I am enjoying Jeffries using his magic minute
Filibusters are not allowed in the House but each party leadership has a "magic minute". I found this description of the "rules" for "magic minutes".

Things to know about @RepJeffries’ “magic minute,” the equivalent of a filibuster in the House:
💡Theoretically can last indefinitely
💡Can only be done by a party leader
💡Speaker cannot stop to take questions
💡Speaker cannot be replaced
Send him strong vibes right now!
Thanks to @RepVeasey for the tutorial 💙
