House votes to suspend debt ceiling through 2022

The House has voted to pass a measure that would suspend the debt ceiling through mid-December of 2022, and the bill now goes to the Senate. Meanwhile, time is running out to avert a government shutdown. Failure to do so would impact multiple agencies and leave thousands of federal employees furloughed. CBS News congressional correspondent Kris Van Cleave reports on the latest from Capitol Hill. Then Siobhan Hughes, a congressional reporter for the Wall Street Journal, joins CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss that and more.

Biden's agenda hangs on Democratic unity

The U.S. appears to be on the brink of a major fiscal crisis and potential government shutdown as lawmakers scramble to pass key legislation. Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would've kept federal agencies funded through early December and raise the national debt limit, and moderate and progressive Democrats are clashing over President Biden's agenda. CBS News congressional correspondent Kris Van Cleave and CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes joined CBSN with the latest developments.

Capitol police officer on healing after January 6

Eight months after the deadly January 6 insurrection, some U.S. Capitol police officers who worked to defend the building are still trying to heal from the trauma of that day. Many officers who were there say they were both physically and verbally assaulted by mob that stormed the building and professed their support for former President Trump. More than 100 officers were injured. Officer Harry Dunn, who was at the Capitol on January 6 and testified before about that day before a House select committee, joins CBSN's Elaine Quijano to discuss his healing process.
