Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to participate in House committee discussions related to extending Obamacare tax credits,despite Greene not being a member of those committees. This invitation follows Greene&#8217;s public break with GOP leadership, as she supports extending the expiring subsidies-a key issue contributing to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congress-members-wont-take-pay-during-government-shutdown\/\" title=\"Congress members won...t take pay during government shutdown\">ongoing government shutdown<\/a>.Johnson previously downplayed Greene&#8217;s criticism, suggesting she was not fully informed.
