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.

Republican Senators were already in disarray about whether they needed to call witnesses against Donald Trump during his impeachment trial, because failing to do so could harm their own personal chances at reelection. Last night’s Lev Parnas interview with Rachel Maddow upset the apple cart even further. If you’re looking for evidence of just how rattled the GOP Senate is about the trial, just ask Republican Senator Martha McSally.

Better yet, you can watch respected CNN reporter Manu Raju ask Martha McSally about whether the Senate should consider the new evidence from Parnas. McSally promptly melted down, saying “You’re a liberal hack I’m not talking to you … You’re a liberal hack.” Watch the video below:

Martha McSally lost when she ran for Senate in 2018. She was then appointed to the late John McCain’s Senate seat, to finish out the term which ends in 2020. She’s now up for reelection already, and her Democratic challenger is respected Navy veteran and former astronaut Mark Kelly. There’s a very good chance McSally is about to lose her Senate seat after just two years, after having never earned it to begin with. Trump’s impeachment trial could hurt her odds even more. No wonder she’s melting down.
