It’s time to check the president

In today’s age of polarization, the executive branch has essentially unchecked control of the government. Legislators of the president’s party currently exist to rubber-stamp his appointments and initiatives. Even under the best of conditions, whenever Congress passes a law, the responsibility of implementing that legislation ultimately falls to the agencies…

Democracy at all costs

This isn’t a time for moderation. After four years of terror, we finally have the chance to replace the devil in the White House with someone willing to put the interests of the country over his own personal enrichment. The problem is that Joe Biden looks ready to put bipartisanship…

Choosing to Love over Hate

This has been a very hard week in what was already a very hard year. We watched with horror hundreds of thousands of people die worldwide from an invisible disease, only to see an unarmed black man killed in a very visible act of police brutality. This wasn’t the first…

Thoughtrepreneurs: The Poison of the Student Startup Scene

What I’m about to say isn’t new. I’m not a thought leader, a visionary, or an original thinker. None of my ideas are innovative. In fact, that’s the whole point of this article. I came to Penn because of my love for startups and my dreams of becoming an entrepreneur…
