Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation announcement sent a shock through her northwest Georgia district... “It took me watching her resignation video for about 5 minutes to realize that it was not an AI-generated video — that’s how shocking it was for me,” said Ricky Hess, chairman of the Paulding County Republican Party... The ruby-red slice of Georgia spans a dozen counties, where a strong majority of voters were loyal both to Trump and Greene... “We wanted Marjorie to be Marjorie. We appreciate her,” said David Guldenschuh, a local Republican stalwart and lawyer who hosts a political radio show on WLAQ-AM...

President Donald Trump is delaying a planned announcement of a proposal to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, according to two White House officials, after congressional Republicans pushed back against the president’s sudden embrace of the expiring subsidies. Trump was expected to unveil a plan aimed at halting ACA premium spikes on Monday, as first reported by MS NOW. But the reveal has been postponed — though not canceled — said the White House officials, who were granted anonymity to discuss the internal strategy. Both White House officials noted that Trump’s announcement — which was never officially on the schedule —...

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) that she will resign from Congress in January, characterizing the decision as a positive development and signaling no intention to repair their strained relationship.In a phone conversation with ABC’s Senior Political Correspondent Abby Scott, President Trump responded to news of Rep.

https://babylonbee.com/news/average-iq-in-congress-expected-to-rise-7000-points-after-mtg-resignsWASHINGTON, D.C. — With Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announcing her resignation in January, the average IQ in Congress is expected to rise about 7,000 points. Though the new average will be in the low 40s, the score will be substantially higher than the current mark of -6,940. "It's a big step up," explained Congressional aide Tim Buckley. "The mean IQ of a Congressman will still be roughly that of a baked potato, but we'll take it. She's been really dragging us down." Though the IQ test was not supposed to have the possibility of a negative score, Greene has gone...

President Donald Trump once again called Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene a "traitor" on Saturday as he reacted to her resignation announcement, adding that she "went BAD" after he "refused to return her never ending barrage of phone calls." In a Saturday morning post on Truth Social, Trump said, "Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, because of PLUMMETING Poll Numbers, and not wanting to face a Primary Challenger with a strong Trump Endorsement (where she would have no chance of winning!), has decided to call it ‘quits.’" "Her relationship with the WORST Republican Congressman in decades, Tom Massie of Kentucky, also known as Rand...

Marjorie Taylor Greene's abrupt decision to resign from Congress is drawing scrutiny after it emerged that her chosen departure date falls just two days after her federal pension becomes fully vested. The timing places the 51-year-old Georgia Republican past the five-year service threshold required for lawmakers to qualify for lifetime pension benefits under federal rules. Greene announced Friday that she is leaving Congress and will step down on January 5, 2026.

After months of scurrilous accusations and gloating over how the Epstein case would bring about his end, President Trump agreed to sign the Congressional resolution authorizing the release of all the Epstein files in the government's possession. The results were not those Democrats had hoped for. Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's under-aged, sexually exploited victims, turned out to be a big fan of Donald Trump. In her book "Nobody's Girl" Giuffre had only positive things to say about him. She said Trump was not involved in Epstein's sex-trafficking network, was kind to her, never treated her inappropriately, and would...

The outspoken Republican, who has been at odds with her party and President Donald Trump in recent weeks, made the announcement on Friday night, expressing her frustration with the national debt and the recent government shutdown. "I ran for Congress in 2020 and have fought every single day believing that Make America Great Again meant America First," she wrote in a letter she made public Friday evening.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a loyal supporter-turned-critic of President Donald Trump who faced his political retribution if she sought reelection, said Friday she is resigning from Congress in January. Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online, explained her decision and said she didn’t want her congressional district “to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for,” she said. The opening in her district means Republican Gov. Brian Kemp will have to set a special election date within 10 days of Greene’s resignation. Such a...

Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she is stepping down from Congress on Jan 5, 2026

The House vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files was, in the end, 427-1. That’s a margin typically reserved for proclamations and post office namings, not for what was perhaps the biggest defeat of President Donald Trump’s second term, a fight that GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene declared on Tuesday had “ripped MAGA apart.” A group of Epstein’s survivors, sitting together in one section of the House gallery, applauded. Democrats applauded. Some Republicans applauded. No one seemed to say much to Rep. Ro Khanna as he stood in the center of the floor, toward the front, chitchatting with colleagues. When...

Today’s Republican Party is big on manliness and masculine virtues. The MAGA right in particular is forever obsessing over who is the biggest, the strongest, the most fearless among them.This is why, watching President Trump’s fight to keep a lid on the Epstein files, I have been struck, delighted even, that among the vanishingly few Republican lawmakers with the courage to defy him have been three fire-breathing congresswomen: Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina.Love ’em or hate ’em, these House troublemakers bucked their party leadership, stared down their president and made...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the once steadfast ally of Donald Trump who has since fallen out with the president, said the saga around convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has “ripped MAGA apart.” Greene made her comments while flanked by some of Epstein’s victims outside the Capitol on Tuesday, just hours before the House is set to vote on a bill that would force the Justice Department to release Epstein case files.

"I'm not controversial, so I like it that way." — President Donald Trump. Isn’t it obvious what’s at the heart of this Jeffrey Epstein psychodrama? The country is sick unto near-death with official secrecy, cover-ups, black ops, stonewalling, and never-ending games of political hide-the-salami — especially when those salamis are directed up the Republic’s own rear end. The worst victim of sexual abuse is America herself. Can’t somebody please make it stop? And so, over the weekend, psychodrama devolved to soap opera as President Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene acted-out their lovers’ quarrel on every public channel of news...

Her story, once dressed as a crusade against elite corruption, has revealed itself as the ascent of a self-serving charlatan whose loyalties shifted the moment her ambitions stalled. What followed was not principled dissent. It was a strategic rebellion from someone who realized that Trump’s second term would not revolve around her. One truth stands out: this rift was inevitable. Trump’s disavowal does not fracture populism; it fortifies it. Movements rooted in loyalty, discipline, and authentic concern for working people cannot depend on performers who mistake attention for integrity.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Sunday publicly questioned whether Israel or another country is pressuring President Trump to conceal the files on late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. “I think it’s a question that many Americans are asking, especially when we saw information recently come out in these emails that the Oversight Committee that I serve on has released, and we saw Jeffrey Epstein with ties to Ehud Barak,” Greene told CNN of her X post. “…Was Jeffrey Epstein working for Israel? And I’m proud to say I don’t take money from AIPAC. I don’t take money from any special group...

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will stop using “toxic” rhetoric, marking what would be a dramatic shift in a political brand hallmarked by derogatory comments. “I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country,” Greene said. “It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.” Greene said she realized that she has participated in or supported heated rhetoric that has resulted in threats toward others, a point of reflection for her. “I’m only responsible for myself and my own words...

I can only speak for myself, but as a Christian, forgiveness is a major part of my faith. I’m here to show how it’s possible to settle our differences and move forward as Americans. That’s why I’m always willing to go on shows with different viewpoints. I truly believe in forgiveness and I am open to moving forward with the President.
