Overview

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly backed extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, warning of soaring premiums if they lapse at year’s end.
  • She urged Speaker Mike Johnson to bring the House back into session, faulting GOP leaders for having no health care plan during the shutdown.
  • Greene said the White House pressed her to remove her name from Rep. Thomas Massie’s discharge petition to force a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein case files, which she refused.
  • President Donald Trump has asked senior Republicans, per NBC News, “What’s going on with Marjorie?” as her recent positions depart from the party line.
  • Democratic leaders amplified her comments to showcase GOP divisions, while Johnson dismissed her criticism by saying she is not read in on the issue; GOP sources also say she felt burned after being discouraged from a Senate run.
