"House Speaker Johnson's Stand on Averting Shutdown Sparks Republican Revolt"

Speaker Mike Johnson has announced that he will stand by the spending deal he negotiated with Democrats to avert a government shutdown, despite pressure from hard-right Republicans to abandon the agreement. This decision means that Johnson will need to work with Democrats to pass a short-term bill to keep the government funded past upcoming deadlines. The hard-right Republicans are furious at the spending levels in the bipartisan plan and have threatened to force a vote to oust Johnson, but he has reaffirmed the compromise, citing concessions secured by Republicans.

"Speaker McCarthy's Attempts to Satisfy Hard-Right Republicans Fall Short"

Speaker Kevin McCarthy, facing a government shutdown, has resorted to giving hard-right Republicans what they want in order to maintain his tenuous hold on House leadership. However, this strategy has left him frustrated and uncertain of his power. McCarthy has made concessions to the far-right lawmakers, including agreeing to their demand for an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and meeting their calls for spending cuts. Despite his efforts, these concessions never seem to be enough, as some members continue to hold out for more. With the deadline to fund the government approaching, McCarthy is facing a more virulent strain of hard-right tactics that have plagued previous Republican speakers.

"US Government Shutdown and Impeachment Inquiry Threats Resurface as House Returns"

The threat of a US government shutdown and a Biden impeachment inquiry loom over the House's return. Speaker Kevin McCarthy is facing the challenge of running a government funding process alongside an impeachment drive, with no set date for the inquiry. McCarthy is also working to appease skeptical Republicans who want to end US involvement in overseas affairs, particularly involving Russia. Hard-right Republicans are demanding an impeachment inquiry against Biden and have outlined a list of demands in exchange for their support on a continuing resolution. McCarthy's handling of these challenges could determine whether he loses his position as speaker.
