Marjorie Taylor Greene

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has been thrown out of the far-right House Freedom Caucus. But according to the Wall Street Journal, she is defiant — and even publicly saying it's a good thing for her.

“I think I enjoy being a free agent a lot better,” Greene told reporters, adding that while she agreed with the Freedom Caucus ideologically, she is “interested in getting accomplishments done, not doing things just to disrupt and fight leadership. And that’s a major difference.”

The three leading Democrats in the House said in a joint statement late Thursday that they will vote no on an annual military policy bill that typically passes with overwhelming bipartisan support, citing Republican amendments restricting abortion access for service members and barring the Pentagon from covering gender-affirming care.

"Extreme MAGA Republicans have chosen to hijack the historically bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act to continue attacking reproductive freedom and jamming their right-wing ideology down the throats of the American people," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) said following hours of votes on mostly Republican-authored amendments.

Two advocacy groups, Free Speech For People and Mi Familia Vota Education Fund, sent Griffin-Valade and top election officials in eight other states letters this week calling on them to disqualify Trump from running for federal office. Ben Morris, a spokesman for the Secretary of State’s office, confirmed that the office received the letter.

“The agency will review it, as we do all suggestions from the public, but we have no comment on their request at this time,” Morris said.

MSNBC host Chris Jansing took a swipe at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) Thursday for her recent removal from the House Freedom Caucus.

Speaking to both Capitol reporter Garrett Haake and former GOP Speaker aide Branden Buck, Jansing said that the feud hasn't yet made it to the celebrity gossip pages.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca.) plans to hold a fundraiser Wednesday in support of embattled Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Punchbowl News reports.

The news outlet reported on its Twitter page that the fundraiser is “a further sign of their growing alliance.”

The Republican Party has been under the wholesale control of former President Donald Trump for over six years now — and experts are worried about where it's headed.

Chauncey DeVega of Salon spoke to a number of political analysts, who gave their thoughts and fears about the next steps for the GOP as it lurches to the right and reorganizes around a cult of personality.

James Comer is heading the House GOP's effort to investigate the Biden administration as the chair of the House Oversight Committee. But according to The Daily Beast, he should face similar ethical questions following an about-face on the expansion of gambling in his state.

Comer has long-represented a conservative Christian swath of Kentucky that has been suspicious of gambling. He voted against the building of nine new casinos in the state back in 2008, rebuking the state's influential horse-racing industry. But when he won the race for Kentucky agriculture commissioner in 2011, it was done with the help of the CEO of the company that owns the legendary Kentucky Derby racetrack – who gave the candidate the maximum $2,000 contribution.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has made an unusual demand to a member of the House Freedom Caucus who wants to meet with her.

Earlier this month, Greene was ejected from the far-right group, but Chairman Scott Perry (R-PA) apparently wants to clear the air.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is facing down the prospect of yet another floor revolt from right-wing hardliners — and he's gathering leadership to try to figure out how to prevent it this time, reported POLITICO on Tuesday.

"With the House back for a final stretch before its August recess, McCarthy on Tuesday afternoon summoned a group of leaders from multiple corners of his conference to shape a strategy for staving off further right-wing revolts — which his team can’t afford this summer," reported Sarah Ferris and Jordain Carney.
