Here’s the thing about Donald Trump’s time in power. He has tried, as many times as possible, to break the law and do horrible things and get away with them. He has, at times, gotten away with such things. But just as often, and far more importantly, he has often failed to get away with…

Voters face stark choices for offices with vast powers on policing and punishment. Bolts walks you through key contests to watch across a dozen states.

“I don’t know if they feel confident. Some counties are more confident than others,” Chris McGinn, executive director of the Texas Association of County Elections Officials, said. “Right now what we’r...

The hosts blew off their Fox News shows for some Xi time.

In the closing weeks of his campaign, the senator is focused on “bringing back mental institutions” and fearing furries who fly airplanes.

In his latest attack on the US Constitution, Trump banned CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House. Trump once again abused that most sacred instrument of American rights and freedoms that he swore to “preserve, protect and defend” because his brittle vanity can’t handle truthful criticism. That’s not the reason Trump gave, of course.…

The midterms are getting closer and closer. And the odds are very much in our favor. Want to know why? Because we’ve got GOOD candidates and amazing ideas; we need to win to put them into fruition. But the odds are ever in our favor, and I’ve brought receipts. Let’s take a look at where…

Support Palmer Report’s efforts to win the 2026 midterms, donate here now. Each election cycle there are 435 House races in total. But only about fifty of them end up being competitive at all, and only half of those end up being highly competitive. It’s not just because of things like gerrymandering. Think about it:…

Somewhere over the BLUE rainbow, the murmurs of discontent can be felt and heard by the voting public. The murmurs are coming from inside the House — that House BEING the United States of America, the peoples’ haven — or at least it WAS until Donald John Trump got his smudgy little hands on it.…

This week will mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, and unfortunately Donald Trump is currently holding the office of President of the United States. Even on his best day, Trump would never have been able to do a respectable job of honoring 9/11. We’ve spent decades watching him try to make…

If Obama had been convicted of 34 felonies. If Obama had a much younger woman who was clearly besotted with him, follow him everywhere 24/7. If Obama made billions of dollars while president. If Obama sold 600,000 “gold” telephones for $300 and delivered only a tiny number of cheap, tacky phones made in Taiwan after…

NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the poster child for famous people who would be better off never opening their mouth in public. Every time Rodgers speaks, he comes off as more insane. His anti-vaccine conspiracy theories have even gone as far as to cause trouble for politics-free sports network ESPN. Now Rodgers is speaking again,…

With Trump’s cooptation of the Republican party complete, this week SCOTUS allowed Trump’s illegal White House ballroom construction to continue. What stood out about the 5-4 ruling was the lone right-wing dissenter, Justice Roberts. While not legally binding, dissent can signal instability in the court’s split opinion, can guide lower-courts, or can urge Congress to…

Yet another desecration of the national character was inflicted on America by Trump on Sunday. It happened at the so-called “Freedom 250 Grand Prix,” held around the National Mall. The resulting deafening noises of an auto race and the Nuremberg-like roar of the crowd are two of the five forms of entertainment Trump understands. The…

I’m sure you’ve noticed—because of course you have—Donald Trump’s preoccupation with people’s appearances. Rumor has it (and has for a LONG while) that he hires based on the appearance of interested applicants. AND of course we know when Donnie doesn’t like someone, he immediately zeroes in on their appearance, as the following story confirms. It…

Support Palmer Report’s efforts to win the 2026 midterms, donate here now. There are just over 60 days left until the midterm elections. Let’s send Donald Trump and his party packing. Each election cycle there are 435 House races in total. But only about fifty of them end up being competitive at all, and only…

The headlines are now screaming about how the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Donald Trump’s utterly insane plan to all but eliminate mail-in voting in the United States. Trump himself certainly seems to believe that the Supreme Court just ruled in his favor. This would be a devastating blow to our democracy…

Harry Sisson made a great point about the sudden wave of Trump administration resignations. Accountability. While White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt most likely quit unexpectedly because Trump left her on the decoy plane, others may be quitting to get ahead of Democrats potentially taking control of Congress after the midterms. So far, in the…

She frantically searches the diminishing supply of positive stories about Trump on the internet. She prints them out and reads them aloud to him. She writes adoring letters to Trump that she leaves in his personal space for him to find, like notes from a lovesick teenager. One of the notes said, “You are all…

Voting records from Palm Beach County show the president requested his ballot in late July and it was returned on Aug. 13.
