Here comes the Friday night news dump

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.

It’s the finally Friday night of Donald Trump’s failed and imploding presidency, so we’ve been wondering if a Friday night news dump would emerge. Sure enough, it now appears to be starting to happen.

First came the resignation of Trump’s HHS Secretary Alex Azar, who has the dual distinction of being covered in Trump’s stink and playing a key role in botching the pandemic. GSA Administrator Emily Murphy, who previously tried to hold up the Biden transition (remember her?), has also reportedly resigned tonight. It’s still only 10:30pm eastern time, so we’ll see if this is the start of something bigger as the night goes on.
