Down to the wire

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.

I’ve donated to Senator Raphael Warnock. I’ve reminded people to vote for him. I’ve tweeted the donation link. I know many of you have as well. But there is more to do. Early voting is beginning!

And it is an excellent time to remind people in Georgia to please get to the polls. It is so very important. We can’t let Senator Warnock down. I look at the midterms like this.

It is a vast country, and there are red, blue, and purple lands. Every race we won, we turned the lands just a bit more blue. Spica is a star. With “a magnitude of 0.98” it is considered the bluest star in the sky. Blue above, blue below. Every time we win a race, the lands get that much bluer.

And the bluer the country is, the better for us. Because then we get to do things for this country we wouldn’t be able to do were the blue not to be there. Arizona now shines blue. Pennsylvania is covered in radiant blue with a new senator and governor.

And we need to keep Georgia – as blue as it gets. So now is such a good time to do activism. We need a huge turnout. As Palmer Report has often said, it really does come down to turnout.

The more people turn out, the greater our chances of winning. We cannot let walker win. And don’t think the Republicans are not working hard as well. So we need to work harder. If you are in Georgia, please volunteer to drive people to the polls. If you phone bank, now is a great time to hit the phones.

And donate. Tweet. Do everything in your power to get us that 51st seat. It’s Thanksgiving weekend, and people are in a good mood. What better time than now? Imagine how we will all feel hearing: “Senator Warnock has won reelection.”

We will feel satisfaction in knowing we saved the seat of a great man. We will feel euphoria in that we worked so very hard. And we will feel joy in watching the bluest of the blue stars — Senator Warnock win his seat, giving us 51 seats and a solid Democratic majority.
