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.

If Stephen King has a unique knack for crafting horror stories in fiction, then Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has a unique knack for crafting horror stories in real life. DeSantis has made just about every corrupt decision, boneheaded move, and arrogant tantrum a leader can make.

Fittingly, Stephen King had this to say on Twitter about the DeSantis debacle: “Hey, Florida–here’s your man Ron DeSantis: Not only are COVID infections in Florida sky high, the beaches are almost uninhabitable due to red tide from the Piney Point disaster, and the fish kill is in the mega tons.”

Stephen King added this: “DeSantis policies are right-wing ‘the individual rules and to hell with what happens’ policies. They are turning a beautiful state into a big ICU ward where even healthy people can barely breathe.”
