Any allegations that Greene is transparently working as a Russian agent are entirely unsubstantiated.

I’ll be curious if the democrats step in. Johnson did the right thing getting the bill passed, but he’s still a garbage human being and a terrible leader.

I thought I saw a headline last night that the democrats in the house said they would vote to table any effort to remove Johnson.

He is terrible, but he's better than any replacement, he's shown a willingness to work with Dems, and most importantly, if he ever breaks any promises, the Dems can sick him to the wolves.

Who could they possibly replace him with who wouldn’t also be a dumpster fire?

Article I read a couple of days ago said they will. But who knows? There's no love lost between the parties.

It is pragmatic to keep the House from being without a speaker, and he hasn't broken a deal yet. They are trying to keep the House functioning somewhat by tabling a vote, but if it came to a vote for a new speaker all the Dems will most likely vote Jeffries again.
