Marjorie Taylor Greene has fired a warning shot at the Trump administration. The Georgia Republican continued to distance herself further from the president on Saturday when she threatened to withhold her vote on a Republican-led budget bill over a laundry list of issues. “I gave my vote for a Biden/Democrat funding and policy CR (continuing resolution) once because my President asked me to, but I will not do it again,” Greene wrote on X just a day after she went on a rambling rant against the Trump administration. The MAGA firebrand said she would not vote to fund “a single penny or bullet” to Ukraine or Iran, with whom the administration’s nuclear talks were recently postponed. Greene also said she would vote against policies related to the COVID-19 vaccine, abortion, and “the trans agenda.” The congresswoman, who heads the DOGE subcommittee, added that she wanted cuts made by Elon Musk’s cost-cutting crew to become permanent. Greene also vowed to vote against any fund reconciliation and tax law that doesn’t include Trump’s long-promised no tax on tips, overtime, and social security: “For the love of God, give the American people and those who have suffered and worked the hardest a break.” If Republicans can’t support her agenda, she said, “then they have no idea why we won the election.”
