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.”

    You asked what the turnaround was and I told you. Welcome yourself to now. I’m fucking sick of this place.

      Yeah, and my previous comment did nothing but 100% agree with what you said before but also to further support your agenda. So perhaps you could explain it to me, but I’m not entirely certain why you’re getting so snappy with me right now because I am definitely on your side.

        Read your first comment back to yourself and imagine it’s someone else talking to you. Your last two sentences of your first reply make you sound very snarky.

          Pretty ridiculous to tell me that you know what I’m saying better than I do
