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.

Jared Kushner and Lara Trump are in deep campaign finance trouble. Mike Pence’s nephew is involved. Rudy Giuliani was at the White House today. Pardon talk in the air. Donald Trump is totally in la la land. Can’t wait until this Trump endgame nonsense is over so we can all get a good night’s sleep.

Provided he didn’t improperly skip ahead of anyone in line, I’m not in the business of wanting to deny people the vaccine on the sole basis of me not liking them. But I do have a real problem with Murdoch getting the vaccine even as his Fox News stooge Tucker Carlson is on air ranting against the vaccine. Either Murdoch and company think the vaccine is legitimate or they don’t. Pick a side.
