It was amazing to see so many of Will’s friends and colleagues at @PressClubDC tonight & hear amazing stories. The turnout was a testament to the kind of person he was — an incredibly kind & humble man whose commitment to journalism, the @AP & to the Press Club was unmatched.

Here's your deep dive on the X-date. Go ahead, wonk out. @fatimathefatima apnews.com/article/debt-c…

The already voluble McCarthy is especially chatty these days, as he aggressively tries to set the terms of the public debate. Biden's deeply held view is that speaking in public about negotiations does nothing to produce an outcome. @seungminkim apnews.com/article/presid…

It was a shift in focus that plays to Biden's faith in the power of global diplomacy, and one that also may hold more promise for making progress. @ctlong1 apnews.com/article/title-…
