I got to give it to Jeffries… 8 hours and 44 minutes is a wild wild length. Given how everything has shaken out I wouldn't be surprised to see two Nay’s from Republicans with Fitzpatrick who was the sole Republican Nay on the rule likely to vote Nay again and Thomas Massie is well himself so likely he will vote against it.

Haven’t people read entire books into the record before?
I’m a little surprised this is the longest but it’s definitely impressive.

Yes they have!!! Green eggs and ham comes to mind! That however was in the Senate. Since the Senate has a filibuster I'm not saying its easier but in the Senate during a filibuster other Members can ask questions… this gives the Member a break to eat/drink/sit down lol the House doesn't have it so Jeffries had to stand and keep going the wholeeeee time. That's what makes it remarkable

Interesting, I didn't appreciate the difference between a speech and a filibuster.

I still remember when John McCain pulled some stunt where he changed his vote at the last minute without telling any of his colleagues. I think it was a "yes" on Obamacare, or something?
I wonder if that'll happen again.

John McCain was a maverick and no one has really been able to fill that role. I would say Fetterman might be the one who could do that but he is also very outspoken and stands full chest behind what he says which in today's day and age means it would likely get out
