Fatalities from Israel’s Vast Gaza Genocide Deliberately Undercounted
By Ralph Nader June 19, 2026 The mainstream media has no problem guesstimating the deaths (500,000) from the Assad Dictatorship’s Civil War in Syria, nor the estimated deaths in the wars in Ukraine, Sudan, or Iran. Somehow, media editors do not let their investigative reporters assess the extent of Israel’s mass murder of civilians in…

Why is the Democratic Party Leadership Opposing the Vital, Direct and Collateral Benefits of an Impeachment Drive?
By Ralph Nader June 12, 2026 In my past two columns, I made the case for the Democratic Party to take the lead in pushing for Trump’s Impeachment. The majority of people favor firing Trump and the massive number of blatant, impeachable acts by the lawless, corrupt, violent, unstable, dangerous Tyrant Trump increases by the…
An Impeachment Drive Can Lead to Trump’s Resignation
By Ralph Nader June 5, 2026 Public support for the Impeachment of Donald J. Trump is growing by the day. A March 9, 2026 Task Force report by the New York City Bar – dominated by powerful corporate lawyers – was titled “The Crisis Deepens: Congress Must Act Now to Address Escalating Abuses of Executive…
Tyrant Trump’s Thunderous Corruption, Cruelty, and Lawbreaking
By Ralph Nader May 29, 2026 Give Dangerous Donald credit. Coming off the floor of his 2020 defeat, under several federal and state indictments, a convicted felon, accused by over sixty women of sexual abuse or worse, his endorsed candidates having lost in the 2022 elections, the Trump business brand wilting along with his polls,…
Nicholas Kristof’s Eyewitness Laments Skip the Obvious Conclusion
By Ralph Nader May 22, 2026 A skeptical friend reading the New York Times asked me why columnist Nicholas Kristof keeps writing columns about recurring poverty in less developed countries. My answer is simple. Because he keeps going to these remote areas populated by brutalized human beings living in dire impoverishment and sickness. At no…
Somersaulting Voters: Stopping Rabid Gerrymandering
By Ralph Nader May 15, 2026 “Gerrymandering” is the historic term for politicians picking their voters by manipulating Congressional and state electoral districts. Redistricting usually happens every ten years. It is fair to say that most voters don’t want politicians rigging the system to help one party win elections. Both the Republican and Democratic parties…

Open Letter to Democrats in Congress – May 12, 2026
RE: IMPEACH PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP NOW OUT OF SELF-INTEREST The myopic, anemic, feckless orthodoxy among “leadership” Democrats in Congress mulishly resists seeking to impeach President Donald Trump for a counterrevolution against July 4, 1776. Trump has crowned himself with infinite, extraconstitutional powers restrained only by his imaginary moral conscience that daily finds expression in industrial…
Open Letter to Congress on Trump and the 25th Amendment— May 11, 2026
We strongly urge legislation pursuant to section 4 of the 25th Amendment to depute Congress in lieu of the Vice President and principal officers of the executive departments with the power to determine whether the President is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” As regards President Donald Trump, the attached letter…
Newsworthy, Yes, They Say, Yet Denied Coverage
By Ralph Nader May 8, 2026 Editors of newspapers like to say that they cover the newsworthy events “without fear or favor.” Sure. But how can they cover events without the requisite curiosity, without deeply feeling for the public’s right to know, and without breaking through their “comfort zone”? Maybe you can help explain the…
Medical Experts Call For President Donald Trump’s Immediate Removal from Office
On April 30, 2026 a group of 36 leading mental health experts issued a statement calling for the immediate removal of President Trump from office, citing his mental instability and calling him “increasingly a danger to the public.” Their statement was entered into the Congressional Record by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed of Rhode…
Alert – Civic Indicators Needed
By Ralph Nader May 1, 2026 What are the indicators of a presumed democracy either faltering or fortifying itself against the buffeting or destructive forces of dictatorial autocracy, plutocracy, and oligarchy? Certainly, the commercial or corporate economy has developed thousands of indicators to ascertain whether the overall economy or its many subeconomies are getting better…
Trump Destroys the Careers of Millions of Americans Helping People
By Ralph Nader April 24, 2026 On my radio show/podcast—the Ralph Nader Radio Hour—interviews of knowledgeable people have detailed the ravages by the cruel, serial law violator, Tyrant Trump, inflicted on millions of Americans. Still, the report from the V-Dem Institute at Sweden’s University of Gothenburg produced a jolting Common Dreams headline: Trump is Dismantling…
