Republican Policies and "Great Replacement Theory"
- 🏛️ The House Oversight Committee debated a bill to criminalize homelessness in Washington D.C., alongside proposed cuts to VA services, including staffing and healthcare.
- 🌍 A core argument is that certain factions aim to implement their oppressive religion and cultures, specifically referencing a fear of non-Christian laws and the "Great Replacement Theory."
