The US House just passed another $1.2 trillion spending bill stuff with pork and earmarks that we cannot afford.
This spending bill keeps the border wide open and even funds all of the benefits to the illegal fake refugees.
Speaker Johnson is useless. Vacate the Chair.

BREAKING: MTG has just filed a motion to vacate Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. Conservatives are raging against the $1.2 trillion spending bill. Speaker Johnson took over the gavel in October after a three week battle and has been working with a mere two vote majority.

MTG on uniparty minibus: “This will be the fall of Mike Johnson for allowing this bill to happen and not fighting and defending our Southern border”

Just asked JEFFRIES about the MTG motion to vacate: “She’s a joke,” he told me.

MTG files a resolution with House parliamentarian as she dangles threat to oust Mike Johnson from the speakership. She would have to be recognized to try to vacate the speakership and House would have to take action in two legislative days. House is slated to recess after this…

Remember on motion to vacate: MTG has to go to a mic and call up the resolution. Then the leadership can delay the vote for two legislative days. That would put this until after recess, two+ weeks from now. t.co/xJUEnSVdnd

Just a reminder:
The House is voting now on the $1.2T spending bill to fund the government.

Reality: In a two seat majority House, conservatives will not win anything. It sucks. But win elections and stop nominating shitty Trump leg-humpers who cannot win their districts.

JOHNSON SPOX RAJ SHAH stmt re. MTV: “Speaker Johnson always listens to the concerns of members, but is focused on governing. He will continue to push conservative legislation that secures our border, strengthens our national defense and demonstrates how we’ll grow our majority.”

MTG filed a motion to vacate the Speaker – currently not privileged which means it is a threat only in its current form.

Honestly, I’m kind of happy about this stuff now. Every time the GOP pulls this, I get less and less emotionally invested in November.
Just get the fiscal collapse here while I’m still of a working age and let’s get the party started. t.co/EGBF2MKTrZ

Marjorie Taylor Greene launches bid to REMOVE Speaker Mike Johnson from office as she files motion to vacate in fury over forcing vote on massive $1.2trillion funding bill

House passes $1.2 TRILLION funding bill: Democrats help Speaker Mike Johnson survive uprising from furious conservatives who called package ‘garbage‘ – bill now heads to Senate with 12 hours until shutdown deadline
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13202089/mike-johnson-funding-deal-approved-house.html
On Friday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to formally boot Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) from the office, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Greene’s move, which came amid conservative outrage over Johnson’s deal on a spending deal to avert a government shutdown, threatens to throw the chamber into chaos just months after a hard-right faction ousted Kevin McCarthy from the top job.
In October of last year, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) filed the motion to vacate McCarthy as privileged, resulting in his ouster.
Conservatives are upset with Johnson for a litany of reasons but their anger has centered on spending bills. Johnson agreed to a deal with Democrats to keep the government open ahead of a shutdown this weekend; hardliners saw it as another capitulation to Democrats and a failure to fight for right-wing priorities.
