This is so insulting to journalists who need jobs
a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

Damn no one tell him how much the Terminal costs!
amid the storm, this is really making me laugh. in which Elon Musk sees the cost of Politico Pro and says, “surely that can’t be right” … no gurl … it is!! this figures to roughly $1,200 per month per user. for the super power user subs, sure! (h/t @alykatzz.bsky.social)

DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.

This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.

That review is "dead," person familiar says.

This is I think my seventh Dry January? Can’t say it changes the other 11th months but it works well for me and I like figuring out alternatives. I always recommend kombucha and Lyre’s. Mocktail martini that isn’t just olives up next
Will probably get back to my dirty martini reviews in February (after Dry January) but honestly not expecting to be wowed until I visit a nice hotel again. Hotels always have the best dirty martinis.
