Dear Palmer Report readers,
We all understand what a dark era we're heading into. Journalists will be prosecuted. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. Advertising networks can't be counted on. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight, because someone has to.
In that regard we're looking to start funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens or how dark things get. We've launched a reader supported fund, and we've already raised $3360 and counting. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can contribute here. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Bill Palmer

Last night we all learned that a former member of Jared Kushner’s own coronavirus task force thought he was doing such a horrifying job, he filed a formal complaint with the House Oversight Committee. Even as we wait for confirmation about whether the committee is planning to hold investigative hearings over this, it turns out Kushner is on to a new scheme.
Apparently Kushner didn’t screw up badly enough when it came to coronavirus medical supplies, so now Donald Trump has put him in charge of something even more important: the coronavirus vaccine. No, really. Someone (whose name likely rhymes with “Kared Jushner”) is leaking to the Daily Beast that Jared Kushner is now in charge of finding a vaccine.
This is profoundly disturbing. The vaccine is what’s ultimately going to decide when this crisis is over. Until we have a vaccine, we’ll still be dealing with lockdowns, clumsy attempts at social distancing, idiots who refuse to wear masks, and worsening death tolls. Yet an increasingly senile Donald Trump wants to put his mystifyingly incompetent son-in-law in charge of finding the cure. Come on. This is as absurd as when OJ Simpson said he was looking for the real killers.
