Mike Johnson is still Speaker of the House for some reason, even though his skillset and personality are more compatible with being unemployable.

No really, Mike Johnson went on TV and said this. Even after the CNN host pointed out that one of Johnson’s own Republican colleagues had confirmed that these were real constituents, Johnson still doubled down on it.

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
