It’s been 150 days since he was elected Speaker.

  • This motion is not an immediate threat.

    The way it was filed lets them bury it in committee, this was only a MAGA warning shot.

    As much as I enjoy them tearing themselves up too

    The fact that this troll still gets headlines shows how stupid America is … it doesn’t show how dumb she is, that was determined a long time ago.

    The fact that she represents American government in any capacity shows the world the general mentality of the US.

      She is a Representative of Georgia’s 14th congressional district, which is a mainly rural district northwest of Atlanta. She shows the world the general mentality of Georgia’s 14th congressional district.

      Oh she just wants their unlimited funding and propaganda support. She doesn’t actually want to live there. That would require believing in something. So.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker Mike Johnson is at risk of being ousted after hard-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to vacate on Friday in the middle of a House vote on a $1.2 trillion package to keep the government open.

    It’s the same political dynamic that removed the last Republican speaker, Kevin McCarthy, just five months ago when far-right conservatives revolted over his compromise with Democrats to prevent a federal shutdown.

    The House is scheduled to leave town for a two-week spring recess at the end of Friday’s session, and it’s doubtful any vote on removing Johnson, of Louisiana, would be imminent.

    Yet even the threat of removal, the ultimate punishment for a speaker, will hang over Johnson’s young speakership, just months on the job — particularly as he turns next to passing funding to support Ukraine that far-right Republicans oppose.

    The Georgia congresswoman spoke vehemently against House passage of the government funding bill, and she has warned she would try to remove the speaker if he pushes ahead with a package to support Ukraine as it battles Russia’s invasion.

    Still, many Republicans in Congress were embarrassed by McCarthy’s removal as speaker, which exposed deep party divisions and infighting that left their new majority, in office since January, unable to fully function on priorities.
