Max Schwartzman, FL - Editor-in-Chief A recent column in the GW Hatchet  argued that the administration and leadership of George Washington University should “fact-check” and monitor speakers who are invited to campus by students. The proposal, as written in the article, is framed as a call for responsibility and for maintaining civility and credibility in campus dialogue. But beneath the veneer of care for students, this amounts to a call for an indirect, institutional censo

On February 24th, 2022, just over four years ago, Putin’s Russia launched its brutal war against Ukraine. An aggressive war not just against the innocent people of Ukraine, but also against the West itself.  ​ Commemorating this grim anniversary, I had the opportunity to attend a protest on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial alongside hundreds of others standing in support of our br

Voters across the political spectrum are abandoning traditional parties in droves and searching for alternatives that go against the norm. ​ On the left, the previously obscure, hyper-socialist Green Party defeated Labour in Manchester last month, in a seat once considered a Labour stronghold.

Raj Bishnoi, TX - Writer Flyer for the GWCRs Gala. This year, the GW College Republicans (GWCRs) have been hosting events across the board to make this year one of the most active in the organization’s history. From Congressmen to Secretaries, the GWCRs have provided a space for speakers to reach the often marginalized conservative youth of D.C. ​ ​As a very successful year comes to a gradual close, GWCRS will host a gala to support the club and its efforts to bring more topi

GW Campus Republicans hosted a watch party with food and drinks provided. The President defended his domestic agenda and urged Congress to pass his legislation. Trump called for passing the “Stop Insider Trading Act” while calling  Nancy Pelosi  out by name. He called for the passi

Ben Tumulty, Foreign Correspondent Ireland  In an administration defined by blunt force and unapologetic realism, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has emerged as something rarer: a disciplined, strategic operator whose ability to turn his hand to all things foreign policy has turned him into President Trump’s right-hand man.   Once dismissed by critics as a polished talker or an “establishment conservative,” Rubio has, by 2026, become one of the most consequential figures of th

Nathaniel Thomas, NY - Writer Screenshot of email sent to students by D'ana Downing This past Feb. 18 was a solemn and sacred day for billions of Christians, especially Catholics, at GW and around the world, as it marked Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the holy season of Lent. However, for the GW Center for Interfaith and Spiritual Life, Ash Wednesday was apparently a day to attack Christianity while wearing it as a costume. ​ Thurston Hall residents received an email simply

Juliet Procope, DE - Editor & Director of Marketing The Supreme Court is currently set to decide whether states can require athletes to compete in competition based on biological sex by this June, a ruling that will reshape school sports policies nationwide and could potentially redefine the balance between federal law and state authority.  The Court is reviewing two closely watched cases, West Virginia v.
