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.

    In your defense, the Jewish space lasers is still an astoundingly stupid idea. It’s just that Israel’s current right-wing government seems to have been smoking whatever it is that made Marge the way she is.

      250 years from now scientist, anthropologists will figure out that it was something in the air. Something like a mushroom spore, except, instead of making us hideous and monster like on the outside, it did it on the inside. But it only affected a certain group of people henceforth referred to as the GOP and its caucus.

      The infection is getting worse.
