Fake conservatives agree to fake spending cuts. Deal will increase mandatory spending ~5%, increase military spending ~3%, and maintain current non-military discretionary spending at post-COVID levels. No real cuts to see here.

Conservatives have been sold out once again!

Yup. They, very predictably, bent over and took it up the ass, in total disregard of their constituents.

Some knives are out. Let's see if they go back in the sheath or get stuck in their target.

JUST IN: The House Freedom Caucus appears to be considering removing McCarthy as Speaker if he goes forward with the Biden national debt deal.

"Were the bill to go forward, would you file a motion the vacate the chair?"

"I will let each member speak for themselves but for me I am focused on defeating this bill. What happens post that and the agreements that we have, we will decide once we have determined the disposition of this bill in its finality."

Deal will hit Biden's desk on Monday.

Let's thank McCarthy for choosing to identify as a cave in order to get this done to help pay off bipartisan debt.

Weak speakers who cave like McCarthy get stymied on the House floor.
