@buercher@tooting.chJeffries is still speaking, passing the six-hour mark. The Democratic leader just indicated that he plans to keep going for at least several more hours.
Jeffries has spent much of his time reading testimonials from Americans – parents, veterans, business owners – all of whom say they would be harmed by a bill Democrats says would “explode our nation’s debt” and “devastate our social safety net”.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caThe deepest irony is a cybertruck with a Canadian Veterans PPCLI license plate.
Princess Patricia's Canadian light infantry fought WWII fascist regimes.
How many layers of blinders do you have to have on in order to be driving that truck without the weight of the grave-bound gaze of those soldiers crushing you.
It is being driven by a mustachiod bro, of course.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
On June 6, 1944, my father was hospitalized in England, recovering from shrapnel wounds inflicted during the Italian campaign, and he joked that he missed all the excitement. That "excitement" included 1074 casualties on D-Day, including 359 killed, as Canadian troops secured Juno Beach to begin the defeat of Nazi Germany. It took another 11 months of bloody battles before Allied military forced surrender.
