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.

– President elect Joe Biden has succeeded in getting the GSA to back down and begin the transition. Consider how he got there. He didn’t angrily stomp his feet, which would have undercut his own leverage. He didn’t litigate against Emily Murphy, which could have caused her to dig in for a fight. Instead he merely kept calmly rolling out cabinet picks, as Murphy’s footing eroded. It’s how you use leverage to win. It’s why Biden is going to excel as President.

– Joe Biden has put John Kerry on the National Security Council. Donald Trump once put Steve Bannon on the National Security Council.

– So this presumably means we’ll end up getting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill after all.

– Fox News host Laura Ingraham just gave her own concession speech: “Unless the legal situation changes in dramatic and frankly an unlikely manner, Joe Biden will be inaugurated on January 20th.”
