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.
