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.

One day after Donald Trump drew one of the weakest crowds of support in modern inauguration history, millions of Americans are turning out in Washington DC and all across the United States and the world to stand against him. The Women’s March on Washington today has visibly outdrawn Trump’s inauguration crowd by orders of magnitude, and overhead photos from around the nation and world reveal that women and the men who have joined them today are simply taking over.

The New York Daily News is confirming that “millions” have shown up for the Women’s Marches around the world, while the Washington Post estimates half a million people turned out for the Women’s March in DC alone.

Meanwhile Trump’s inauguration yesterday drew a historically weak crowd — and then he punished the National Park Service for tweeting about the poor attendance.
