A motion is basically a consideration and an opportunity for a press conference. She didn’t actually kick off a vote, she’s only asking “should I kick off a vote.”
This smells like MTG just wanting attention again.

Oh no, they’re eating each other’s faces again and will only make it clearer just how incompetent they are… so anyways, TGIF everyone! What’s the plan for the weekend?

you live laugh love to see it.

Mike Johnson all but said he has the Democratic votes to avoid the fate of his predesessor. This might be the "Sedition Caucus"'s death knell if he's right. This is basically all their leverage.
-
Or, vote him out and make so much fun of him that he quits too, putting congress closer to a dem majority.

The leopards 🐆 are coming…

In other news: The leopard population has exploded due to a near unlimited supply of faces.

Godspeed, MTG, and good luck! Eat yourself alive GOP

...this plays right into Jeffries and House Dems hands...they can tell Moses if he wants to stay Speaker he's gonna have to offer up the Ukraine funding immediately if you want our votes (or abstentions) to oppose vacating the Speaker's chair
That's the logical play, but they better get the aid up front because Johnson isn't trustworthy and obviously isn't in control of his own party.
In a functioning congress dealing would make logical sense. The fact that Republicans can't be trusted to follow through on deals makes trying to make deals with them illogical.
Compromise on one specific piece of legislation? Sure, as long as it is checked to ensure no poison pulls were snuck in and the compromise was worth it.
But then they could just call another vote for speaker? Not sure this would be the play, but if it was, I don't see he can renege without just incurring the same fate?
This motion is not an immediate threat.
The way it was filed lets them bury it in committee, this was only a MAGA warning shot.
And more GOP theater, which they are also very bad at. None of these people have any skills. It's like they grew up licking lead pipes, and still are.
