The debt ceiling fight

1 big thing - A podcast by Axios - Thursdays

The United States reached its $31.4 trillion debt ceiling on Thursday and the country is at its credit limit. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to act promptly. Plus, 50 years post-Roe, a split in the anti-abortion movement. And, the toll of burnout on women leaders like New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern.
