CNN — 

New House Speaker Mike Johnson may already be losing his first big clash with the hard-right lawmakers who are making the Republican majority and the nation ungovernable as time races down to yet another federal funding cut-off.

The Louisiana conservative, who was just lifted from obscurity to second in line to the presidency, may soon find himself in the position that doomed his predecessor Rep. Kevin McCarthy — needing Democratic votes to keep the government open.

A funding deadline of Friday night means Washington again faces a wild ride of shutdown brinkmanship caused by extreme GOP lawmakers who either cannot or don’t want to help run the country. The imbroglio is not just harming America’s image as a functioning democracy abroad. It has already wasted every week of the House majority party’s term since the summer and threatens to further weaken the key swing-district members critical to the GOP’s hopes of keeping the gavel in next year’s election.

So the house will pass spending with or without dem support. then the dem senate or president will vote it down. and thats the GOP attempting to shut down the government?

 

The Left needs its credit cards cut.

They just want to burn the government down

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) called behind closed doors on Wednesday for his fellow Republicans to stop criticising him and his budget negotiations on social media, per two sources inside the room.

Why it matters: With just days to avert a partial government shutdown, conservatives are slamming Johnson's topline budget agreement with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), alleging it does not go far enough to include GOP priorities and cut spending.
