Mitch McConnell is having a really terrible night

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 really thought he had the Democrats boxed in with that lousy $600 stimulus cap just ahead of the Georgia runoff elects. But McConnell’s victory barely lasted twenty-four hours, and now he’s suddenly having the worst night of anyone in politics. Funny how that works.

– Of course Trump wants to send cash payments to every American. He knows that twelve of them are going to end up on the jury at his criminal trial.

– Tweet of the day, from House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff: “Last night, McConnell claimed ‘Republicans were advocating for a package just like this one, all along, in real time.’ That’s just not true. They opposed a bill at $3.2 trillion, $2 trillion, $1.8 trillion and, yes, $900 billion. In real time. Don’t let him gaslight you.”
