A motion to vacate has been filed against Speaker Mike Johnson, two lawmakers said, roughly four months after he took the gavel when the first House leader was deposed.

A GOP lawmaker on the House floor told Fox News Digital that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., filed the motion, and that she would speak after the vote series was over.

Let's hope that Fox News and Marge aren't lying again.

Her motion is not privileged unlike Getz motion against McCarthy, does not force voting and besides the House will be on recess for two weeks. So this looks like headline grabbing by the obnoxious trailer trash in the House.

True enough, but illustrative of the dysfunction of the House. The FreeDumb CockUs clowns think governing involves only shitposting on Twitter, spewing nonsense to Hannity and threatening to shut down government even though they have only 10% of one house of Congress. Meanwhile:

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) announced Friday he will resign effective April 19, leaving the slim House GOP majority with a one-vote margin that will make it even harder to pass legislation.

I'm hearing that MTGs threat has prompted the Dems to assure Johnson that he'll have the support he needs to stay speaker, from them. All he has to do is let votes happen on Ukraine and Isreal aid bills. He should take this deal!
