Find out how one man's compassion for a sick child grew into a nightly event the patients and staff of one children's hospital refer to as “the Magic Minute.” #unroutineinspiration
I fully expected the big, ugly budget to pass. No question. Still, when it happened, all the months of reading and researching hit home. And not in a good way. Maybe it was Congressman Hakeem Jeffries' impassioned 9-hour filibuster, ironically called a "MAGIC MINUTE." This feeling of sorrow and dread stems from the fact that I watched the speech rather than sleep. And I'm sure the fact that the 4th of July, Independence Day, is my favorite holiday has contributed to this feeling that my country is gone, It's not going to be the same this year due to the horror of watching ICE agents drag Americans off the streets because they "look" like immigrants. And it's going to get worse for several reasons, including the additional BILLIONS OF dollars in the Ugly Budget for ICE. And this is my opinion, the agents, the people in charge, seem to be the DUMBEST people on earth. Yes, that would be the "Puppy Killer" Noem, who does not know the definition of "habeas corpus" and the Hobo Looking Tom Hollman. Every day that passes, he looks more and more like a crazy homeless man who needs a bath, wandering the streets, looking for a free meal. They are dumb and mean, the worst combination. Thanks for letting me share my thoughts. Please subscribe. Coming up, a wrap in the ugly budget, and more on the Concentration Camp in Florida. BACKGROUND ON THE JEFFERIES "MAGIC MINUTE." THIS IS FROM WIKIPEDIA: The magic minute, or leadership minute, is a custom in the United States House of Representatives that allows party leaders to speak for as long as they wish, in contrast with other members, who have to adhere to strict time limits. Speeches one minute in length are allowed before or after legislative sessions every day. Members are asked to stay within a 300-word limit. The speeches are granted permission from the Speaker. The magic minute is distinct from the Senate filibuster. The House speaker, majority leader, and minority leader are afforded this privilege, and their speeches are considered to have taken one minute, regardless of actual length. This ensures that other members' allotted times are not taken up. The House parliamentarian has advised in response to queries regarding time limits that "it is the custom of the House to hear the leader's remarks" and that party leaders had "used a customary amount of time" in answer to parliamentary inquiries about how much time had elapsed since they began speaking.
While regular House members are limited to a 60 second speech, party leaders like Speaker-in-waiting, Hakeem Jeffries are entitled to a "Magic Minute" which allowed him last night to opine for an hour in order to delay votes on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.
Hakeem Jefferies continues to speak ahead of the US House vote on the BBB, which is expected to pass. Also, Therapeutic Thursday. That and much more on The Vince Coakley Radio Program. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
At 4:52 a.m., House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries began using his “magic minute” to delay a GOP megabill and draw attention to the human cost of Medicaid cuts. His speech features letters from Americans in all 50 states.
