Disgruntled Moderates Aim Ire At Tuesday Group Leader: ‘You Are Going To Make Us Lose The Majority’
Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.) worked with the conservative Freedom Caucus to help revise the Republicans' health care plan, but it's not winning him any favors with his moderate colleagues.

Tuesday Group Leader Under Fire Over Health Care Deal
Republican Rep. Tom MacArthur might have singlehandedly saved the Obamacare repeal effort. But rather than being hailed as a hero, the New Jersey lawmaker has come under fire from GOP centrists, who are incensed he negotiated with Freedom Caucus ringleader Mark Meadows. (Bade and Cheney, 5/3)
The Hill:
Lawmakers Plot To Oust Tuesday Group Leader Over Health Bill
"There is dissension in the ranks," said one Tuesday Group member who backs MacArthur's ouster. "The Tuesday Group, to me, is a group of concerned, like-minded representatives who discuss issues, not negotiate positions on behalf of the group, but have meetings on Tuesday and have lunch and discuss the pending issues of the day." (Wong, 5/3)
