NEW: House takes key procedural step, to move ahead to debate on bills including aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. Vote on the rule was 316-94. The House plans to vote on the legislation on Saturday.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says it is an 'absurd notion' for a lawmaker to bring a motion to vacate the chair -- which could oust him from the speakership. Has no intention to resign. 'We need steady leadership.'

KY Congressman Massie joins in the threat to potentially call a vote to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson.

House Speaker Johnson's statement on latest meeting with GOP lawmakers.

Seems pretty clear from reaction that the GOP would probably need Democratic votes to pass a rule. Not sure that will fly.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is proposing separating several foreign aid bills. He's now calling for the House to take up four bills for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan...as well as another bill that would include a TikTok ban. Johnson met with the GOP conference this evening.

RIP. We will miss you but keep going, heck yeah, as you would.
