TL;DR Summary

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens to force a vote to unseat Speaker Mike Johnson using a motion to vacate, while Johnson faces pressure from his own conference and GOP senators to move Ukraine aid. The debate over Ukraine aid has exposed deep fissures in the GOP conference, with Johnson supporting more aid while Greene opposes it. Johnson plans to move on foreign aid, including Ukraine aid, after the Easter recess, but his game plan remains unknown. Additionally, Congress is facing an April 19 deadline to extend the U.S.’s warrantless surveillance powers, which could further complicate Johnson's position with his right flank.
