The House Freedom Caucus said it's a 'total failure' Republican hardliners in the House of Representatives are pushing back against the bipartisan deal struck on Sunday aimed at avoiding a government shutdown.
The conservative House Freedom Caucus led the revolt against Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s agreement on Sunday evening, recirculating a late December memo that said any funding topline higher than $1.59 trillion would be "totally unacceptable."
"It’s even worse than we thought," the group posted on X. "Don’t believe the spin. Once you break through typical Washington math, the true total programmatic spending level is $1.658 trillion — not $1.59 trillion."

LOL!
I am more than happy to disagree with you - CLOSING the G'ment IS THE ANSWER
PRIMARIES are coming - VOTE them Out in the PRIMARIES, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a diff. result makes one an absolute idiot
The Republicans in congress could be held up through the US Mail they are so stupid, cowardly and outright greedy. And Republican and the words: opposition party, leadership, conservative, respect, rule of law, honest, and courage should never be used in the same sentence.
You are correct enough of the Vichy will sign on with their good friends from across the aisle and yet another pile of crap will pass and be forgotten. I wonder if we will get the same feelings and thoughts as the barbarians crossed the hill heading to Rome at the end of their empire. A few of us will know that feeling, most with the sorry education system will be clueless to the history unfolding around them.
It seems that we had the wool pulled over our eyes.
With Fedzilla pissing away trillions, only a little has to stick to your fingers to establish multi-generational wealth. Nether these Congresscritters nor any of their descendants will ever have to work an honest job in their lives.
Actually, closing the government is a darn good idea. If we actually had republicans who gave a damn about this republic they'd be demanding a 10% across the board decrease in funding of every agency of the feral government.
Never ever trust a so-called conservative Christian who has dwell in the DC swamp for many many years. Their Christianity is completely different to the rustbelt who truly follow the word of God. Backstabbing, sleazy slime snake, backstabbing piece of crap! There should be a special place in hell for him and Pence!! God will eventually have the last word against these two flake/fake Christians!
How much border wall have you put up?
We’ll give you $100 million a mile.
So, how much have you put up so far?
Closing the government is not a solution.
You're putting the entire vote on Mike's shoulders...not quite how the House works.
You may have the best leader in the House since Newt.
Hello McFly!
Shutting down the government is a cudgel- leverage. You know better. Why ask a question that you have the answer to Sacajaweau?
Lawless vs ball-less
Gun vs Knife
Lucy vs Charlie Brown
Outlaw MC vs Shriners in clown cars

It’s time to play HARDBALL!
Are we family?
Thanks for the great perspective with the graphic that you posted.
You have it in your head that this can all be done. Nothing gets done without BOTH the House and Senate voting.
Not in the Senate he doesn’t...
No- I don’t have it in my head that this can be done. What I have in my head is that the rats RULE with RAW POWER and the Republicans sit in the corner cowering afraid of their own shadows.
The House has the purse. USE IT!
And SHUT DOWN this MADNESS!
The country is on fire and being overrun and you want to use Roberts Rules of Order or Parliamentary Procedures, or the Rules of Queensberry.
They’re building a new FBI building, bigger or more expensive than the Pentagon Bldg.
The same FBI- FED GOV SCUM TRAITORS, that have been undermining the duly elected President from EVEN before he was President! 2015! NINE YEARS and NO accountability.
BURN IT ALL DOWN FFS!
obviously i was referring to the house.
and the shumer-biden border plan just takes the money to let in more illegals.. Johnson is a McCarthy clone.
Thank God for the patriots who got rid of McCarthy.
Johnnson is a globalist RINO.
I can't claim creation of the Graphic info (long ago lost info on who actually created it). I just pulled His/Her visuals and text into a single graphic that allows the viewer to see everyting in one overall graphic.
Praise to the original creator, it really opened my eyes the first time I saw it, for sure.
Best to You and Yours Freepersup.
