This week in Washington (25 images)

President Joe Biden speaks about the transportation supply chain, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks about the debt ceiling and hosts Israel's alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid; demonstrators on climate change gather outside the White House; Vice President Kamala Harris speaks at a Native American convention; and Columbus Day is celebrated and protested among the highlights of the week in Washington, D.C., for October 11, 2021.

"Because all of these goods won't move by themselves," Biden said. "For the positive impact to be felt all across the country and by all of you at home, we need major retailers who ordered the goods and the freight movers who take the goods from the ships to factories and stores to step up as well."
