House Freedom Caucus Delivers Political Blow to Speaker McCarthy, Government Shutdown Set to Take Effect Saturday at 12:01 a.m.

The rebels are pushing for steep spending cuts and are unconcerned with the potential shutdown. As a result, Republicans are without a game plan to avert the shutdown, which is set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday.
