Live updates: Trump's anti-DEI push begins; Democrats grill OMB nominee

Rubber is meeting the road in President Trump's first week back at the White House, as the administration warned federal workers in roles related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) that they would be placed on paid leave in less than 24 hours.

All websites and social media accounts related to DEI and accessibility would also come down by 5 p.m. Wednesday, an effort to overturn efforts by the Biden administration to remove barriers.

It was just the latest move in a swirl of executive orders and resolutions that started Monday afternoon, only hours into the new Trump administration.

The "get things done" tone extended to the Senate, where Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told the upper chamber on Tuesday night that votes could extend into the weekend to get Trump's Cabinet members — in particular, Defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth — in place.

Votes are expected in the Senate on an abortion measure and the Laken Riley Act in the House, along with leadership press conferences from Republicans and Democrats.

In Senate committees, Office of Management and Budget nominee Russell Vought faces a hearing, and Transportation secretary nominee Sean Duffy faces a confirmation vote.
