PoliticusUSA was founded in 2009 by Jason Easley, a political blogger and commentator. The idea behind the website was to create a platform that would provide progressive and left-leaning perspectives on American politics and current events. Easley, who had previously worked as a political consultant, saw an opportunity to offer an alternative to what he perceived as a conservative bias in much of the mainstream media. Today, PoliticusUSA continues to be owned and operated by Easley and his team of writers and editors. Based in the United States, PoliticusUSA covers a wide range of political news and analysis, with a particular focus on federal and state-level elections, legislative debates, and the actions of the executive branch. The website also occasionally reports on international affairs that have a significant impact on American politics. In addition to news coverage, PoliticusUSA features opinion pieces, commentary, and interviews with political figures, activists, and experts. One interesting fact: PoliticusUSA has a unique approach to sourcing its content, drawing not only from its own team of writers but also from a network of freelance contributors and citizen journalists. This allows the website to offer a diverse range of perspectives on the political issues it covers, often providing readers with insights that may not be readily available in other media outlets.
Politicus is ranked 7,451 among other media sources and has an average of 786,691 monthly visits according to Similar Web.
