A bloc of Republican hardliners took down the GOP leadership's efforts on two bills this week, a move they said was retaliation for Speaker Kevin McCarthy's deal with President Joe Biden to suspend the national debt limit.

The move sank a bill to ban the prohibition of gas stoves and to impose new Hill oversight on federal rules.
