Rep. Stefanik is among "a cohort of young Republican leaders who seem far more concerned with owning the libs on social media than with proposing conservative solutions to issues that matter to young people," writes Charlotte Alter.

In her letter to the IRS, Rep. Stefanik incorrectly describes the NCPR email system as taxpayer-funded (we're part of a private university), incorrectly IDs retired news director Martha Foley as Ms. Murphy, and incorrectly IDs NCPR as NPR. We pay for NPR programs, we are not NPR.
