Do You Still Trust GOP Republicans To Stop Increased Spending?

A coalition of 21 ardent conservative House Republicans have notified Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) of their intention to oppose spending bills they deem to have inadequate overall cuts. They have also enumerated their specific demands, which include a public rejection by the Speaker of any possibility of supplemental funding for Ukraine.

This warning has been issued as the House reconvenes on Tuesday to embark on a three-week sprint leading up to the August recess. Appropriations and internal conflicts within the GOP regarding these matters are expected to take center stage during this period.
