With little time left to prevent a government shutdown, the House is in a familiar position: effectively paralyzed as conservatives feud with Speaker Kevin McCarthy over matters large and small.
McCarthy has pushed the Republican conference to embrace a short-term funding plan that would include a sweeping Republican proposal for the southern border. But a small group of hard-line conservatives has defied the speaker in a quest to get rid of stopgap funding plans, known as continuing resolutions, even if opposing them means forcing a government shutdown.
It’s left McCarthy at an impasse. The California congressman will likely be left with the political damage of a shutdown unless he turns to Democrats for help in passing a bipartisan bill. But working with Democrats would give hard-right Republicans reason to remove him as speaker.
Here’s what to know about the House Republicans’ conflict and where it may be headed:

Ever see any media outlet use the descriptive term, “far left”?
Or, “hard-line liberals”?
Remember, the Chicago Tribune has always believed anyone to the right of Joe Stalin was and is a ultra right wing hardliner.
NO CR, BUILD THE WALL, SHUT IT ALL DOWN UNTIL THE WALL IS FINISHED.
It appears that these “short term funding plans” are just a way to slip all sorts of unrelated LONG TERM nonsense into law. I’m against that pretty strongly.
Hmm so demanding clean transparent Government is now “far right”?
My Little Orphan Annie decoder ring says ‘moderate’ means ‘far left’.
McCarthy speaking now...he has a little story for the American people...same old, same old. Where’s my badly-stained and overused barf bucket???
My rep is a far left Democrat d:(
My handy-dandy Newspeak media translation guide for political ideology labels:
Media labels vs. Reality:
Blue = Red
Socialist/Left-wing = Stalinist
Liberal = Marxist
Moderate/(Centrist) = Socialist
Conservative = Liberal
Far-Right = Moderate <-—————Right here
Ultraright/Racist/Bigot = Conservative Mainstream
“Ever see any media outlet use the descriptive term, “far left”?”
“Or, “hard-line liberals”?”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Or blame the Left for a government shutdown?
Or CREDIT the Right for a government shutdown?
Not that she got the majority of the vote. You guys gotta get rid of that “install the leftist loser” fix in Alaska.
Victim politics.
Overton window
McCarthy needs to be removed as Speaker. He had his chance, but he didn’t impeach Mayorkas “on day one” like he promised, didn’t release the J6 videos, and is dragging his feet on everything we all want. Time to go. I have a suggestion for his replacement - Jim Jordan. (Hey, a guy can dream, right?)
No worries, Deep State. There’ll be a bit of fussing. Then a few GOPe House members will cross over and vote with the Democrats. The continuing resolution will pass.
McCarthy will make a sad face in public, and a happy one in private.
Same goes in the Senate. And our country’s drive right off a cliff will continue.
Did they leave out “extremists”?
FAR RIGHT = Honest, moral, patriotic people with ethics who believe in the US Constitution, personal independence and personal responsibility.
My rep is a far left wing douche of a man that can’t string two sentences together(like biden) without screwing it up.He dresses like a thug outta Compton and I did not vote for this person. Can you guess who I am talking about ?
