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.

Troubles are now mounting for House Republican Lauren Boebert by the hour. Earlier this afternoon her Communications Director resigned, citing the Capitol domestic terrorist attack. Now elected officials in Boebert’s own district are seeking an investigation into her actions in relation to the attack.

It’ll be up to law enforcement investigators to determine whether Boebert or anyone else in the House has criminal liability for their roles in inciting the Capitol attack. But even if Boebert doesn’t end up criminally charged, it’s difficult to see her emerging unscathed from this. She’s become a pariah, and now even her own district seems to be turning against her.
