This is a huge haul

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.

For the past few weeks the media has been talking loudly about how the very worst of insurrectionist Republicans are being rewarded with record setting campaign donations. Palmer Report urged everyone to put this into proper context, because these days just about everyone is receiving record donations.

Sure enough, ActBlue – which raises money for Democratic candidates – now says it raised a whopping $314 million dollars in the first quarter of this year:

That’s nearly a third of a billion dollars in just one quarter. It’s also nearly twice what ActBlue raised in the first quarter of 2019. So whenever you hear these ominous media reports about the Republicans raising seemingly insurmountable amounts of money, keep in mind that the Democrats are also raising huge amounts of money – it just doesn’t get the same kind of media coverage.
