Moving on to the White House, the Biden-Harris administration has reportedly implemented over 500 ‘DEI actions’ across the government, focusing on issues of identity politics. Additionally, concerns have been raised about faulty border cameras, with a top House committee issuing subpoenas to the Biden administration for documents, citing national security threats.
