ProPublica is curating the debt ceiling drama. Tons and tons of links, charts, facts, media reports and stories, twitter feeds and other resources to follow the debate etc.
When the dust settles (and all the media and election-year partisan political revisionism begins) it will all still be there. A great resource for now and later.
