This is great news since it officially establishes that Johnson has a dependency on Democrats now. Which gives Dems more leverage because if Johnson refuses to cooperate on something in the future than Dems could bring a motion to vacate the chair.
Yeah, I was frustrated with Greene saying “Democrats saved him,” because with the infinitesimal majority they have, it would be the Democrats who ousted him if they voted the other way. Republicans basically have no agency in their choice of Speaker anymore, thanks largely to the chaos and dysfunction caused by her faction.
It also shows how toothless the extreme MAGA side is. Democrats and moderate Republicans made bipartisan deals to get aid passed and this troglodyte can’t abide compromise. She genuinely thinks compromise is evil.

I think you’re giving her too much credit. She just wants chaos and attention.
Correct. She must be fuming because she thought she had that kind of power - and she doesn’t.
I have a small sliver of suspicion that many Democrats voted to help Johnson in order to put her in her place.
I know as a rule of thumb anything Marjorie is for I am most likely against.
Broken clocks, aside.
Wake up, babe. New voting coalition just dropped.
