House Democrats may consider not showing up to a vote in order to save Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) as Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) threaten to oust him.
It is expected that when the vote is called, House Republicans will postpone or even cancel it, essentially killing it. Democrats, however, instead of putting up “yes” votes, may “take a walk” and not show up to the vote, according to Politico. This would bring the threshold down for it to pass, which could allow many Republicans who are not as critical of Johnson as Greene and Massie to vote in favor of it.

More than three years after the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the Department of Justice is continuing to pursue those who participated through hundreds of aggressive prosecutions. That includes Donald Trump, whose political future and personal freedom may depend on whether a jury believes he is to blame for the violence. But the intensity of the Biden DOJ’s crackdown on Jan. 6 offenders has stirred controversy, drawn scrutiny from the Supreme Court in Fischer v. United States, and become a central focus of Trump’s third presidential campaign. In this series, Riot revisited: Jan. 6, Justice, and Capitol Consequences, the Washington Examiner will look at the legal weaknesses in the DOJ’s efforts to punish Jan. 6 rioters and the future of those cases should Trump reclaim the White House.

The House will move forward with a proposal to vote on four separate funding bills in an effort to advance aid to Ukraine and Israel after months of deliberation among lawmakers.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) unveiled the plan to House Republicans on Monday, proposing to split foreign aid into four separate bills focusing on Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and then a fourth that includes other defense measures to “strengthen our national security.” The plan is to combine all four bills into a single rules package before bringing them to the floor for individual votes, according to the speaker.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard oral arguments on whether part of an obstruction law can be used to prosecute hundreds of defendants involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, a case that also has implications for former President Donald Trump.
Former Pennsylvania police officer Joseph Fischer is appealing a lower court’s ruling denying his bid to evade a federal charge of corruptly obstructing an official proceeding, or more specifically, the congressional certification of President Joe Biden’s victory over Trump that prompted thousands of protesters to descend on the Capitol three years ago.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) will co-sponsor a motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), marking a second Republican who publicly threatened his removal.
Massie told lawmakers in a closed-door meeting Tuesday he would back the effort introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) last month, a lawmaker inside the meeting confirmed to the Washington Examiner. The change comes just one day after Johnson proposed a four-pronged plan to provide foreign aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan through separate bills — a proposal that has been met with pushback by members of his own conference.
