New York Times congressional reporters Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater will be out in 2025 with "a rollicking, unvarnished, and deeply sourced account of life inside the Republican Party focusing on the GOP-led 118th Congress."

Why it matters: The book will be a "fast-paced insider's account of how Washington works today," according to Penguin Random House, the publisher.

What they're saying: "Each of us had long been toying with the idea of writing a book," Karni told me. "We both see reporting, especially on the Hill, as such a team sport, we decided ... a book ... was a two-person job. And it's also more fun that way."

Broadwater added: "'I've loved most of my previous beats, including covering Baltimore City Hall and the [Maryland] State House. But there's no better place to take the pulse of American society than Congress."

The book was represented by Matt Latimer and Keith Urbahn of Javelin.
