WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

I can't wait for 37 more ballots of Hakeem Jeffries almost winning.

Needs exactly four Republicans House Reps to do what I could only describe as the funniest thing ever.

There's now two more early resignations in the pipeline. On April 20, it will be down to only two R's needed to defect.
