According to Punchbowl News on Friday, US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene requested to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from the House of Representatives as Congress considers a $1.2 trillion federal budget measure.

Greene submitted a petition to remove Johnson from his leadership position after Johnson supported the government funding measure over opposition from many House Republicans, according to the article, which cited numerous sources on the floor.

In an unprecedented move, the House of Representatives replaced Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy as speaker in October after he voted in favor of a continuing resolution to prevent the government shutdown.

House Speaker Johnson will invite Netanyahu to address Congress

On Thursday, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Mike Johnson announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be invited to address Congress.

In an interview with CNBC, Johnson expressed that the invitation will "certainly" be extended.

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has confirmed that he declined a request from Netanyahu to address lawmakers today.

“When you make these issues partisan, you hurt the cause of Israel,” Schumer told journalists.

This comes a week after he called for new Israeli elections, fiercely denouncing Netanyahu as an impediment to "peace".

Democrat Chuck Schumer, "Israel's" long-time backer and the highest-ranking Jewish political official elected, told the Senate last Thursday that Netanyahu's administration "no longer fits the needs of Israel" as the war rages on in Gaza.

At the time, Schumer claimed that "Israel" was a "democracy" and noted that settlers had a right to choose a leader but called for a "fresh debate about the future of Israel after October 7," which he believes is best accomplished via elections.

Netanyahu in a CNN interview called Schumer's speech "totally inappropriate", saying "Israel" was not a "banana republic."

This is occurring as the genocidal war in Gaza led by "Israel" persists, resulting in the killing of 31,988 Palestinians in less than six months.
