The House Freedom Caucus is calling for a year-long extension to the stopgap spending bill. The current continuing resolution to fund the government has deadlines of March 1 and March 8. In a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson, the conservative wing of the Republican majority has released a laundry list of demands. That list includes policies dealing with abortion, student loans and Homeland Security. Members of the Freedom Caucus are afraid an omnibus funding bill will be released at the last minute before being rushed to the floor for a vote.
