House Conservative Republicans Issue Ultimatum to McCarthy on Spending Cuts

A group of 21 House conservative Republicans sent a letter to Speaker Kevin McCarthy threatening to vote against government funding bills unless spending is cut and other demands are met.
The conservatives want Congress to spend less than agreed to in a bipartisan deal and match last year's amount without budget gimmicks.
They demand McCarthy not bring spending bills to the floor until they pass through committee and Biden agrees to a Republican border bill.
While not officially from the Freedom Caucus, the letter includes several members and signals conflict within the GOP on funding the government.
The opposition could sink party-line spending bills as Republicans have a slim majority, and they push McCarthy to pass each bill separately rather than an omnibus package.
