101 - The U.S. Representative to the United Nations

ise Stefanik, once considered for United States Representative to the United Nations, has made headlines in recent days for sharp clashes within her own Republican party. According to The Hill, Stefanik accused House Speaker Mike Johnson of torpedoing the Republican agenda by blocking her provision in the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act. This measure would require congressional notification for counterintelligence investigations into federal candidates, aimed at preventing what she calls deep state weaponization against elections. Stefanik declared on social media that she would vote no on the bill unless the provision returns, stating it is the only one to root out deep state rot. Johnson denied involvement, saying the provision needs agreement from House and Senate committee leaders and that he supports it, but Stefanik fired back calling his response lies and siding with Democrat Jamie Raskin.Tensions lingered as Johnson met with Stefanik on Wednesday, per AOL reports, amid ongoing friction from her earlier withdrawn United Nations ambassador nomination by President Trump in March 2025. Stefanik, who gave up key House roles for that bid, now chairs House Republican Leadership and serves on the Intelligence Committee.She also voiced strong support for the Trump administrations recent capture of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro. CBS6 Albany reports Stefanik posted backing the mission, described by Republicans like Speaker Johnson as a justified law enforcement operation to demand regime behavior change, not a full regime shift. This contrasts with Democrats like Chuck Schumer, who raised more questions.These developments highlight Stefanik's aggressive push on intelligence reforms and foreign policy alignment, even as her career navigates party infighting after opting out of New York governor and House races.Thank you for tuning in, listeners.
