Yes, and the goal of this bill was to force states into tough decisions and forcing their hand to have to cut programs.

Well of course the deadly cuts start AFTER the midterms. Lull the rubes to sleep, then attack them, as the old dictator's playbook goes.

That’d have required Jeffries to go for ~30 hours. The record for all of Congress is Cory Booker’s 25+ hours. Booker spent several days preparing his body for that feat. Jeffries didn’t have that kinds prep time. His speech broke records set by Pelosi and McCarthy. Pelosi did her’s in heels.

Yeah, it would have been incredibly difficult and taken a monstrous effort. Honestly, though, this bill seriously called for it if anything did.

I look forward to President Ocasio-Cortez signing that bill, though.
