TALK: From 7 to 8 p.m., Politico and Starbucks are teaming up at SBux inside GWU’s Gelman Library (2130 H Street NW) to host a political conversation moderated by Politico’s Mike Allen: CNN’s Dana Bash and John King will both be on hand to discuss the new administration (NBC’s Chuck Todd apparently had to cancel).
