It’s ridiculous political grandstanding.   Hi team — MAGA Republicans in Congress are pushing an extremist agenda and are increasingly emboldened to take radical partisan action. The examples are everywhere. Radical Republicans used the National Defense Authorization Act to restric…

Elise Stefanik’s fundraising tactics
