WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.
Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.
Dems should make a deal with Johnson. They will throw him a few votes in exchange to allow Jeffries the ability to schedule votes. That way both parties decide what things to hold votes about.
No. Dems just need like 1 Republican to vote for Jeffries. At this point there may be enough Republicans furious with the extreme nut jobs to form a “not batshit crazy” coalition with the Dems.
when is someone putting this screaming gibbon back in her cage?
Republican house speakers have the life expectancy of a house fly thanks to the treason caucus.
Wouldn’t we only need one Republican defector now to have Democrats control the House?
I could be wrong, but I think it’s 3. With the Colorado guy quitting (to specifically fuck over Lauren Boebert), they’re at 218-213 I think.
Soon to be 217-213 (April 19) due to Gallagher announcement today. That will shorten it to 2 defectors to block any measure, but still require 3 to pass.
Ken Buck’s last day is today. So tomorrow, they will be at 218-213 with 4 vacancies.
I wonder how the GOP has any toes left after shooting themselves in the foot so often.
Gotta be a MTG toe joke in there somewhere.
“‘n this foot right here I call Ol’ Stumpy”
“Sir, that is your exposed femur.”
“Yeah, an’ that makes it a stump! I ain’t wrong.”
“You called it your foot!”
The U.S. watching Canadian news is just a sleeping dude.
We’re ok with boring. ;)
Ha! It’s so funny when they eat themselves alive.
I don’t think that legislation can move forward in a scenario where there isn’t a Speaker. That impacts everyone.
Just what legislation do you think the GOP is working on passing? The GOP being the majority is what impacts everyone.
Speaking in immediate terms, I’m kind of interested in the Ukraine aid bill.
you live laugh love to see it.
