Aaron Rupar is an independent journalist and the publisher of the Public Notice newsletter covering US politics and media. He previously worked at Vox, where he covered Trumpism and the Trump administration. Most recently he was notably involved in a controversial dust-up with Twitter’s 'Chief Twit' Elon Musk, who ‘temporarily’ permanently suspended him last month before lifting the suspension after much public outcry and a truly bizarre online poll.
Join us for a fascinating chat as Aaron gives us the skinny on what went down with Musk; his overall take on Twitter; and his thoughts on a range of political subjects including Trump, Kevin McCarthy, George Santos and the House drama, and the Biden/Trump mishandled classified documents scandals. You'll also learn whether those mop-topped lads from Liverpool made into Aaron's Top 5! of all time!
