Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., has twisted himself into a pretzel trying to please his fractious caucus and he's starting to show the strain. Unfortunately, the people of Ukraine are currently paying the price as he struggles with what appears to be a cage match against Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is making it clear that she intends to blow up the House of Representatives in an election year if she doesn't get her way.
The state of play remains what it's been for weeks now. The Democratic-led Senate passed a tortuously negotiated bipartisan bill that included funding for Ukraine and the border months ago. But the Republican-led House rejected it upon orders from Donald Trump, who openly admitted that his motives were purely to benefit his campaign.
