The House Freedom Caucus on Thursday threw a wrench in Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s plans to finalize a debt limit deal with President Biden, demanding new provisions in exchange for their votes.
Thirty-five members of the hardline group sent a letter to Mr. McCarthy outlining a new conservative wish list. The lawmakers wrote that GOP unity behind Mr. McCarthy would be endangered if the demands were unmet.
“The power of an undivided Republican Party guided by conservative principles cannot be overstated,” the lawmaker wrote. “As you navigate the debt limit debate, you are the steward of this unity and will determine whether it continues to strengthen and places a historic stamp on this Congress or evaporates.”
Freedom Caucus lawmakers want the final deal to look like the debt limit legislation passed by House Republicans, plus to expand it to exclude funding for a new FBI headquarters and include great border security measures.

are 35 Patriots enough???
the backstabbing, treasonous GOP KNEW that
McCarthy would defecate on the American
people, and betray their voters.
They KNEW. THAT is always what they do.
Here are some solutions.
The military is going gay. Cut the military budget by two thirds. They will hardly be able to defend our country, never mind other countries. No need for NATO. Cut our funding to them. That’s 500 billion a year.
Consolidate all agencies which have overlapping responsibilities and then cut overall spending to the agencies by 15% a year for the next five years. I believe that’s about 100 billion a year.
All social programs will take an immediate 20% haircut. Another 200 billion.
All foreign aid to be cut. Exemptions granted will be based on the existential threat to their own democracies, Israel and Taiwan come to mind. another 10 billion.
I’ll hold off on illegal aliens, incarcerated criminals and domestic terrorists like BLM and Antifa for now.
It should have been in danger a month ago when he lied about releasing the tapes
“It should have been in danger a month ago when he lied about releasing the tapes”
And hasn’t that issue been dropped like a hot potato?
The tapes have been “deemed” released and therefore it is all old news.
Donald Trump INSISTED that only McCarthy was worthy to be Speaker, and that the Freedom Caucus members should shut up and get with the program.
Like they do in El salvador:
"Today at dawn, in a single operation, we transferred the first 2,000 gang members to the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT). This will be their new house, where they will live for decades, mixed up, unable to do any more harm to the population. We continue," Bukele tweeted on Friday.
Bukele said the arrival of the several thousand tattooed, shirtless prisoners dressed only in white shorts were the “first” of the inmates to arrive at the new facility.
Cells hold 100 prisoners with 80 cots
Good list!
I might add one big item, im my mind...How much do we spend on U.N. funding per year? Cut it by 100%.
