About

The National Memo is a political newsletter and website that combines the spirit of investigative journalism with new technology and ideas. We cover campaigns, elections, the White House, Congress, and the world with a fresh outlook. Our own journalism — as well as our selections of the smartest stories available every day — reflects a clear and strong perspective, without the kind of propaganda, ultra-partisanship and overwrought ideology that burden so much of our political discourse.


Every morning, six days a week, we bring sharp reporting and commentary on top news from Washington and around the world — with exclusive interviews and insights from the best-informed sources that take you inside the day’s most important stories. We know that everyone has too much to read and too little time. So we filter the ceaseless flood of incoming chatter to find what is useful, interesting, amusing, powerful, moving — and deliver it to your inbox with The National Memo’s Morning Memo newsletter.


We reserve the right to moderate our comments to maintain civil discourse.
