Let's start this news day with a debt ceiling update. We cover Biden and Putin's two hour video chat, the end of an era following the end of Germany’s first female chancellor's tenure, and why a Georgie federal judge blocked the COVID vaccine mandate for employees of federal contractors. Earlier this week, the Justice Department closed the investigation into the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till. Finally, Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows says he will no longer cooperate with the House committee that’s investing the January 6th insurrection.
