The US government shutdown extended into its 20th day on Monday with no resolution in sight, as a prominent Republican lawmaker publicly broke ranks with party leadership over the decision of Mike Johnson, the House speaker, to keep Congress shuttered for weeks.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a representative of Georgia, on Monday morning criticized Johnson’s strategy, calling on the House to return to session immediately.

“The House should be in session working,” Greene wrote on X. “We should be finishing appropriations. Our committees should be working. We should be passing bills that make President Trump’s executive orders permanent. I have no respect for the decision to refuse to work.”

We should be passing bills that make President Trump’s executive orders permanent.

It's not like she suddenly woke up sane or anything.

    When they make up random shit and say "nuh ah, it's permanent, you can't undo it at all, ever, for all eternity" and expect that to stick to a society ready to revolt and completely overthrow the current government.
