Live updates: Court blocks Trump's birthright citizenship order; Senate advances Hegseth's nomination
President Trump's sweeping agenda took its first hit Thursday, when a federal judge put a temporary hold on his birthright citizenship executive order.
Senate leaders are pushing ahead with a series of votes on Trump's Cabinet nominees, looking to confirm an initial batch by Friday. John Ratcliffe was confirmed as CIA director on Thursday. A vote to advance Pete Hegseth's nomination as Defense secretary followed, passing with 51 votes, with Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) voting no.
Pressure is building from both sides on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his bid to become Health and Human Services secretary. His confirmation hearing is set for next week.
And the president's blanket pardons of Jan. 6 rioters aren't the only White House action drawing some concern from Republicans during the first week of the GOP trifecta in Washington.
Republicans were surprised by the halt on funding from former President Biden’s major spending bills, which could impact infrastructure projects in their home states. Some are also worried about a hiring freeze at federal agencies.
Follow along for live updates throughout the day.
