On April 26th, 2024, the Department of Homeland Security released a report on alleviating risk at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats (CBRN threats). While a relatively new technology, AI is rapidly growing and poses a significant risk to American national security. Without a defined regulatory policy for […]

Intellectual Curiosity is Dying. We can Still Save it
So, Ever argued on the internet? Have you ever “won” an argument on the internet? The process usually starts with bravado and is matched with the same energy from a near-opposite position. Sometimes, you might even go so far down the rabbit hole that you find sources that agree with your belief without fully vetting […]
Why the Democratic Party Should Embrace the Dan Osborn Platform
The 2024 elections were, without question, a catastrophe for the Democratic Party. Between Vice President Harris losing convincingly and losing control of the Senate – which includes Dave McCormick’s upset win over Incumbent Senator Bob Casey – there were effectively no bright spots for Democrats. As I mentioned in my previous article, for the Democratic […]

It Needs To Be Said: The Democrats Deserved Every Bit of Their Loss. So What Should Happen Next?
In case anyone hadn’t noticed, a rather important election was held just two days ago in the United States, with that being the 2024 presidential election. This is not to say the other races were unimportant, but the focal point was certainly lasered onto the race between Vice President Harris and President Trump (now President-elect […]
The Precedent is Clear: the CSG Leadership Must Resign
To resign is to take responsibility for one’s actions. Ever since SHUT IT DOWN took power in CSG in April 2024, its leadership has mixed incompetency with actual malice toward the U-M community. It’s time that the President and Vice President of the Central Student Government take responsibility for their misdeeds and depart their offices […]
How the Democrats are Throwing This Election
Remember Joe Biden? I vaguely remember him, besides his argument with former President Trump about golf (Trump would win, by the way). If you compared Kamala after September’s debate to Biden’s “debate,” it’s night and day. Trump and Vance are both underwater in their favorability. This sounds like a solid victory incoming, seeing the way […]
Trump vs Harris Post-Debate Analysis: Did Harris Overperform Or Did Trump Underperform?
The U.S. presidential debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump was certainly highly anticipated. Following the poor debate performance of President Biden at the June 27th debate and his subsequent decision to drop out three weeks later, Vice President Harris became the presumptive, and eventual nominee for the Democratic Party. President Trump, who […]
Why Republicans Should Support Puerto Rican Statehood
March 18th, 1959. Arguably one of the most consequential pieces of legislation slid across Dwight D. Eisenhower’s desk; the President greeted the press with a large smile as he stamped the Hawaii Admission Act. Even despite the dark history and acquisition of the formerly independent country, the Act received 93% approval by voters on the […]
Joe Biden is Clearly Not the Best Option for Democrats in 2024. So, Who Should the Replacement Be?
Most political enthusiasts across the United States were rather intrigued to observe and analyze the first presidential debate of the 2024 U.S. election cycle. This enthusiasm was not necessarily because they expected an intellectually heavy, fierce, and energetic discussion. More likely, the excitement was related to the prospect of a rematch between current President Joe […]
