GOP's Mixed Bag of Priorities: Gas Cooking, Blockades, Debt Ceiling, Social Security, and McCarthy's Warning

House Republicans' efforts to protect gas stoves suffered a setback as a conservative faction blocked the House from even considering the dual gas stove bills. The faction feels betrayed by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for forging a debt ceiling pact with President Biden to avoid a federal default. McCarthy's success in convincing about two-thirds of all House Republicans to vote in favor of a plan to suspend the debt limit barely flickers like a pilot light in the eyes of some conservatives. The House Rules Committee has teed up a meeting for Monday afternoon on a measure backed by Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., to block a rule by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) on pistol braces.
