"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Motion to Oust House Speaker Johnson Over Spending Bill"

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson after lawmakers approved a $1.2 trillion spending package, which she opposed. Greene accused Johnson of handing over negotiating power to Democrats and breaking a conference rule. The motion, known as a motion to vacate, could lead to a vote to remove Johnson from his position.

The State of the Union responses have seen a downturn, with former President Gerald Ford likely disapproving, and Sen. Marco Rubio's repeated water-grabbing moment in his response.
