It seems certain that the disruption the Trump administration is promoting now \u2014 seeking to transform or eliminate vast sections of the executive branch, and to alter the balance of power emphatically toward the presidency \u2014 has equally large implications, for the present and for many years into the future.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we&#8217;re relaunching one of our signature products to capture this moment authoritatively for this audience: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/west-wing-playbook?cid=mkt_25q1_politico_wwpb-remaking\" target=\"_blank\"><b>West Wing Playbook: Remaking Government<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>POLITICO has the capital\u2019s most talented reporters covering the White House, federal policy, legal and political beats. Our aim is to harness this expertise in a way that is most useful to the audience that is most interested in and affected by the unprecedented changes and confrontations that are underway.<\/p>\n<p>The revamped newsletter will land in inboxes Monday through Friday afternoon to capture the latest news about President Trump\u2019s effort to remake government: the key decisions, the critical characters and the power dynamics that are driving the day. Our team will report on the actions of the Department of Government Efficiency being led by Elon Musk, the strategy being carried out by the Office of Management and Budget under Russ Vought, related interventions and the resulting outcomes and conflicts playing out in agencies, the courts and Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>We hope this newsletter will be useful to everyone around the country and even the world who is interested in this effort to remake Washington, but above all it must be indispensable to the people with the most at stake. This includes people in the federal workforce, and also the people carrying out President Trump\u2019s directives. We need to know everything about their choices, the ideas and arguments behind those choices, and most importantly the real-life consequences of those choices.<\/p>\n<p>We want the newsletter to reflect and drive the conversation at top levels, deep in the federal agencies, and in every private sector and nonprofit policy operation that is concerned with how government works and how it could work better.<\/p>\n<p>The newsletter, of course, is just one of the ways that POLITICO is rising to meet this historical moment. Our entire publication, and especially our large roster of policy and political journalists in Washington, is in the midst of organizing itself to illuminate every aspect of this drama. The short-term surge underway is part of our long-term commitment to covering the work of the federal government with more reporting and more authority than any other news organization.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear: POLITICO\u2019s power flows from our reporting and our zeal to illuminate. We are curious and clear-eyed. We aren\u2019t boosters or adversaries of any party or political movement. We are professionals who are devoted to answering important questions on behalf of our audience.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll close with an observation about Washington reporting. When I first arrived here, in the 1980s, there was a very substantial body of journalists, from multiple publications, devoted to covering the workings of the federal government. For a variety of reasons, many news organizations have retreated from this task. A proliferation of old and new publications are focused, as we are, on the political dynamics of Washington, but there are fewer than ever that harness this reporting to the substantive policy choices of government.<\/p>\n<p>This reality gives POLITICO special responsibilities, as well as a great opportunity to engage with and deepen our connection to a large audience of people who work on and care deeply about those choices.<\/p>\n<p>Our newsroom is committed to meeting this moment with the best and most vital work of our careers.<\/p>\n<p>John Harris<\/p>\n<p>Editor-in-Chief<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump returned to power exactly one month ago today, and it is hardly possible&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politico_politics","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Welcome to a new era of West Wing Playbook - Marin &amp;
