For the second day in a row, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has forced an adjournment vote in opposition to debate over the Equality Act:

What’s interesting here, though, is that MTG is getting GOP support for it:
Marjorie Taylor Greene has figured out a way to get attention from her House colleagues. Force a vote of the full chamber on a motion to adjourn, which she's done for a second straight day. Ties up the floor for about an hour.

Republicans are happy to let her be the lightning rod on this one as 199 of them voted with her today:

It’s also totally within the rules:
I'm sure this annoys her colleagues, but this is within the rules. If she'd figured this out before, she might have been able to be a useful gadfly in the House. https://t.co/YULF71ACM0

You know, if they want to keep her busy they could give her back her committee assignments:
To be fair, she's got a lot more time on her hands since she was kicked off her committees https://t.co/T41Py3Rn29
