Told you Ron DeSantis was in trouble

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.

When Palmer Report pointed out a few months ago that Florida was turning on Ron DeSantis, a reporter from Politico mocked us for it. Today’s Politico headline: “Florida starts turning on DeSantis.” This is why you read Palmer Report. Everyone in the media knew back then that DeSantis was in trouble; we were just the only ones willing to say it until recently.

– Speaking of Ron DeSantis, at the rate he’s killing people in Florida, he must own stock in coffin companies.

– Last night Palmer Report (and a lot of others) took the New York Times to task for publishing an essentially fictional article which claimed that DeSantis had made a “strong” push on vaccinations in Florida. The legendary Dan Rather summed it up best today, tweeting this to the New York Times: “May I suggest a slight reframing of the story of COVID in Florida. I mean… really???”

– Tweet of the day, from Stella Parton: “You’re entitled not to get vaccinated. You’re entitled to not wear a mask. How dare you feel entitled to take up a hospital bed, medical care and equipment for your Covid infection when innocent people who can’t help themselves need that space, attention and medical equipment!”
