Debt limit showdown intensifies as lawmakers dig into partisan corners.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has not heard from President Joe Biden about debt ceiling talks, following the House passing a GOP-led bill in an effort to pressure the White House to the negotiating table. McCarthy also expressed strong support for Israel and Ukraine, cautioning Israel to be wary of Chinese investment. The White House has said the debt limit should be raised without any conditions, while Republicans are insisting any increase in the limit must be paired with spending cuts.
