A decision by the far-right House Freedom Caucus members to go along with a tax deal proposed by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) that was similar to the one pushed by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has some mainstream GOP lawmakers furious over the Congressional chaos they created that led to the California lawmakers ouster as speaker.

According to a report from the Washington Post, the Freedom Caucus agreed this week to go along with a top-line $1.59 trillion budget deal without the spending caps they previously demanded.

That demand has now withered away for the moment with the Post reporting, "the far-right flank’s acceptance came far too late for some House Republican colleagues, who expressed shock, anger and dismay over the time wasted on placating the Freedom Caucus."
