VAY-KAY-SHUN, all they ever wanted UPDATE: Congress prepares for 2-week "Spring Recess" as shutdown continues

Rep. John Rose (R-TN) said Senate Majority Leader John Thune should step down, according to Newsmax’s Todd Starnes.

“We should call on Thune to step aside,” Rose said.

The remarks come as divisions grow deeper between House and Senate Republicans over how to handle the partial government shutdown, which has wreaked havoc at the nation’s airports.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has been at odds with Thune after the Senate passed a Department of Homeland Security funding bill aimed at ending the standoff. Meanwhile, lawmakers are preparing to leave Washington for a two-week spring recess even as the shutdown dispute remains unresolved.
