The 2 #Republicans who voted against the bill were Representatives #ThomasMassie of #Kentucky — a fiscal hawk who strongly opposes measures that would increase the federal #deficit & add significantly to the #NationalDebt, & #BrianFitzpatrick of #Pennsylvania is a #moderate from a battleground district that #Democrats are eager to flip. He had previously expressed deep reservations about cuts to #Medicaid funding.

#House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries spoke for over 8 hours & 44 minutes.

Then-Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was the previous record holder. His speech in 2021 lasted 8 hours & 32 minutes.

#Democrats chant “Hakeem! Hakeem!” as he finishes his record-breaking speech with the words: “I yield back.” They are surrounding him on the House floor, cheering & lining up for embraces.

#HakeemJeffries has passed the 7 hr mark. He has discussed how #unions & #CollectiveBargaining shaped his own life & reiterated #Democrats’ commitment to unions.

The #OneBigBeautifulBill act harms working Americans in many ways, just one of which is #unlawful #fees on Justice & Unions – it imposes a $350 fee on federal employees to file appeals w/the #MSPB, & charges unions for official time—despite being legally mandated.

Rep #HakeemJeffries has highlighted the case of a 2-year-old #US #citizen known as “VML” who was detained with her mother & sister, who both lacked legal status to be in the United States, at a routine #immigration check-in in New Orleans & subsequently deported to Honduras with no meaningful #DueProcess.

As a #UScitizen “deported” to Honduras, #VML is now effectively stateless.

Rep #HakeemJeffries of NY, the #Democratic leader, just went past the 6-hour mark on his floor speech. He condemned #Republicans for an “all-out assault on law-abiding #immigrant #families,” including #AmericanCitizens, saying it was “unconscionable, unacceptable & it’s un-American.” The #OneBigBeautifulBill includes about $175 billion for the #Trump admin to boost #immigration *enforcement* & border security.

#HakeemJeffries talked about #Republicans rollback of #Biden-era #CleanEnergy #TaxCredits. Jeffries pointed to a letter from several #HouseRepublicans who had asked for those credits to be preserved.

Jeffries has at times singled out members of #Congress whose seats #Democrats hope to flip next year. He has been particularly critical of Reps #DavidValadao of #California & #JuanCiscomani of #Arizona, who both have objected to the bill’s provisions at various points but have voted to advance it.

#House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries on the House floor during debate is reading testimony from Americans he says are worried about the impacts of this bill.

These stories come from House districts represented by #Republican lawmakers & Jeffries is calling out the representatives by name.

“This one big, ugly bill--this reckless Republican budget -- this disgusting abomination is not about improving the quality of life of the American people," Jeffries said.
