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.

Donald Trump set something of a record earlier today when he falsely declared victory on Twitter shortly before he was formally declared the loser of the election – a tweet which has received a stunning 880,000 mostly negative replies. Now Joe Biden has stepped to the plate on Twitter with a very different result.

When Joe Biden posted a tweet accepting his election victory, it received 2.7 million likes in just the first five hours alone. That means it’s already the thirteenth-most liked tweet in the history of Twitter [Update, 6:30pm: now the tenth-most liked tweet in history]. It’s also more likes than Donald Trump has ever gotten on any of his tweets. Biden has already blown Trump out of the water on his favorite platform.

Speaking of Twitter, here’s a thought: in January the @POTUS account on Twitter will belong to Joe Biden, and the @VP account will belong to Kamala Harris. That’s right, Kamala will be taking control of Mike Pence’s Twitter account. That’s fitting.
