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.

Earlier today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats unveiled the HEROES Act, a sweeping piece of legislation that protects Americans financially and medically during the coronavirus crisis. Now Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu is throwing down the gauntlet in favor of the legislation:

The HEROES ACT is what we need to address the scale of the pandemic crisis.

We need to help those on the frontlines; create a safe environment to reopen; and get stimulus funds into the hands of the American people. https://t.co/nJuT89ftge

Speaker Nancy Pelosi added this:

America’s working families are struggling as the #coronavirus devastates our national and local economies.

Once again, Democrats are putting the needs of these #FamiliesFirst in order to ease the burden of bills that have never stopped coming. https://t.co/wS0fHGeZtJ
