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.

        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.
