What is Public Notice?
Public Notice is the independent home of Aaron Rupar’s coverage of politics and media, featuring his reporting and commentary from a brilliant cast of contributors.
Why subscribe?
Over three years at Vox, Aaron established himself as one of the foremost chroniclers of Trumpism, explaining what’s happening on the American right for a largely progressive audience. He immersed himself in right-wing media and watched Trump rallies so you didn’t have to. And he still does that here, with some help from friends.
Public Notice is fair, but not impartial. We think democracy and free and fair elections are good things and, unlike a lot of mainstream coverage, are not shy about saying so — or about holding major outlets accountable when they equivocate.
We cover the full gamut of American politics, including the Democratic Party’s efforts to fight back against MAGA and regain power. Public Notice situates day-to-day developments within that bigger picture.
What do I get if I subscribe?
Public Notice hits your inbox five times weekly, with a new episode of Aaron’s podcast dropping every Saturday morning. Most of what we publish is totally free, but paid subscribers also get exclusive columns, commenting privileges, access to Q&As and subscriber chats with me, and much more.
