Reaction to the Comment Bubbles

April 8, 2021 at 9:19 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Thanks for your feedback on the “comment bubbles” I’m using below selected Political Wire posts. The reaction from more than 90% of readers was overwhelmingly positive.

From those who disagreed there were some great suggestions for how I should use them and possibly make them better.

Political Wire readers are the smartest — and most attractive — people on the entire Internet!

Thank You!

It was just about a year ago that the digital advertising market cratered due to the shutdown of the economy to control the pandemic.

Without our members, it’s unlikely Political Wire would have been able to cover one of the most intense and crazy political years in our lifetimes.

Thanks to everyone who supports this site!

Help Is On the Way!

February 17, 2021 at 2:16 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Actually, it’s here already.

I’m pleased to announce that David Jonas is now a senior contributor to Political Wire. He’ll be helping with the editorial side of the site, from creating news posts to writing analytical pieces for members.

Previously, David was a staffer for Sen. Al Franken and Gov. Terry McAuliffe and he’s also worked on more than two dozen political campaigns. That experience really helps inform his political writing.

Join me in welcoming David!

It’s Been a Truly Insane Year

December 31, 2020 at 9:16 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

We’re at the end of a year that brought a presidential impeachment trial, a global pandemic that has killed more than 340,000 Americans, a nationwide social movement for racial justice, the election of a new president and an outgoing president who still refuses to accept the results of that election even though the final tally wasn’t even close.

Political Wire documented all of it — in 14,358 posts, so far — an archive Rick Perlstein said last night “will be a boon to future historians.”

It’s all possible because of our members. If you’re not yet a member, sign up today and you’ll get exclusive analysis, new features and no advertising.

Thank you for reading!
