Marjorie Taylor Greene's crusade fails to dislodge Johnson as House speaker
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) For weeks, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene promised that if the House approved a package of military aid for Ukraine, she would rally fellow Republicans to get rid of House Speaker Mike Johnson.
But as $95 billion in aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan was receiving strong bipartisan support Tuesday in the Senate, the congresswoman from Rome had little to show for her attacks on GOP leaders, even as she continued her calls for Johnsons resignation.

As senators returned Tuesday to vote on the aid bills, it was obvious just how isolated Greene is inside her own party
Shes a total waste of time, U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told CNN, as GOP senators stood by the House speakers decision to allow a vote on aid for Ukraine.
