Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for A MAGA revolt against the Republican Party.
Marjorie Taylor Greene declared this week that MAGA Republicans are "done" with the Republican Party and House Speaker Mike Johnson after he forced through multiple foreign aide bills. Greene is essentially calling for MAGA fanatics to boycott the main Republican Party and force the Party further into oblivion - a move that so far has not worked out well for the Party at all. But Greene thinks she's taking over everything, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.
You're likely a freaking monster if Marjorie Taylor Green is accusing you of being extremely racist.
Shame on Trump and the vile company he keeps!

MTG needs her ‘head examined’ after weather posts
Florida Rep. Carlos Gimenez said Wednesday that GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others who think like her that humans can control the weather need “to have their head examined.”
Gimenez’s rebuke of his conspiratorially minded Republican colleague comes as Hurricane Milton bears down on Florida’s Gulf Coast and in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which made landfall in Florida last month and left devastating damage as it tracked across the Southeastern U.S. The two storms have also sparked an uptick in swirling conspiracy theories, instigated in part by Greene, who wrote on social media last week that “Yes they can control the weather,” adding “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.” It remains unclear who “they” is.
“NEW FLASH —> Humans cannot create or control hurricanes,” Gimenez posted to X on Wednesday in response to Greene. “Anyone who thinks they can, needs to have their head examined.”
Greene has doubled down since her initial post, posting a meme that cited various patents as ostensible proof that the weather could be controlled. And Tuesday, she posted a link to an article in the ultra-conservative and sometimes conspiratorial Gateway Pundit that cited various scientific practices, including cloud seeding, as proof the weather could be controlled.
In response to both Greene and other conspiracies spreading online, North Carolina Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards, whose district was particularly impacted by Helene, took to his website to debunk the claims one by one.
“Nobody can control the weather,” Edwards said in the note to his constituents on Tuesday.
“I encourage you to remember that everything you see on Facebook, X, or any other social media platform is not always fact. Please make sure you are fact checking what you read online with a reputable source,” Edwards said in the post.
President Joe Biden called the spread of misinformation “un-American” during a briefing Tuesday. “People are scared to death, people know their lives are at stake,” he said.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas highlighted what he called another negative impact of “deliberately false information” during an appearance on CNN Wednesday morning.
“It is demoralizing to the men and women at the federal level, at the state and local level, who are actually risking their lives to save others and to bring much needed relief to those who need it,” Mayorkas said on CNN.
