We knew this was coming

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.

There’s no point in fretting over the fact that Donald Trump has started pardoning a number of his own people tonight. We’ve all known for the past four years that if we defeated Trump, he would go on a corrupt pardon spree on his way out the door. Now that it’s underway, it’s merely yet another reminder that he’s defeated.

– Israel has decided to hold yet another election, meaning the Israeli people now have another opportunity to finally oust corrupt Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s fitting that Trump and Netanyahu, longtime allies, could end up being ousted from office at around the same time. Then it’ll be a race to see which of them ends up in prison first.

– President Biden has picked Miguel Cardona, a former fourth grade public school teacher, for Secretary of Education. He’s the clear opposite of Betsy DeVos in every way possible. Students around the nation will benefit from this. Elections have consequences.
