#House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries is using the so-called "magic minute" to speak for as long as he wants during debate.

Also called the "leadership minute", it is a long-standing custom in the House that permits party leaders extended debate time on the floor.

The record for the "magic minute" is >8 hours set by then #Republican Min Ldr #KevinMcCarthy in 2021 when he gave a circuitous speech against Biden's $1.75T bill.

McCarthy broke Democratic congresswoman #NancyPelosi’s 2018 record.

@tagesschau macht Friedrich #Merz einen auf #kevinmccarthy ?

Gewählt im 15. Wahlgang, um dann neun Monate später von der eigenen Partei über Fragen des Haushaltsdefizits (und des jeweiligen egos) gestürzt zu werden?

#KevinMcCarthy: "If we see an #economy where the shelves are empty, the #American public will not be happy about that."

Kara Swisher: "He's not playing 4D chess, he's eating the chess pieces."

#BillMaher on #Trump's #tariffs: "I feel like he picked a fight with a bigger bully than him and that we don't have the leverage."

#KaraSwisher: "This has been a massive gift to #China because they can go around the world and make alliances."

Even #KevinMcCarthy can't defend it.

#OnThisDay in 2023, Republican #KevinMcCarthy finally elected Speaker of the US House of representatives after 15 ballots, the most rounds of voting since 1860.

Just updated this

added #DaveRubin to my blacklist for mocking the #PaulPelosi attack, I didn’t know he did that
removed #MarkLevin from the list, in hindsight supporting #KevinMcCarthy was a bad reason to blacklist him

‘A Russian asset’: Democrats slam Trump’s pick of Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/16/trump-cabinet-tulsi-gabbard-democratic-reactions #Trumpadministration #RobertFKennedyJr #KevinMcCarthy #DonaldTrump #Republicans #USpolitics #Democrats #MattGaetz #USnews

#KevinMcCarthy says that #mattgaetz won’t be confirmed, and I love it ;

“Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) predicted Wednesday that former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general, will not get confirmed by the Senate.
Asked for his response to Trump’s Cabinet picks so far, McCarthy told Bloomberg Television in an interview, “I think the choices are very good, except one.”
