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.

Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to twenty-three years in prison today for his rape conviction. Donald Trump would likely be in prison for sexual assault himself by now, if he weren’t hiding behind the presidency, so naturally Trump hasn’t had anything to say about Weinstein today.

But Joe Biden is showing real leadership by addressing the matter head-on:

Today is a historic day for the #MeToo movement & for survivors of sexual violence. The bravery of those who stopped Weinstein cannot be overstated, & the burden of speaking out cannot be on survivors alone. We have to change our culture & our system to end sexual assault. https://t.co/LIhnOv8bFg

Now that’s what a president is supposed to sound like when it comes to matters like this. If we work hard and work smart, Joe Biden will win in November, and we can start getting used to having presidential leadership again.
