Let me share a few recent emails from happy readers:

I wanted to say what a great job you do with Political Wire. I’m a member and a very, very satisfied one at that. I was one of the early members and am on auto-renewal with your site. Political Wire is one of two political sites that I visit regularly i.e. everyday and multiple times a day too.

Here’s another one:

I am a political junkie and I mainline your site (to keep the metaphor going). I check several sites throughout the day but yours is always first. I’m not saying you can’t go on vacation but I do notice… Thanks for helping a lot of us get through this scary time.

And one more:

I just wanted to convey a brief message regarding the value I place on your service.  I became a subscriber in January 2017 having waded through the advertising based pages for a few years.  Moving to the subscription based service has made your site even stronger as your pages are simple, clean and free of clutter, pop-ups, annoying videos that simply start on their own and other gimmicks that seem to be taking over other sites.

I find myself coming back to your site multiple times in a day (perhaps too many as I may be addicted).  I also enjoy the members-only articles and reading the comments other viewers make.

If you find yourself coming back to Political Wire, please consider becoming a member. You’ll help support the site and also get many exclusive benefits.

It’s just $5 a month or $50 for the year.

Fueling Political Wire, One Cup at a Time

Every morning before the sun’s up, I sit down to work on Political Wire with a cup of Trade Coffee beside me.

It’s become part of the ritual — opening the laptop, scanning the news, and taking that first sip of a roast matched perfectly to my taste. Trade connects me with small roasters across the country, delivering beans that are always fresh and far better than what you’ll find at the grocery store.

If you love coffee as much as I do, use this link to get 50% off and taste the difference for yourself.
