I left a 15 year career in financial journalism amid the crisis of 2008. I did this to join the traditional cable news ranks with a clear goal of revealing the ruthless truth about our biggest problems and telling the inspiring stories of those who are resolving them despite all...

I'd like to thank President Ainlay and Mrs. Judith Gardner Ainlay for hosting me and for their gracious hospitality. I'd also like to thank Mr. Mark Walsh,...

As our nation starts to draw down the wars overseas, over a million vets will be re-entering civilian life over the next five years -- one of the largest in our country's recent history.

This Memorial Day weekend, we are focusing on the next mission facing our war...

Tune in to The Dylan Ratigan Show on MSNBC at 4 p.m. ET for an exclusive look at the transcripts of meetings of top Fed officials during the financial crisis from 2007-2010.

As I told you on Friday, the Huffington Post and The Dylan Ratigan Show got some significant internal...

Last week, I went on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and I brought a prop -- a weird-shaped lightbulb from Firefly LED Lighting, an Austin-based green tech company. The lightbulb, by taking an approach that dissipates heat through metal sidings instead of concentrating it in the bulb...

This week officials from the Obama administration, the banking regulators, and state Attorney Generals announced a settlement of claims stemming from the financial crisis. The nominal amount put forward as the cost of the settlement is $26 billion, and in return the banks will be released from civil claims on...

Imagine a product so irresistible that most Americans thought they couldn't live without it.  Every President talked of its importance, and it was perceived of as the key to you or your child's future.  There was a limited...

Auction 2012 is a week long series in partnership with The Huffington Post and United Republic.  

Did you know that China controls our food supply? It sounds crazy, but it's true. The food preservative "ascorbic acid", which is used to preserve nearly all the food that is on store...

The point of seeing a doctor -- or being one -- should be to improve health.  After all, besides your mother or...

This week, I'm pleased to bring you an important discussion about what we should be talking about this election season. Corruption. The Huffington Post, the Dylan Ratigan Show, and United Republic will be holding a weeklong series on the costs of our bought government. We'll look...

Finally, a presidential candidate came out and honestly addressed the biggest problem in our economy, the enormous debt overhang in our mortgage market. A few days ago, Mitt Romney was at a forum in Florida talking about foreclosures, and his comments were actually refreshingly honest about our housing and banking...

This week, I'm launching the 30 Million Jobs tour. We're taking the Dylan Ratigan Show on the road, and going all over the country to demonstrate that we are a nation flush with potential. We'll visit what I call "cradles of innovation" all over the place -- in education, health...

As we celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr, it appears we are a far less prejudiced country than we once were. Individual expressions of racism are less tolerated than ever, we have an African-American President, and African-Americans are increasingly being accepted into executive suites. Yet when...

Tomorrow night, we'll see returns from the New Hampshire primary, the second contest in the Republican Presidential nomination. Most people think of this as an election, where voters go to the polls and select their preferred candidate. But I believe, and an increasing number of viewers believe, that our political...

If you haven't noticed, your fellow Americans are somewhat pissed about our political situation. No, I take it back -- they're mad as hell. Back in August, I was mad as hell too. I watched in disgust as Washington's debt ceiling debacle grew from a tremor into an earthquake --...

Last week, I was talking to my friend, Landon Rowland. Landon is the kind of guy who knows what is going on in the business world. He's highly respected as a national leader in the industrial space, having run a major railroad. But he's also Chairman Emeritus of Janus Capital,...

Washington, D.C. just got done with a silly drama organized around cutting $1.2 trillion from the Federal budget. Republicans and Democrats argued about whether to "go big" or "go bigger," with numbers thrown around in the trillions. Ultimately the super committee collapsed of its own weight. This is...

This Thanksgiving, with national division everywhere, I'm going to be thinking about the bad guys, villains and adversaries, battles and conflict. I'm going to be thinking about my own dark side, and the suffering it can create when unacknowledged and unchecked. This is actually quite in keeping with the original...
