A Democratic lawmaker – and former U.S. Army Ranger – pushed back strongly against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's claim that only Republicans stayed in the House chamber Jan. 6 to defend against rioters.

The Georgia Republican will publish a new book, MTG, next week, and The Guardian obtained a copy and published excerpts showing Greene claims Democrats were "hysterical" and fled the chamber after rioters – whom she has defended as "political prisoners" after their arrests – breached the U.S. Capitol.

GOPers blast Mike Johnson’s 'status quo' spending plan with days left until shutdown

Despite being elected via a unanimous vote from his Republican colleagues, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) does not have enough support to pass his government funding plan without Democratic backing.

ABC News reports that Johnson is proposing a "laddered" solution to avoid a government shutdown, which would happen at the end of the week if President Joe Biden doesn't have an appropriations package to sign into law. Under Johnson's plan, there would be two new, separate funding deadlines for Congress to meet — one on January 19 and one on February 2 — with current funding levels for all agencies maintained in the meantime.

Donald Trump recently held a rally in Florida at which he name-checked one of his most loyal supporters. Now, that Trump activist is relentlessly attacking one of his allies, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Marjorie Taylor Greene snaps at Speaker Johnson for crushing her impeachment dreams

On Saturday afternoon, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) raged at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for pouring cold water on ramping up the impeachment of President Joe Biden.

The newly elected Speaker already has his hands full working out an acceptable budget proposal with his caucus as a government shutdown looms and, in comments made this week, he stated he hasn't seen enough solid evidence to proceed with an impeachment.
