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.

– As soon as election day came and went, Donald Trump and his Republican allies quickly abandoned the phony Hunter Biden laptop scandal they’d invented. This wasn’t surprising, considering they didn’t need it any more. But after Trump officially gave up on a second term last night, the alleged laptop repairman in the scandal has suddenly skipped town. That’s not suprirrisng. Manufacturing a phony scandal on that level nearly always involves criminal behavior, and now the guy can see that Trump isn’t going to be around to protect him.

– Speaking of moving on, the White House just signed off on Joe Biden getting a Presidential Daily Briefing, and it’s now being scheduled. This puts Biden further in the driver’s seat, because now he can approach transition period foreign policy with awareness of what’s going on. The irony is that Trump has been getting these daily briefs for four years, but by all accounts, has never really paid attention to them.

– Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Nevada have all certified their election results today, in the latest reminder that we’re getting on with it now.
