On the latest edition of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice talk with Taegan Goddard, founder of the must-read site Political Wire. You can become a Political Wire subscriber by clicking the button just below:

On the show, Taegan tells us:

* How a feature in the Wall Street Journal inspired him to create his own news site—all the way back in 1999.

* How he handles the daily firehose of news to deliver pithy summaries for the hardcore news junkies who rely on his work.

* Why businesses and investors who imagine they can plan around Trump’s erratic tariff policies are deluding themselves.

And much more!
