Consumer protection groups, why don’t you toot your own horns for once? More than any recent election, the issues on the table this year were consumer issues—landlord/tenant, childcare, mass transit, healthcare, utility costs—especially electricity, rising food prices and so on.

16 of them have government contracts.
14 are facing federal enforcement actions.
Coincidence? We doubt it.

You are destroying the Constitution by dismantling the separation of powers in favor of limitless presidential authority indistinguishable from monarchy or Der Fuhrer.

Would you have acted as Mr. Trump has as president of the United States? Can you accept behavior that you would not tolerate if you occupied the White House? asks @nader.org.
