The GOP's Turmoil: McCarthy's Temporary Success and Far-Right Demands.
TL;DR Summary
Speaker Kevin McCarthy struck a deal with Freedom Caucus members to get the House moving again, but the temporary win for McCarthy may ultimately come at a much bigger cost. Republicans now plan to put forth appropriations bills at old spending caps, except for the Pentagon budget, which may make it harder for the House to get its way in the end and set McCarthy up for his final act as speaker. The most likely scenario is an omnibus spending deal, which may lead to a government shutdown. McCarthy risks proving the left's point if he goes back on the deal, arguing he's somehow living up to the letter of the agreement.
