Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has broken the House record for the longest floor speech. He has been holding the floor for more than eight hours to delay passage of the GOP megabill.

Keep on talking, Hakeem! Thank you for sharing the stories of people who will be devastated by this big, ugly bill. Thank you for delaying the vote as long as possible. This is the way to fight back.

I'm glad he didn't let them sneak this travesty past the American people at 4:00 a.m. Let them see how it was perpetrated in detail. So they remember who amputated which of the healthy limbs from the patient Uncle Sam.

Actually what he is doing is making more people aware of this bill and its consequences. The longer his speech goes on the more interest it will draw on social media.

Long, pointless speeches that accomplish nothing. They also introduce articles of impeachment that have no chance of passing … but they keep doing it over and over again. For nothing. SCOTUS literally said Trump can’t face charges or be convicted while president.

None and zero. But it needed to be done. Every punch that can be thrown needs to be thrown, even if it's not gonna land. Because to NOT do that gives the optics of acquiescence, and those optics can drain the will of people to fight. Never stop fighting. If we go down, we go down swinging.

Best part was when he read some of the Democratic amendments that were either dismissed or defeated by GOP. Gave an accurate account of how truly bad the Bill is and how cruel the GOP IS

He didn't. The goal is to stop it from passing before July 4th so that Trump couldn't spend the long weekend tanking a victory lap and so people have the weekend to contact their reps and tell them NOT to fucking pass this bill.

Politico, didn’t he talk about what is on the bill? He outlined it. Laying the groundwork for the future, so in case the electorate wakes up and Republicans claim they didn’t know what was in it, we can all say: “you were told and you had a chance to change your vote.”

GOP senators are more afraid of Felon Trump and their donor class that their voters. Time will tell if winning choice. GOP House reps face same choice. Let's see who they serve when Minority Learder Jeffries finishes speaking in support of those about to be screwed to benefit rich GOP donors.
