Support our work: On his 90th birthday, the legendary consumer advocate, corporate critic and four-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader joins _Democracy Now!_ for an in-depth conversation about U.S. democracy and why “Congress is a weapon of mass destruction.“ He says lawmakers have shredded the country's social safety net, refused to rein in the U.S. war machine, allowed white-collar crime to go unpunished, failed to enforce tax fairness and more. “All of these are very unpopular with the American people,“ Nader says. He also discusses the 2024 presidential race and encourages people to “vote their conscience“ and “find some way out of this two-party duopoly gulag.” Nader, who publishes the monthly print-only newspaper the Capitol Hill Citizen, was recently profiled in The Washington Post for his ongoing advocacy. Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday. Watch our livestream at Mondays to Fridays 8-9 a.m. ET.
