Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) earned the endorsement of House Democrat Leadership Tuesday. He will need to cash in on that endorsement only days later.
Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced to a packed press conference outside the Capitol Wednesday that they would force a vote on Greene’s motion to vacate “next week.”
With the Capitol dome behind them, Greene and Massie accused Johnson of “three betrayals” on government funding, allowing surveillance of American citizens, and funding Ukraine without first securing the border.
The move has long been expected, but Wednesday’s escalation makes clear Johnson’s perilous path toward maintaining his gavel — if not in the short term, certainly beyond November.
“This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country,” read a short Johnson statement issued after the announcement and a day after Johnson accused Greene of not being a serious lawmaker.
After Greene filed her motion, Johnson proceeded to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) after casting the deciding vote to kill the warrant requirement and then folded on Ukraine funding.
“Now we have Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats coming out, embracing Mike Johnson with a warm hug and a big wet sloppy kiss,” Greene said, arguing Democrats endorsed Johnson “because Mike Johnson is giving them everything they want. Everything. Every single thing.”

So the dead-on-arrival impeachment of Biden and Hunter’s vanity hearing willbe cancelled?
If you haven’t noticed, the dems are controlling the House even with Mike in Nancy’s chair.
No, I think she has the hots for Kevin McCarthy. Remember how she sided with him? Now he’s trying to get revenge on republicans and I think MTG is trying to help him.
She has chosen McCarthy over Trump.
Or maybe she was threatened into doing what the Deep State wanted, both times. To try to keep McCarthy back then, and to stir the nest now when the R majority is really, really close to being lost.
The Deep State is real. If they really wanted to get the R’s demoralized and engaged in friendly fire the easiest way to do it would be to have somebody get the trust of the conservatives and then betray them, and then get a trusted person to stir the pot claiming that the people involved are the problem rather than focusing on the real source of the problem: the Deep State with its sticks and carrots.
The Media immediately goes into covering for Johnson, and prohibits criticism of him on the airwaves.
Thats all I need to see.
Come on people. The only reason we’re at this point is that republicans refuse to lead. Don’t blame her.
Insanity means doing the same thing and expecting different results.
I’m not blaming her. I’m blaming the Deep State. And I think there is quite a bit of evidence that they use sticks and carrots to manipulate people.
Doesn’t matter whether you start out with prime rib; you put it through a meat grinder and you get hamburger. Every time. You want prime rib? Get rid of the meat grinder.
Maybe Gaetz can talk some sense into her.
******************************************************
Where is Gaetz? I don’t see him in the headlines these days.
So what do you think will happen when Jeffries takes over and he replaces everybody on the committees?
They want to distract us from the most important election in world history next November.
If we don't completely overwhelm them in November, nothing will ever matter again.
Of course they do. They are the Deep State.
They know that conservatives will reflexively recoil and there will be a massive circular firing squad.
Exactly what they need, to suppress conservative voters and demoralize everybody, right at the time when we are the closest we’ve ever been to actually bringing charges against Deep State operatives. We have the evidence that Jordan, Comer, Laudenbach, and Higgins are documenting - and much, much more that they can document even beyond what they’ve done so far - and just need to get Trump in office with R majorities and a decent AG, and then we can actually get those bastards, for the first time ever!!
The Deep State wants you to react reflexively and emotionally. They do NOT want you to think strategically and sober-mindedly.
I don’t know. Hopefully he is privately talking with MTG.
Yep.
Joe Biden has received Republican assistance to do every single thing in his Administration. Johnny on the Spot.
And then Magic Johnson thinks he’ll tell the Republican base, it’s a loan, when they wrote in the script for Biden to cancel / forgive the loan in Fall / Winter.
That stinks so bad. It REALLY makes me want to get rid of the Deep State. They think we’re idiots.
So MTG, who is going to replace Johnson?
YOU?
It was sooooo easy last time. Lets do that AGAIN! NOT!
This move is just STUPID!

Revenge is sweet for about half a second, then the unintended consequences start rolling in.
Amen. Johnson is a turncoat.
She’s a bloody whack job. Great time to pull this crap you moron.
Does she and her allies have a viable replacement in mind?
Will Johnson survive with Democrat votes? That'll be embarrassing.
Jonson needs to go, make it happen immediately.
Good thinking. This is a risky move.
With the GOP voting to repeal the First Amendment today, in an act of pure Treason, I don’t care if the whore Johnson is removed or not. The GOP and fake conservative grifters are now anti-American.
