In September, 2013, Domenech, along with Luke Sherman and Sean Davis co-founded "The Federalist"; senior editors include David Harsanyi and Mollie Hemingway. Domenech said at the time that "The Federalist" was inspired by the mission and worldview of the original "Time Magazine"'s editor, Henry Luce, which he described as, " to the political right, with a small-c conservatism equipped with a populist respect for the middle class reader outside of New York and Washington, and an abiding love for America at a time when snark and cynicism were not considered substitutes for smart analysis."
