Republican Maryland Rep. Andy Harris, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus (HFC), is whipping support for a government funding plan

Members of the House Freedom Caucus opened up about their meeting with President Trump about avoiding a government shutdown.

Republican U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson aims to hold a vote on Tuesday on a bill to fund the government through September 30, a move needed to avert a partial shutdown of agencies late next week,

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris told The Washington Times that he and other fiscal hard-liners are willing to support a stopgap bill continuing government spending at Biden administration levels because they know President Trump won’t spend it all.

Some House Republicans want to see stiffer penalties levied against Rep. Al Green and other Democrats for disrupting proceedings on the House floor.

Ten Democrats joined with House Republicans on Thursday to censure Rep. Al Green for his protest during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress this week — a formal condemnation of the Texas Democrat’s actions.

Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., said he and other conservative House Freedom Caucus members were drafting a censure resolution of Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, after Green interrupted Trump's address, calling on the president to protect Medicaid from Republican tax reform. The effort led to Green's removal from the joint-session of Congress.

The House on Thursday voted to censure Rep. Al Green, D-Tex., for disrupting President Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday. The House agreed to the resolution by a vote of 224-198, with two members, Green and Rep. Shomari Figures, D-Ala., voting “present.” Ten Democrats voted in favor of the censure.
