The #FarRight *lawmakers* won their seats on the #RulesCommittee as part of a deal made by fmr speaker #KevinMcCarthy, who haggled w/ #ultraconservatives opposing his leadership & only agreed to back him after he gave them critical leverage. They refused to support the measure to bring up the #aid package bc it wouldn’t allow a vote on #extremism #border security they prioritize over #Ukraine.

The #Republicans’ rebellion left #Democrats to bail out #MikeJohnson, so they can get something done.
