Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene issued an ominous warning for House Speaker Mike Johnson should he move forward with a lengthy stopgap measure aimed at preventing a shutdown and keeping the government into the spring.
"The Christmas CR lump of coal comes with a warning. Beware the Ides of March.." said Greene in a post on her X account, a reference to the warning given to Roman emperor Julius Caesar in the eponymous Shakespeare play regarding the date in which he would be assassinated.
