House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to end a month-long stalemate around foreign aid packages as calls grow for him to resign. This week, he announced the House would vote separately on aid for Israel and Ukraine. The latter has received major pushback from the Republican Party.

The strategy was met with severe criticism from his colleagues, including Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, who joined Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to unseat Speaker Johnson.

    It always makes me very curious when I see a person in congress speak and has a house of representatine flag behind them. The flag always positioned so there is a face with one eye . This to me is no coincident . To me it seems to have a hidden message .

    The US shouldn’t be supporting any foreign aid while being 33 trillion in debt

    FISA re-authorization, no border bill, foreign aid, and not taking care of the downtrodden here. That’s MAGAs issue with Johnson
