The official Bluesky page of consumer advocate, author and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader. (Posts by Ralph signed with -R)

Ralph Nader is an American lawyer and political activist involved in consumer protection, environmentalism, and government reform causes. He is a perennial presidential candidate. His 1965 book Unsafe at Any Speed, which criticized the automotive industry for its safety record, helped lead to the passage of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act in 1966. .. more

Dictators like Trump are what prompted the Founding Fathers to give the Congress the exclusive right to fire a sitting president. The polls already show a majority of Americans want this to be done. They sense that Trump and his Trumpsters are only going to get worse, much worse. -R

Hijacking Venezuelan oil tankers is also an act of war. Trump also has declared that he wants to seize Venezuela’s oil fields. When will the Democrats in the House minority hold public shadow hearings educating the people about the most impeachable, by far, American president?

Trump has initiated a war against Venezuela without being authorized by Congress. More members of the Congressional GOP are appalled at his illegal use of the U.S. Navy committing homicide on the high seas and unleashing the CIA and its first reported sabotage on Venezuelan land.

That shows how tax avoidance and tax evasion have eroded the corporate tax base for our economy. Save, preserve, and extend the nuclear arms control treaties whose absence threatens the world, Mr. Buffett. Our country needs you. Thank you. -R

Also, in his latest annual report—all of which would make an instructive book— he reported an astounding fact: his company, Berkshire Hathaway, paid 5% of all corporate income taxes in the United States.

He can also speak out on one of his favorite themes, which is that the super-rich, like himself, are under-taxed.

Existing nuclear arms treaties with Russia are either being suspended or ignored, or, in the case of the START treaty, ending next year. Mr. Buffett can play an influential role using his past experience and his passion for world peace.

After over 60 years of historically successful investment, Warren Buffett will pass the baton to his successor on January 1. Now that he has more free time, he can re-enter his longtime cause, which is non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Who knows what else an investigation will discover? -R

Suggestion for Reporters—
What has happened to the foreign service and the State Dept. under Rubio and Trump? Prior presidents have often sidelined it—but what are Rubio and Trump doing to further nullify its contributions? How many have left or been fired? How many ambassadorships are still open?

This is an SOS to break through the voicemail barrier that is all too frequent during working hours at numerous Congressional offices. A disgrace. An insult to the American people who sent them there. -R

Can anybody help get Senator Markey to return my call? I have known him since 1977 when he was first elected and have important suggestions to make to him today.

They are asked to leave their message and contact on voicemail by a recorded voice of Senator Markey. This is another barrier between the people and their elected representatives.

Senator Ed Markey (@markey.senate.gov)
—up for re-election next year in Massachusetts—has voicemail during working hours at his office in Washington DC. Callers can not get through to a human being on Senator Markey’s staff, even after repeated attempts.

Stick with traditional Medicare! -R

Seniors: The Medicare enrollment period ends 12/7. Do not be deceived by deceptive TV, print and telephone promotions to get you into Medicare DisAdvantage. It will more often fail you when you really need it. UnitedHealth, Aetna, Humana, Cigna are out for bigger profits.

Republican support is cracking in the Congress and you can be sure Trump will do more outrageous, illegal and violent actions to get the Republicans choosing survival in the 2026 elections to continue to surrender to his dictatorial demands. -R

He should be fired for endangering, weakening and pushing our country down instead of leading the world. He needs to be impeached in the House and removed in the Senate,—a prospect no longer impossible.
