Marjorie Taylor Greene may be resigning from Congress next month, but she's weighing one last act of defiance: a longshot bid to topple Mike Johnson.
In recent days, she has been working behind the scenes to gauge whether there's support for a motion to vacate the chair.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Federal Judge Has No Interest In Taking Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Seriously
The Trump administration cited Kavanaugh’s infamous concurrence to justify its immigration arrests. Judge Beryl Howell was having none of it.

Few Republicans thought they had much to worry about in June when Rep. Mark Green unexpectedly announced his resignation from Tennessee's conservative 7th Congressional District. Six months and millions of dollars later, the GOP is sweating a seat they should otherwise have no trouble holding.
