Controversy Erupts Over Auction of Kevin McCarthy's Used Chapstick by House GOP.

House Republicans held a fundraising auction during their private weekly meeting, bidding for Speaker Kevin McCarthy's used cherry lip balm. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene won the auction with a $100,000 bid, which will go to the House GOP campaign arm. The auction was criticized by Democrats, who called it "insane" and questioned the GOP's priorities. House Republicans also discussed the debt ceiling during the meeting, expressing skepticism about the Treasury Department's projected deadline and calling for more transparency on how the warning was calculated.
