07/03/25 Dems’ Last Stand: Overnight Drama on Trump’s Big Ugly Bill

From a record-breaking 7.5-hour rule vote, another 5+ hour vote to a debate capped off by a 4:53 a.m. "magic minute" floor speech by Hakeem Jeffries, we walk through every twist of the House’s overnight scramble to advance Trump’s $4.5 trillion megabill. Republicans flipped, folded, and fielded phone calls from Trump himself — while Democrats used every tool left to delay the inevitable. Boyle, Pelosi, Doggett, and Craig laid out the human cost. Jeffries stretched one “magic minute” into a record setting moment. This was the final push before the vote, and the Dems made sure America heard them.
