Calling all hands
Dear Palmer Report readers, it’s been a tough year but the fight is more important than ever. For that reason I’ve launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it’ll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and into a crucial 2026. I’m asking you…
Read MoreThis is just staggering
Donald Trump held a signing ceremony for an executive order this week and then wandered off without signing it, but I’m not here to talk about Trump’s worsening dementia today.
