Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from Congress in January.
And on her way out, she's been burning some bridges with President Trump, of course, but also with Speaker Mike Johnson.
MTG is reportedly plotting a long shot effort to remove Johnson from the speakership.
She accuses him of, among other things, not having a plan to deal with a coming health care crisis.
Millions of Americans are going to see their insurance premiums rise in the next few weeks as a result of the big, beautiful bill.
Johnson says he does have a plan.
But the health care subsidies will almost certainly expire this year.
Coming up on today explained why some GOP women are turning on the speaker.
I'm Noelle King, and the most comprehensive reporting that we've seen on Mike Johnson versus the ladies of the GOP came from Melanie Zanona.
Melanie is a congressional correspondent at NBC.
It seems possible that some of Mike Johnson's comments in the past have opened him up to some of the criticism from his Republican women colleagues.
What are Mike Johnson's views on women and are they mainstream?
One of the less sympathetic responses I've seen to the Republican women who have been complaining is the Republican Party is very sexist.
How did you guys not know that?
You know, you're just you're just realizing what everybody else already knew.
What what has gone on in the past?
Like, is there a measure of truth to the idea that the Republican Party traditionally sidelines women and nobody should be surprised by this?
How is Speaker Mike Johnson responding to all of this?
