Speaker Kevin McCarthy failed to secure support from hardline Republicans for his spending plans, resulting in the House Republicans abandoning their plan to pass a stop-gap government funding bill. Conservatives objected to a vote on a Pentagon funding bill, throwing the House into paralysis and leaving no clear plan to avoid a shutdown. McCarthy slammed the far-right members for wanting to "burn the place down." Members have now been sent home for the week with no solution in sight. McCarthy unveiled a new plan involving 30 days of funding, debt reduction measures, and border security, but it's unclear if Republicans will unite around it.
