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 a free bag of coffee and taste the difference for yourself.
