The House of Representatives had a brief week before heading home to their districts for a work period. They’ll be back Feb. 28 after the Presidents Day recess. The Senate will be in next week. Spotted this week: an albino squirrel on the National Mall and Angelina Jolie at the Capitol.
Here’s the week in photos as captured by Roll Call photojournalists:
