"Expect the discharge petition standoff to come to a head this week. Rep. Thomas Massie said he and Rep. Ro Khanna will start the process of forcing a vote immediately' now that lawmakers are back." Said Massie: "This has not gone away like the speaker had hoped. If anything, now that the DOJ is releasing documents, it's increasing the momentum." "Rep. Riley Moore, a West Virginia Republican, indicated over recess that he will support the discharge petition, adding to Massie's confidence that they can gather the necessary 218 signatures. The GOP dissent threatens Speaker Mike Johnson's control over the House as the shutdown deadline approaches."
