MTG Goes to Battle on Budget
Just the News reported that Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has outlined her demands for supporting additional funds to the U.S. government. She insists on an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, opposes funding a weaponized government against Trump supporters, rejects funding for COVID measures like vaccines and mandates, and calls for a peace resolution in Ukraine. These demands come as Congress prepares for a budget battle.
Fox News reported:
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has indicated he would move forward with an impeachment inquiry into Biden and his family's foreign business dealings, but only if there is a formal House vote, which could come as soon as this month when the legislative session resumes.
The deadline to fund the government is Sept. 30 and McCarthy has told House GOP colleagues that he expects to move toward a short-term measure to avoid a government shutdown while the Republican-held House and Democrat-held Senate attempt to come to an agreement on a long-term budget.
The government's new fiscal year begins on Oct. 1 when funding approval is required to avert closures of federal offices.
