House Republican hardliners are frustrated at Speaker Mike Johnson for once again passing a "clean" short-term federal funding bill to avert a partial government shutdown this week.
"It's just the usual c--p. Swamp is going to swamp, nothing's changing, we're spending more money. We're not changing the bureaucracy," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. "We're afraid to shut down, we won't use the power of the purse, and the result is a demonstrably weaker America."
Members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus and their allies have been pushing House GOP leaders to leverage a shutdown to force the Democrat-dominated Senate and White House to agree to conservative policies on the U.S. border and elsewhere.
