What is PoliticsWyre?

PoliticsWyre is a free political intelligence wire service. We monitor 120+ sources covering Washington DC — the presidency, Congress, the Supreme Court, and the broader political landscape — and deliver a clear-eyed morning briefing every day by 7 AM ET.

Our Standard

We follow what we call the Cronkite Standard, named after Walter Cronkite — the most trusted voice in American journalism. We report what happened, who did it, and what it means. We attribute everything. We give both sides equal treatment. We write in plain language.

We don't tell you what to think. We give you what you need to think for yourself.

How it works

Every morning, we scan 120+ sources across DC media, political journalism, congressional records, court filings, watchdog reports, think tank publications, political podcasts, YouTube, and social media. An AI system curates and summarizes the top stories. A human editor reviews every brief before it goes out.

Is it really free?

Yes. No premium tier. No paywall. No credit card required. The API, the RSS feed, the email newsletter, the full daily brief — all free. We believe informed citizens shouldn't need a subscription.

Who makes this?

PoliticsWyre is an independent project. It is not affiliated with any political party, news organization, government entity, or advocacy group.
