Highlights of the day for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday:
HEALTHCARE
Trump will make a final push on Thursday to get the support needed to begin dismantling Obamacare in the House of Representatives but faces signs that enough Republicans might oppose the bill to jeopardize one of his top legislative priorities.
Uncertainty about the Republican plan to replace Obamacare is forcing some hospitals to delay expansion, cut costs or take on added risk to borrow money for capital investment projects, dealing an economic blow to these facilities and the towns where they are located.
SUPREME COURT
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer pledges to pursue a procedural hurdle to try to block the confirmation of Trump's Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, a move that could provoke a nasty partisan fight.
IMMIGRATION
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is directing U.S. diplomatic missions to identify "populations warranting increased scrutiny" and to toughen screening for visa applicants in those groups, according to diplomatic cables seen by Reuters.
MIDDLE EAST
Two months after stepping down as former President Barack Obama's ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro sees some good in the initial peace efforts by the new Trump administration, even as he voices grievances against it.
ENERGY
The White House says Trump's plan to slash environmental regulations will trigger a new energy boom, but top U.S. oil and gas companies are telling shareholders that regulations have little impact on their business.
ADMINISTRATION
Jay Clayton, the Wall Street lawyer Trump chose to lead the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, will face questions on his vision for the agency at his confirmation hearing on Thursday before the Senate Banking Committee.
