Conservative pro-Trump Republicans raged after the House of Representatives passed a stop-gap spending bill to keep the government open for 45 days, saying it would prevent spending cuts that they had hoped to pass.
The House voted 335 to 91 for a stopgap spending bill called a continuing resolution (CR) as it continues to pass the 12 spending bills before the end of the year.
House conservatives have long opposed passing continuing resolutions and hoped to use the appropriations process to pass right-wing policies despite the fact they had little chance of the Democratic-controlled Senate passing them or President Joe Biden signing them.

..."For their part, House Democrats praised the passage of the continuing resolution, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries saying that extremist Republicans lost.
“The American people have won,” he told reporters. “The extreme Maga Republicans have lost. It was a victory for the American people and a complete and total surrender by right-wing extremists who throughout the year have tried to hijack the Congress.”
The bill was largely expected to pass the Senate on Saturday evening and head to Mr Biden’s desk before midnight.
Ms Mace was seen walking onto the House floor with Mr Gaetz. But when asked whether he would file a motion to vacate, Mr Gaetz didn’t answer."
