The Best & The Brightest

The Best & the Brightest is Puck's daily political newsletter from Washington, featuring Tara Palmeri, Julia Ioffe, and Tina Nguyen (with cameos from the peerless Peter Hamby) on what's really happening in this town—inside the White House, Pentagon, Capitol Hill, and K Street; the machinations and insights of D.C.'s permanent political class; and the egos and intrigues transforming the modern G.O.P.
