"House Conservatives Outraged as Speaker Johnson Defends Spending Deal to Avoid Government Shutdown"

House Speaker Mike Johnson's handshake deal to fund the government has sparked outrage among conservative House Republicans, with some expressing disappointment and even considering ousting Johnson from the speakership. The deal, which includes federal spending caps and a side deal for non-defense spending, has been criticized for lacking the deep spending cuts conservatives had sought. Johnson defended the agreement, stating that it allows for conservative policy additions to funding bills, but with Democrats controlling the Senate and the White House, it's unlikely Republicans can secure significant victories in future funding legislation.
