In a matter of hours:

The Republican-led House passed the spending bill just before noon Friday and sent it to the Senate — with more than half the House GOP conference, including many furious hardliners, voting against it.


Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — one of those hardliners angry at Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for helping push the bill — introduced a motion to vacate the chair, calling for Johnson's removal. Her move threatens to trigger the same type of vote that ended the career of his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy.
Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), retiring chair of the House China Select Committee, announced suddenly he'll leave Congress next month — leaving Republicans with an astonishing majority of just one seat.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), who also is retiring early, departed for the final time — but not before signing a Democratic petition to force a vote on Ukraine aid, dealing one last blow to the GOP leadership he detested.
House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-Ky.) — who helped make impeaching President Biden one of the GOP majority's top priorities — indicated his fizzling inquiry will end without a vote.

"House Republicans have skipped town for Easter recess with their base enraged, their majority in tatters — and their speaker facing the prospect of a humiliating ouster at the hands of his own MAGA allies." Love it! 💕

Yes. I said it.

Babbling Baboon? Is that more appropriate?

8. I like Babbling Baboon!

But I think it sounds a little nicer than Howling Monkey, so it probably won't fit her!

She's gotten way out there ever since she was caught on a mic going at it with Boobert.
