The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted a wide range of social problems, from the slow deaths of American communities to cultural hypochondriasis to the damage that can be done by a too-powerful government bureaucracy.

Over 2,000 subscribersAs Trump’s second term begins, I find myself wondering what media coverage of his administration will look like.

As a self-described media critic, I wanted to be the first to share with you a new publication, Commonplace, an online magazine about the political, economic, and social concerns of ordinary Americans. It launched yesterday, and it’s brought to you by the think tank American Compass.

President-elect Donald Trump’s return to Washington will surely bring with it a renewed focus on the administrative state and its excesses.
