    Here we go again, MTG wants Johnson out, because he let a government funding bill go to the House floor for a vote.

    Greene and other hardline conservatives had expressed anger with Johnson's handling of the six remaining appropriations bills for fiscal year 2024. The package of those bills – totaling $1.2 trillion – passed the House Friday morning with more Democratic support than Republican support. It now heads to the Senate. Working with Democrats to avoid a shutdown is also what triggered the push to oust then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year.

    This has Trump's fingerprints all over it, as he has publicly stated that the House should let the government shut down. His puppet acted. The Republican Party - splintered again - imagine that.

    9-21-2023 Trump, who led the longest government shutdown in US history, calls on Republicans to let it happen again in 9 days so they can 'defund these political prosecutions against me'
