It was another busy week in Washington as the Capitol fence came down, infrastructure talks continued, Democratic members of the Texas Legislature visited and Biden dropped by for lunch.
Here’s a look at the week in photos through the lenses of CQ Roll Call’s photojournalists:

Note from the photo editor: Today is photojournalist Caroline Brehman’s last day at CQ Roll Call, and thus her final appearance in our Photos of the Week gallery.
In the span of two years, Caroline covered what seems like a lifetime of news including two impeachments, an insurrection, a Supreme Court confirmation, two presidents, two election cycles, the pandemic and racial justice protests for George Floyd.
We can’t thank Caroline enough for her incredible photos documenting these historic days in Washington. We wish Caroline the best as she heads to Los Angeles to work for the European Pressphoto Agency.
