Marjorie Taylor Greene is quickly amassing power at the heart of the Republican Party. That’s bad news for democracy.
the armed insurgents would have succeeded in preventing the certification of the Electoral College vote, she has surged to the front ranks of GOP politics. She has enough credibility with the far right to help mold their collective responses to, say, whether or not to support Kevin McCarthy, and enough political savvy to know that, for now at least, her interests and McCarthy’s align.
Hers is now the all-too-public voice of MAGA in Congress, a junior congressmember capable of marshaling additional far right support for the GOP leadership but equally capable, should the political calculus shift, of withdrawing that support again and bringing down the speaker.

The justices removed it from their argument calendar after the Justice Department told them on Feb. 7 the case would become moot because Title 42 will expire in light of an announcement by President Joe Biden's administration that the recognition of a COVID-19 public health emergency will end effective May 11.
