The Texas Democrat rolled out a tongue-in-cheek game called “Trump or Trans” during a session of the Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee, aiming to redirect attention from what she called the GOP’s “anti-trans agenda” to what she sees as real government dysfunction. “This hearing is not about enhancing the efficiency of government,” Crockett said. “It serves as yet another diversion by Republicans from their harmful and disastrous policies…
