POLITICO Playbook
The essential morning briefing for Washington insiders covering the intersection of politics and policy.
POLITICO Playbook is the newsletter that Washington reads first every morning. Since its creation by Mike Allen (who later left to co-found Axios), Playbook has been the definitive morning briefing for political professionals, lobbyists, journalists, and anyone who needs to understand what is happening in American politics before the day begins.
Now authored by Rachael Bade and Eugene Daniels, Playbook delivers a concise and comprehensive overview of the day's political landscape, including behind-the-scenes reporting, scoops, and analysis that set the agenda for political media. With over one million subscribers, it remains the most widely read political newsletter in Washington and is often cited as the single most influential piece of media in the nation's capital.
