WHAT in Heaven's name is Mikey Boy Doing? Did he flip parties ? WHY is there NO FIGHT or denial of this outrageous spending ?????

Time for Mikey to go....... and the rest of those sorry people to either be a fiscally responsible person or resign their seat and go back home...

MTG Files Motion to Strip Gavel from Mike Johnson

by Bradley Jaye
Breitbart.com



Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion Friday that could force a vote to strip the gavel from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

The motion is not privileged, which means the House will not immediately hold a vote on the motion. The procedural motion is the same one Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) used in October 2023 to end Kevin McCarthy’s speakership after only nine months.

Greene filed the motion shortly before the House voted on a $1.2 trillion minibus spending bill. That 1,000-plus page legislation was released in the 2:00 a.m. ET hour Thursday morning, but Speaker Johnson held the vote Friday morning, violating rules intended to give lawmakers adequate time to review legislation.

Significantly, Johnson violated the Hastert Rule to pass the spending bill. That rule dictates that a Republican Speaker cannot pass legislation without the support of the majority of the House Republican Conference. Yet only 101 Republicans voted for the bill, with 112 voting in opposition.

Greene can change her resolution to privileged, which would force the House to address it. But with the spending bill passed, the House began a two-week Easter recess. When the House reconvenes, questions about Johnson’s future will be louder than ever.
