Donald Trump's Washington will be the epicenter of America's most powerful pillars: governance, business and media.

Both left and right will be consumed at scale with Trump in the information wars.
Republicans plan an epic burst of legislating and power-stretching.
The biggest industries — AI, energy, financial services (crypto included) and defense — are expected to benefit big-time with lighter regs and lower taxes.

Why it matters: Washington faces a possible reordering of government, business and media power, all at once.

What's new: Axios is launching a new offering — AM Executive Briefings — to help you navigate the new Washington.

Members will get blunt insights and analysis from Axios CEO Jim VandeHei and co-founder Mike Allen, joined by our roster of unrivaled subject matter experts. This'll be a live take on our "Behind the Curtain" columns.
In the 30 years we've both been covering Washington, this is something we've never done before. It'll be fun for us — and illuminating and useful for you.

First up: Members will be able to join monthly webinars where we'll dissect the news and trending events, and share behind-the-scenes dynamics. Recordings will be available if you can't join live.

Follow-up reports will be your indispensable guides to the new administration: the policy agenda, the tax fight, AI, energy, health care, President-elect Trump's thought process, and winners and losers in the world ahead.

Become a member here.
