Good morning, Playbookers.

It's Thursday.

Today, the January 6th committee preps for a primetime moment of truth.

It's your Politico Playbook Daily Briefing.

This afternoon, President Joe Biden travels to Wilkes Bar, Pennsylvania, to talk about crime.

And the White House is announcing a new Safer America plan that details how Biden would spend
