MTG Presents Johnson With List Of Four Demands

Politico reports:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has named her price for backing down on her threat to call a vote on Speaker Mike Johnson’s removal. In a nearly two-hour long meeting yesterday requested by Greene to explore potential off-ramps, the MAGA firebrand and allied Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) outlined several policy demands they are seeking before calling off their plans.

They include no further aid for Ukraine; a return to the “Hastert Rule,” meaning no legislation is brought to a vote without support from a majority of the House majority; defunding the special counsel probes into Trump in upcoming appropriations; and enforcement of the “Massie Rule,” whereby government funding is automatically cut across the board if no superseding agreement is reached before a set deadline.
