Friday began with House conservatives holding a press conference to trash the $1.2 trillion spending bill [https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-senate-shutdown-vote-rcna144440] their leaders negotiated with Democrats, sparking some fears about its prospects.  It squeaked through — requiring 67% of the House, it ended up winning 68% — but a majority of Republicans voted against it. It was just the first headache of the day for House Republicans as they adjourned for a two-week recess, offering a distillation of the infighting and disenchantment that continues to plague the party 15 months into its narrow majority. Things were about to get worse. Moments later, far-right Rep.
