Don’t even think about it

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.

Twitter is not for everyone. But if you’re on Twitter and you enjoy it, don’t you dare delete your Twitter account just because of Elon Musk’s takeover attempt. Musk is facing significant regulatory and national security hurdles, no matter how many times he claims it’s a done deal.

Even if Musk does end up owning Twitter, the resulting pressure and scrutiny will probably just destroy him as he continues to fall apart. Twitter is our platform. If a right wing loon like Musk is hoping we’ll abandon it, that’s all the more reason to stick it out.

– Tweet of the day, from President Joe Biden: “Republican governors wrote me a letter saying student debt relief only helps the ‘elite few.’ Ted Cruz, the great senator from Texas, said it’s for slackers who don’t deserve relief. Who in the hell do they think they are?”

– Tweet of the day part two, from John Fetterman: “We can’t let Dr. Oz take away women’s reproductive freedom. Send me to D.C. and I’ll be that 51st vote to codify Roe v. Wade.”
