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.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has worked so hard to keep his state unsafe from COVID, has announced today that he now has COVID himself. He’s fully vaccinated, so he’ll likely be okay. But the same may not be able to be said about a number of people who recently attended an event with him.

Last night Abbott posted this tweet:

That’s right, Abbott was in a room yesterday with a whole bunch of his supporters, with none of them wearing masks, and at least some of them surely unvaccinated. It’s not clear if Abbott caught COVID at the event, or if Abbott already had COVID when he attended the event. Either way, that event could go down as a super spreader event.
