USA Today: Nancy Pelosi’s all-day marathon speech sets record as longest continuous speech since at least 1909
Nancy Pelosi’s all-day speech on DREAMers is the longest continuous speech since at least 1909.
A bipartisan budget deal was reached today that could help avoid another government shutdown. While that may seem like a win, the big losers of the deal are the Dreamers. This compromise didn’t address DACA. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi protested this omission with a filibuster that ended up being one for the record books.
