GOP Lawmakers' Infighting Threatens Military Spending Bill and Government Shutdown

Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers criticized five Republican House members as "clowns that don't know what they want except attention" after they blocked a military spending bill, potentially leading to a government shutdown. The group of far-right Republicans is holding up funding bills to extract more concessions from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, including spending cuts and stricter border security policies. Other Republican congressmen have also criticized the faction's stance, calling it "blackmail."
