Looks like a number of GOP congresscritters voted against the proposed bill defunding some rogue judges.
This looks bad, but maybe not so bad once you consider that it won't pass constitutional muster. The Constitution says you cannot mess with their compensation, if I am not mistaken. You may be able to defund their staff positions, but not the judge's salary itself.
A better move would be to remove jurisdiction. Besides, there's not enough of a majority to do anything anyway. The GOP may not even have a majority right now. This stuff is just for show.
The political climate right now is pretty goofy. Not much worth commenting upon, but this is worth some attention. They need to get smarter, not louder.
