For those who have asked: Twitter says it suspended @PalmerReport for a week because we engaged in “targeted harassment” of Donald Trump. Apparently, the President of the United States needs Twitter to step in and protect him from getting his feelings hurt by little old me :-)
Twitter specifically cited a tweet in which we said Donald Trump will be in prison for the rest of his life. That’s not “targeted harassment.” It’s a statement of fact. He’s the subject of a federal criminal investigation involving espionage and treason.
To be clear, while @PalmerReport is still visible, it’s been frozen in place. We can’t tweet, retweet, or reply from that account. Twitter notified us that the account will be frozen for seven days. It’s a backdoor suspension, aimed at making it look like we just stoped tweeting.
And also, to be clear, we’re still publishing new articles on palmerreport.com all day every day. You can go there and read them. You can tweet links to them. We just can’t tweet (anything) from our @PalmerReport account for a week.
