Republican hardliners in the House of Representatives are pushing back against the bipartisan deal struck on Sunday aimed at avoiding a\u00a0government shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The conservative House Freedom Caucus led the revolt against Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer\u2019s agreement on Sunday evening, recirculating a late December memo that said any funding topline higher than $1.59 trillion would be “totally unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s even worse than we thought,” the group posted on X. “Don\u2019t believe the spin. Once you break through typical Washington math, the true total programmatic spending level is $1.658 trillion \u2014 not $1.59 trillion.”<\/p>\n
