Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi set a record on the House floor Wednesday - speaking from morning until early evening on immigration and reading letters from Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients for more than eight hours - in the longest continuous speech in the House since at least 1909.

Pelosi, who is 77, began speaking at 10:04 a.m. Wednesday to address the emerging bipartisan federal spending deal in the Senate, pointing to several “Democrat priorities” included in the deal but drawing the line over the lack of a solution for so-called Dreamers whose status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy is in jeopardy after March 5.

She yielded the floor at 6:11 p.m., precisely eight hours and seven minutes after she began.
