. His incentives to finish his term are numerous — pomp and ceremony, daily vengeance, judicial immunity, Democratic leaders, for now, opposing impeachment (see Open Letter to Representative Hakeem Jeffries, August 31, 2026),…

By Ralph Nader September 4, 2026 What must Tyrant Trump be thinking about his opponents’ feeble, weak, cowardly responses to his daily torrent of serious, impeachable offenses?
