During a town hall Thursday night to her constituents, Greene said she would not vote on necessary budget bills unless impeachment proceedings begin for President Joe Biden.

Failing to fund the government would lead to a government shutdown when the fiscal year ends Sept. 30, which could result in furloughed workers, closed agencies and place many essential programs in peril.

The White House on Thursday asked Congress to pass a short-term continuing resolution to fund the government while budget negotiations continue.

Seriously these people make me not give a shit about this country. Like if they are able to be in the positions they are in I just assume the entire country is bullshit and not to be respected.

You answered your own question. She gets press because she draws attention. I don’t know anyone who listens or respects her but damn, does it outrage people

McCarthy has said he'll have a house vote first. I don't think she's going to win that.
