House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden appear to be close to an agreement to raise the $31 trillion debt ceiling.
The two sides are stuck on whether to meet GOP demands to implement stiffer work requirements on some of the most vulnerable Americans.
The deadline facing them could be as soon as Thursday, June 1, when the Treasury could run out of money to pay the country's bills.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said the GOP is taking our economy hostage over the debt ceiling.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat, said Republicans are threatening a default on our debt "just so they can rip away healthcare & life-saving assistance for vulnerable people".
