“House Republican leaders don’t expect to have a plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security until mid-week, potentially setting up another frantic shutdown fight later this week,” Politico reports.
“With a Friday deadline looming, Republican leaders are set to meet Monday afternoon to begin to plot their way out of what’s become one of the worst jams of John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) speakership.”
“Just hours after the leadership meeting, another emerging power center — the House Freedom Caucus, led by Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan — will gather Monday night to plan their next moves. Sources in the newly formed group say its members aren’t moving to oust Boehner, but some conservatives would support removing the speaker if it came up.”
