Georgia's top conspiracist is at it again. Marjorie Taylor Greene, best known for her expertise on Jewish space lasers, has a theory on what caused Speaker Mike Johnson's sudden transformation from a pious Christian to a radical liberal: he's being blackmailed. — Read the rest
After a long week of bitter infighting among House Republicans — with the rabid Marjorie Taylor Greene nipping at Speaker Mike Johnson's heels — Johnson flew to Mar-a-Lago today to hide behind Donald Trump. And amusingly, after the speaker and Trump met in private, Trump played the part of peacemaker. — Read the rest
As the last guitar tones of “Strange Days Are Here to Stay” rang out at the Fillmore Auditorium, Billie Joe Armstrong took the microphone in his hand. “This one goes out to all you weird motherf—ing QAnon motherf—ers out there,” he said. Then Green Day launched into the next track — “Living in the '20s” — a hard-edged number that ended on the screamed refrain, “Ain’t that a kick in the head? Ain’t that a kick in the head?” It’s been more than 30 years since the band released their landmark...
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene welcomed Republicans back to work Tuesday with a five-page broadside attack on Speaker Mike Johnson, making sure everyone knows that she’s serious about her threat to try to oust him.

When Rep. Matt Gaetz decided in the fall that it was time to try to oust then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the process unfolded rather quickly. On Monday, Oct. 2, the Florida Republican took the procedural step, filing what’s known as a motion to vacate the chair. On Tuesday, Oct. 3 — less than 24 hours after the motion was filed — McCarthy lost his gavel. Months later, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is eager to bring down McCarthy’s successor, though the process is proving to be vastly different....
It sure looks like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t bluffing. The MAGA firebrand from Georgia released a furious five-page letter Tuesday detailing why she filed a motion in March to oust Rep. Mike Johnson from his position as House speaker. At the time, she had described the filing as a “warning.” Her letter marks a new escalation. Capitol Hill observers see her missive as a serious threat to put Johnson’s speakership to a vote. At this point, it appears that if Johnson goes ahead in the...
