At least three members of Congress have been caught on camera sleeping Wednesday morning during debate over President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful' domestic policy bill.
U.S. Reps. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., and Blake Moore, R-Utah, were pulling an all-nighter when they appeared to go comatose.
"At least it's bipartisan," quipped Harris Faulkner of Fox News.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who says he holds the record for the longest speech ever given in the House, told Faulkner: "I give them the benefit of the doubt on this one," adding, "The Democrats are playing games to try to delay" the bill.
Some reaction online includes:
"Sleep on your own damn time!! Get to f'ing work and do something for America!"
"I just assumed they all were since they never seem to get anything done."
"These are elected representatives and they think it's funny to fall asleep at work. They don't care about you."
"Absolutely embarrassing. Probably still better than her being awake though."
"TERM LIMITS!! Her term is over. These people get paid for sleeping and ripping us off."
"It must be exhausting to work two days a month."
"You work 3 days a year. The least you can do is stay awake for them. What a gross government."
"Let him sleep. He'll do less damage."
"She is within earshot of the person running the meeting. He should bang on the table and state her name loudly and wake her a** up! If I slept on my job I would lose my job."
"Does anyone actually believe that any of those politicians are working for the American people? Elon needs to DOGE congress and remove 90% of them."
"Look, sometimes when your know you can't get fired … why not take a five … ten, hour long break?"
"Incredible props to the camera operator."
