Rep. Massie Backs Ousting House Speaker Mike Johnson
----------------------------------------------------

In news from Capitol Hill, Republican Congressmember Thomas Massie of
Kentucky has joined Marjorie Taylor Greene's bid to oust Republican
House Speaker Mike Johnson. Massie made the announcement a day after
Johnson unveiled a plan to advance separate bills to send aid to Israel,
Ukraine and Taiwan. Meanwhile, House Republicans have sent articles of
impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to
the Senate.
