Applaud Hakeem Jeffries for His Historic Speech

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just made history — delivering an 8-hour, 44-minute speech to defend Medicaid, SNAP, and the rights of millions of Americans. 

His marathon stand delayed the passage of Trump’s sweeping “big, beautiful bill” and gave voice to families, seniors, and vulnerable communities who would be harmed by devastating cuts.

“This bill is wrong. It’s dangerous. It’s cruel,” Jeffries declared on the House floor. “We’re going to press on until victory is won.”

While Republicans tried to ram through cuts to health care and nutrition programs, Jeffries reminded the country that Democrats are fighting for everyday Americans — and for the soul of our democracy.
