House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is set to give remarks Thursday morning as Republicans are working to craft legislation to advance President Donald Trump's domestic agenda before the end of the month, *The Hill* reports. Republicans in the lower chamber on Wednesday advanced a bill supporting Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration priorities, including raising fees on those seeking refuge.

The Hill reports that Speaker Mike Johnson, along with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and other leading House Republicans, will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House this Thursday. The meeting aims to address a bill containing President Donald Trump's legislative priorities, as GOP leaders face challenges in reaching a consensus on key issues. This meeting occurs amidst ongoing House Republican infighting over spending bills and ahead of upcoming debt ceiling negotiations.

The White House, under President Donald Trump, is committed to implementing a "system of merit" throughout the United States, according to Fox News. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller stated on Thursday that the administration intends to dismantle what he termed the "strangulation" of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The move signals a significant shift in policy, aligning with growing conservative efforts to challenge DEI programs in various sectors, including education, corporate settings, and government agencies. This initiative follows previous actions by President Donald Trump during his first term to limit diversity training and reflects broader debates over affirmative action and equal opportunity.

In an interview this week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed President Donald Trump’s ambitions for territorial expansion, stating that it will “never” happen under his leadership, *The Hill* reports. Speaking to the BBC as polls were closing amid Canada's election this week, Carney emphasized the importance of mutual respect between the neighboring nations before they meet to discuss the nature.

Kamala Harris has given her first major speech since the election loss, using the platform to strongly criticize President Donald Trump's agenda, according to BBC. The speech is seen as a move to energize the Democratic base and define her role within the party, particularly with ongoing Republican primary debates and concerns about unity within the Democratic party.

The former vice-president's remarks are expected to be used by Republicans to criticize the current administration, while independent voters' reactions will depend on how effectively Harris frames her arguments. The speech's success is crucial for Harris's political future, potentially solidifying her position as a leading figure in the Democratic party, BBC reports.

A pro-Donald Trump legal nonprofit has lodged a formal complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services, calling for an investigation into the DEI practices of a prominent hospital system in the Midwest, Fox News reports. The complaint alleges discrimination related to these DEI initiatives. This action comes amid growing conservative pushback against DEI programs across various sectors and Donald Trump's continued rhetoric against 'wokeness'.
