Why Subscribe to The Transom?
The Transom is a newsletter offering daily analysis of the most important stories in politics, culture, and foreign policy written and edited by me, Ben Domenech.
This newsletter started back in 2011 as a way for me to do radio and TV show prep for the day. It features opinion, international and political news, and cultural content of interest from around the web, as well as podcast interviews with newsmakers and writers from across the political spectrum.
Paying subscribers never miss an edition, and you can also join our Transom Book Club via Zoom, where we dig into a wide variety of books.
A little about me: I am the Editor at Large of The Spectator and a Fox News Contributor where I host “The Ben Domenech Podcast”.
Most of my career has been in conservative media and public policy. I co-founded The Federalist and served as its publisher for a decade. In 2004 I co-founded the conservative group blog Redstate. I dropped out of college to work in the George W. Bush White House, then as a speechwriter for HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson and Senator John Cornyn of Texas. After leaving Capitol Hill, I served as a Fellow at The Manhattan Institute and Senior Fellow at The Heartland Institute.
I’ve been published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Politico, National Review, Commentary, Reason, The New York Post, and many other places. I live in Virginia with my wife and daughters.

I hope you enjoy the newsletter and share it with your friends!
