Tap title to read story
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a six-hour filibuster against President Trump's tax cut and spending bill. He used the 'magic minute' rule to delay a final vote, highlighting the bill's negative impacts on Medicaid, SNAP, and immigration. Jeffries decried the bill as an "immoral document" that will harm millions, particularly seniors and the disabled, citing the Congressional Budget Office's projection of 11.8 million losing health insurance. Republicans defended the bill as reforming wasteful programs, while the Trump administration disputed the CBO's analysis.
