The video of his impassioned speech went viral and was praised by other media sources. TV Newser wrote that it was "a powerful, emotional editorial on the economy and Washington". On a follow-up post on his website the day after he wrote that he had received a lot of positive mail from viewers, writing "I’m mad as hell. And according to the piles and piles of responses I got after my rant, so are you."

Since 2019, he has been appearing regularly with Jimmy Dore on "The Jimmy Dore Show".

Ratigan was a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for New York's 21st congressional district , running in the 2018 elections in which he lost to Tedra Cobb.

In February 2018, Ratigan announced that he is running for Congress, seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican incumbent Elise Stefanik in New York's 21st congressional district . Ratigan said that he has never voted in an election, claiming a "disgust" with "two choices that are available to" him.

On June 26th 2018 Ratigan lost the NY 21st District Democratic Primary to Tedra Cobb. However, he won a write-in campaign for the Women’s Equality nomination in the same district - by getting two votes while two rival write-in candidates got one vote each. The chair of the Women’s Equality Party, Susan Zimet, announced efforts to stop Ratigan from running, as "we don’t want our line to be a spoiler".

"We've got a real problem! This is a mathematical fact! Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America. Democrats aren't doing it, Republicans aren't doing it. An entire integrated system, financial system, trading system, taxing system, that was created by both parties over a period of two decades is at work on our entire country right now. And we're sitting here arguing about whether we should do the $4 trillion plan that kicks the can down the road for the president for 2017, or burn the place to the ground, both of which are reckless, irresponsible, and stupid."

Ratigan joined The Young Turks on March 24, 2017 as a news commentator.

In Ratigan's final CNBC broadcast from the floor of the NYSE he reported on what he called "an important story developing" that Goldman Sachs and "a variety of European banks," in his assessment and that of his guests, essentially "perpetrated securities fraud" and an "insurance fraud scam" against AIG — and, by extension, the government and taxpayers funding that insurance company's "bailout" — by insuring their questionable investment vehicles and, upon their devaluation, making claims on them to be paid by AIG "at 100 cents on the dollar" despite all of the markdowns "being forced upon every other" entity including the government, banks, shareholders, bond holders, taxpayers and homeowners.

On May 21, 2013, he appeared on The Daily Show and discussed his association with a high tech hydroponic farming project employing military veterans. He appeared on Charlie Rose on May 23, 2013 to discuss his work with military veterans.

On January 9, 2012, he appeared as a guest on The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, discussing the premise of his book, Greedy Bastards, viz. the swindling and robbing of America by "government corruption and corporate communism, incensed by banksters shaking down taxpayers, and despairing of an ailing health care system, an age-old dependency on foreign oil, and a failing educational system".

The final episode of The Dylan Ratigan Show was on June 22, 2012.

On the August 10, 2011, broadcast of The Dylan Ratigan Show, in a round table discussion of the market meltdown following the Budget Control Act of 2011, Ratigan made a two-minute-long speech against what he perceived to be the state of politics in the United States government, saying:

Since then, he has dedicated his work to launching platforms that engage and debate the U.S. government on policy, while opening the door for millions to learn more about money’s often poisonous role in democracy. The New York Times reported he was considering all options but quoted him as saying he was dedicated to covering the economy, "the story that is affecting every American in every setting."
