The Democrats’ agenda is just getting started

| 9:09 am EDT September 22, 2021
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.

If you’ve given up on the Democrats’ legislative agenda and you’re only focusing on the midterms, you’re doing it wrong. The agenda is very much alive. Infrastructure and voting rights are still in play this term. Don’t lose the plot. Fight for the agenda now, midterms later.

If you’re focused on getting revenge against Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema because they’re not supporting our agenda, you’re also very much doing it wrong. To plot revenge is to assume you’ve already lost the battle. We absolutely have not lost anything. Manchin and Sinema are scared lightweights who will absolutely bend to our will if we place the proper pressure on them. Focus on winning, not on getting revenge for losing. We can get revenge on them later. For now it’s all about bending them to our will. Anything else is a losing mindset.

– Tweet of the day, from former Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Signorelli: “I believe it’s imperative that Manhattan DA requests a hearing as to who is paying the attorneys’ fees for Weisselberg. There could be a potential conflict if his co-defendant, the Trump Org or a potential target, is paying his fees, since he’s entitled to conflict free counsel.”
