Here’s how we stop Mitch McConnell from filling RBG’s seat

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.

Mitch McConnell will do everything he can to confirm someone. Chuck Schumer will do everything he can to block or delay it. But neither of them has a magic wand. Therefore, neither of them will decide whether the confirmation happens – you will.

First rule of dealing with McConnell: never take his words at face value. He has no idea yet whether he has the votes. But he’ll publicly insist that he does have the votes, in the hope you’ll assume you’ve lost, so you’ll give up and stop fighting. Don’t let him psych you out.

It’s not about whether you trust the likes of Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Gardner, etc. They’ll always do what they think is personally best for their careers. It’s about whether you can convince them that their only shot at keeping their careers is if they refuse to confirm.

One thing for all republican Senators to keep in mind tonight: Susan Collins voted for Kavanaugh, and as result she’s losing her Senate seat by 12 points. Mitch McConnell promised he’d take care of Collins, but it didn’t happen. Other republican Senators can’t count on McConnell to protect them either.
