The ABC News Political Unit

— -- We try to live professionally at that sweet spot between politics and government, and from The Note to Noted Now and throughout the day, we'll offer the political news you want, when you want it.

About the Site

The site's coverage is anchored by The Note, a morning news summary that will tell you what you need to know about politics at that critical moment in the news cycle.

Each weekday (if you sign up), we'll send you an e-mail notification around 9:00 a.m., with the link to the site, letting you know The Note is live. Just go here, to our e-mail registration center, and sign up for the politics-l list.

And throughout the day, you'll see stories and headlines on Noted Now that will keep you in the loop, ahead of the curve, up to speed, in the know, and all the other things you want to be.

If you have questions, comments, suggestions or a hot political tip, you can e-mail us at politicalunit@abcnews.com
