Johnson has served as speaker of the House for five months. It wasn't immediately clear how the House would respond to the motion.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

    I still think it’s funny. It might be even better now, because based on Israel’s current record if Israel has control over it then they sure as hell would be using it about now.

        Sure, but we’d never find anything funny if every time people suffered we had to stop. MTG has almost nothing to do with that and laughing at her makes me feel better, so I’ll keep laughing.

        I feel for those people too, and so many others, but I can’t handle thinking about that constantly for my entire life. There’s always something we should feel for.
