Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has filed a motion to remove Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from power over his endorsement of a bipartisan spending deal that’s expected to pass through Congress …
Well she filed the motion to vacate. Iirc that’s the first step in the process; and they may not advance to the next step. Either way, she’s throwing a hissy fit because 9 republicans don’t actually qualify as a majority and she sucks at math.
I assume it’s only a matter of time before he’s gone.
Basically, the only question I have is will the dems vote against Johnson again?
A more appropriate headline would be “a motion to consider ousting Speaker Johnson.”
She’s grandstanding. She could have kicked off a vote, but she did not.

Depends. If they’re doing it for giving aid to Ukraine, and keeping the government up, I’d be for keeping Johnson. Until he’s no longer useful.
Which the real question is how many more republicans resign?
If they have enough jump ship, that the can get a reasonable majority …. They absolutely will.
