Her vow this week to force a vote to oust her fellow Republican and House Speaker Mike Johnson guarantees another week where she dominates both headlines and head space in the Capitol.

For the more moderate Republicans – the party has a slender majority in the House, 217 seats to 212 with six vacant seats – this represents another headache. One of the more recent departures from the House was Ken Buck, the Republican representative from Colorado who announced his resignation in March. Although staunchly conservative in his world view, he delivered a scathing rebuke of Greene during the bipartisan controversy, saying that “she was always focused on her social media account.
