Donald Trump’s return to power one month ago has brought about significant changes to the federal government and the dynamics of power in Washington. The impact of these changes is expected to be felt for years to come, as the administration seeks to transform or eliminate various sections of the executive branch and shift power towards the presidency.
The federal government as we know it today is largely shaped by historical movements such as the New Deal, World War II, and the social and regulatory activism of the 1960s and 1970s. The disruption that the Trump administration is currently promoting is unprecedented and has far-reaching implications for the future.
To capture this moment, POLITICO is relaunching its signature product, West Wing Playbook: Remaking Government. This newsletter will provide in-depth coverage of President Trump’s efforts to remake government, including key decisions, critical characters, and power dynamics driving the day. With a team of talented reporters covering the White House, federal policy, legal, and political beats, POLITICO aims to deliver authoritative and timely news to its audience.
The revamped newsletter will focus on the actions of the Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk, the strategies of the Office of Management and Budget under Russ Vought, and the resulting outcomes and conflicts in agencies, courts, and Capitol Hill. The goal is to provide valuable insights to those most affected by these changes, including federal workers and individuals carrying out Trump’s directives.
In addition to the newsletter, POLITICO is committed to providing comprehensive coverage of the federal government’s work, with a team of policy and political journalists dedicated to illuminating every aspect of this historical moment. The publication’s reporting is driven by curiosity and a commitment to answering important questions for its audience, without bias or partisanship.
As many news organizations have shifted focus away from covering the workings of the federal government, POLITICO sees an opportunity to engage with a wide audience of individuals who are deeply invested in policy choices. The newsroom is dedicated to producing high-quality work to meet this moment and provide valuable insights into the inner workings of Washington.
In conclusion, POLITICO’s commitment to illuminating the actions of the federal government and engaging with its audience remains steadfast. The relaunch of West Wing Playbook: Remaking Government is just one example of the publication’s dedication to providing authoritative coverage of this historic moment in Washington.
