GOP's Internal Divisions Emerge Over Gas Stove Bills and Leadership Revenge

TL;DR Summary
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy's control over the House GOP is being tested by a small faction of conservative rebels who are causing chaos and blocking legislation. McCarthy's debt ceiling deal with President Biden was opposed by approximately one-third of House Republicans, and now his hard-right antagonists are retaliating by blocking bills from the floor. McCarthy's speakership is on borrowed time, and any bipartisan outcome in the House puts him in peril. The conservative faction's strategy seems less precise, with little clue as to what they are hoping for next. McCarthy insists he can get through this and remain the speaker.
