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 […]
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 […]
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.

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.

In the 1996 presidential election, Bill Clinton won West Virginia by nearly 15 points. In 2008, current U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat, won the gubernatorial election […]
There is no question that Ann Arbor is a generally thriving city with countless positive attributes – a thriving social scene, gorgeous parks and landscaping, and a strong economy anchored by one of the most prestigious public universities in the United States. Unfortunately, like all cities, Ann Arbor also has several significant flaws behind its […]
In Ann Arbor, it can be all too easy to forget the wider state and region we inhabit as students at the University of Michigan. It is affluent, educated, and diverse — at least ethnically, racially, and sexually. If it were not for the typically midwestern weather, you could be forgiven for mistaking Ann Arbor, […]
With the explosion of online social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, there has been a near-parallel explosion in online mass consumerism. When Facebook saw an explosion in popularity, the social media platform implemented “Facebook Marketplace,” which served as a significant digital marketplace where consumers would have the opportunity to splurge on relatively […]
The former UN ambassador discussed fiscal responsibility, national security, and electability.
