Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

This week we saw former El Paso area Congressman and current presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke deliver an impassioned and deeply honest speech about Donald Trump’s racism, the white supremacist shooting in his city, and how the media has been dishonestly giving Trump cover by allowing Trump to pretend that he’s suddenly opposed to racism.

Various Democratic politicians have been voicing support for Beto O’Rourke’s bold stand, as it’s never easy for a politician to call out the media like that, particularly while running for president. It turns out one of Beto’s opponents decided to give him and his campaign staffers a boost in a more tangible way.

Aleigha Cavalier, the National Press Secretary for the Beto O’Rourke 2020 campaign, posted this tweet: “Folks have been so kind these last few days— a good reminder of the larger fight we are up against and how we can all come together in such dark moments. Thank you to team
Kamala Harris for being so thoughtful and sending lunch to Beto HQ in El Paso.” She included a photo of the food delivery that had been sent over.
