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."

A black woman who "styles herself an author" has posted a social media video of her shocking rant against whites from South Africa who have been targeted for death in their own country and have been declared refugees to the United States.
"I just want to make you aware that the black people who were students during apartheid, we're grandmas and grandpas now… and we have the [air] of Gen Z, OK?" the woman states. "One more thing, I also want to let you know that our president, he has Secret Service – and you will not."
In America, she said, "black people over here are empowered."
And when they arrive they are to sit down, "don't touch nothing" and to "have the day you deserve."
The rant was posted by Diva Moore, who is described as a career coach.
The administration of President Donald Trump has fast-tracked the status of 59 Afrikaners, whites from South Africa, as refugees because their land was seized by their government without compensation.
The anti-white violence there is the result of a revolution against the minority white rule, which had existed for generations.
As a result, blacks now in charge, have decided to simply take the land belonging to whites and hand it out to blacks.
Part of the race war there now is extreme violence against whites, up to and including murder.
The Daily Mail pointed out that Moore is linked to her coaching business, where she boasts she is a "luminary in the realm of human relations" and is "the epitome of wisdom and proficiency."
The report described her comments as a "chilling threat."
It came just days after the Episcopal church in America announced it was refusing to help the white Afrikaners under a federally funded program to help migrants, through which it has accepted millions of taxpayer dollars for years.
The church said it was because the refugees are white.
Trump has explained that South Africa is running a genocide against whites, and they are being classified as refugees because they "are being killed."
On Monday, upon welcoming nearly five dozen Afrikaners to America, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce indicated: "Today, the United States sends a clear message, in alignment with the administration's America First foreign policy agenda, that America will take action to protect victims of racial discrimination. We stand with these refugees as they build a better future for themselves and their children in the United States.
"No one should have to fear having their property seized without compensation or becoming the victim of violent attacks because of their ethnicity. In the coming months, we will continue to welcome more Afrikaner refugees and help them rebuild their lives in our great country."

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi will not waste taxpayer money on those numerous "diversity, equity, inclusion" projects launched under the Joe Biden administration, according to a new report.
A Justice Department official has told Fox News those funds are now in the process of being moved to budget categories that target criminals.
"The Department of Justice under Pam Bondi will not waste discretionary funds on DEI passion projects that do not make Americans safer," the spokesman told the network.
"We will use our money to get criminals off the streets, seize drugs, and in some cases, fund programs that deliver a tangible impact for victims of crime."
Bondi's work on her first day at the DOJ included ordering officials to make certain that all DEI programs at the department were terminated.
She also ordered the elimination of DEI from the DOJ's training procedures, the report said.
Ordered removed were the programs' endless insistence on making decisions, such as hiring employees, based on race or sex factors.
Now the hiring is "solely on merit," the report said.
Bondi's own words explain what the department now is doing.
"Arresting violent terrorists, dismantling cartel networks, and rooting DEI out of American institution."
She told Fox, "We will continue working day in and day out to deliver on President Trump's Make America Safe Agenda."

In May 2025, PricewaterhouseCoopers laid off 1,500 American workers, about 3% of its U.S. workforce. This followed another reduction of 1,800 U.S.-based employees just months earlier in late 2024.
Publicly, PwC blamed "historically low attrition rates" and "overcapacity." However, the real narrative reveals a betrayal: While American workers faced layoffs, PwC intensified its investment in India.
"This was a difficult decision and we made it with care … and a deep awareness of its impact on our people," PwC claimed in a statement about the layoffs.
However, this sentiment contrasts sharply with the company's previous commitment in 2021 to create over 100,000 net new jobs over five years in "critical areas such as cyber-security, cloud, climate, transformation and supply chain."
In just three years, PwC reached three-quarters of this target, adding 6,161 jobs in FY24 and a total of 68,681 jobs over the previous two years, bringing its global workforce to more than 370,000. However, this growth appears to exclude American professionals, suggesting that the anticipated "future workforce" is increasingly foreign and displacing U.S. workers. The promise of 100,000 new jobs stands in jarring contrast with their recent U.S. layoffs.
Moreover, PwC has positioned itself within India's government-supported academic and labor framework, shifting critical operations away from the United States, which contributes significantly to its revenue.
Silent cuts, strategic realignment
Laid-off employees reported sudden notifications via vague "Time Sensitive" Microsoft Teams meetings, where they were informed of their termination, often with little to no warning. Some were on track for promotions and raises, only to be let go, while others were dismissed just months after being hired. The firm did not cite any financial crisis, global downturn or similar layoffs occurring elsewhere.
In contrast, PwC is expanding its operations in Indian cities such as Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Mumbai, transferring entire service lines, including technology, audit, tax and consulting, to Indian teams. These changes focus not on growth, but on cost-cutting, offshoring and circumventing U.S. labor standards.
As Global Advisory Head David Maras noted, "India has transformed into a strategic imperative for PwC."
PwC's new "One Consulting" model, anchored in AI, managed services and transformation programs, is now centered in India rather than the United States.
Academic deals and labor pipelines
Underlying PwC's strategy is a collaboration with India's Ministry of Education and corporate policymakers. Through "industry-academia" initiatives, companies directly partner with universities to create low-cost labor pools for global deployment.
PwC has formalized this approach through Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) abroad, such as its agreement with a corporate group in Dubai, which establishes direct pipelines of pre-trained labor for the firm. These backroom "industry-academia" partnerships appear to benefit India and multinational corporations while undermining U.S. graduates and professionals.
To underscore its deepening commitment to India, PwC recently released a report titled "Making the case for global workforce migration: A strategic blueprint to harness India's demographic dividend," outlining its vision to position India as a global labor hub. This blueprint aligns with PwC's broader shift in operations and talent strategy away from the United States.
The financial truth: Made in America, spent in India
In fiscal year 2024, PwC achieved a record global revenue of $55.4 billion, with contributions from various regions: America generated $24.3 billion, a 3.4% growth; Europe, the Middle East and Africa contributed $21.7 billion, an 11.2% increase; while the Asia-Pacific region, including India and 31 other countries, brought in only $9.3 billion, marking a 7.1% decline.
Despite the United States remaining PwC's largest revenue source, it is simultaneously where the firm is cutting jobs. Conversely, during a period of declining revenues, PwC continues hiring and investing in India while establishing new delivery models. Factors such as cheaper labor, lenient regulations, or undisclosed agreements with the Indian government may contribute to this shift.
Regardless of the reasons, one thing is clear: PwC has utilized the revenue generated in the United States to lay off American workers and expand foreign operations that serve the same American clients at lower costs. This is not theoretical capital; it's genuine revenue earned on American soil, then redirected to fund foreign operations, infrastructure and jobs.
This is not expansion; it's extraction.
PwC's U.S. layoffs, like many others, were never about "attrition." They were about labor arbitrage. The United States is being hollowed out to finance the rise of a foreign competitor.
Every U.S. layoff at PwC has a matching investment in India. Whether it's tech hubs, service lines or academic partnerships, the trend is unmistakable: Export the work, import the talent, abandon the Americans.
PwC is not the only firm following this path, but as one of the most influential global consultancies, it sets a precedent for a generation of multinationals that are restructuring labor markets without democratic oversight.
Until Americans confront this extraction model and hold companies like PwC accountable, this wealth and labor drain will not only accelerate, it will become permanent. And American workers will keep paying the price for corporate loyalty that no longer exists.

A federal judge has delivered "another blow to free speech," and constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, who has both advised Congress on key points in the Constitution and represented members in disputes, is urging an appeal.
The fight is over a student who wore a T-shirt to school with the slogan, "Let's Go Brandon."
That, Turley explained, "has become a similarly unintended political battle cry not just against Biden but also against the bias of the media. It derives from an Oct. 2 interview with race-car driver Brandon Brown after he won his first NASCAR Xfinity Series race. During the interview, NBC reporter Kelli Stavast's questions were drowned out by loud-and-clear chants of 'F*** Joe Biden.' Stavast quickly and inexplicably declared, 'You can hear the chants from the crowd, 'Let's go, Brandon!""
It was Paul Maloney, the judge in the D.A. v. Tri County Area Schools case in Michigan who used the power of his black robes to grant the school permission to censor the student's shirt.
He said vulgar and profane words are not fully protected by the First Amendment, and claimed, "If schools can prohibit students from wearing apparel that contains profanity, schools can also prohibit students from wearing apparel that can reasonably be interpreted as profane."
He said, "Removing a few letters from the profane word or replacing letters with symbols would not render the message acceptable in a school setting. … School officials have restricted student from wearing shirts that use homophones for profane words … [such as] "Somebody Went to HOOVER DAM And All I Got Was This 'DAM' Shirt.'"
The case developed when a student, "C.C.", wore a "Let's Go Brandon" slogan on a shirt to school. He was punished repeatedly, and eventually sued.
School officials clearly were "put out over the political messaging of the shirt. However, we should encourage students to be politically aware and expressive. Moreover, if schools are allowed to extrapolate profane meaning from non-profane language, it is hard to see the limits on such censorship," Turley explained.
"So what if students now wear 'Let's Go Krista' shirts? How many degrees of removal will negate the profane imputation. Does that mean that the use of 'let's go' in any shirt is now prohibited?
"C.C. and his family should continue to litigate and, if necessary, appeal this worthy case in the interests of free speech for all students," Turley explained.

Similar to significant spikes in military recruitment since President Donald Trump began his second term, applications to join the U.S. Secret Service are up roughly 214% compared to the first few months of 2024.
According to a report by Fox News Digital, the stats come from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The number of submitted applications from Jan. 20 to May 1 of last year was approximately 7,000 compared to 22,000 applicants in 2025.
In the wake of the first assassination attempt on Trump, July 13, 2024, which included several Secret Service failures, media reported on shortages of staff at the agency as well as moral issues among agents.
"For four long years, the previous administration demoralized and denied resources to our brave men and women in law enforcement, including in the Secret Service," a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
"Our country suffered the consequences of that disastrous approach. President Trump himself nearly lost his life because of it. Now, after reforming the Secret Service and providing it with the resources it needs to do its job, we are seeing a historic surge in applications. Americans naturally want to protect and serve. We simply have to let them."
According to the Fox report, the Secret Service has a total of 8,210 employees and law enforcement officers, including 3,904 special agents, 1,560 in the uniformed division, 265 technical law enforcement personnel, and 2,481 administrative, professional, and technical staff.
"I think the reality is that the Secret Service is returning to the core mission and the standards that made it great and that inspires a lot of really good people to want to be part of it," former Secret Service agent Tim Miller told Fox News Digital. "I think now under the new director, they are trying to get back to having highly qualified people that are very mission-focused."
Continued Miller: "I know when I got hired, I had been a U.S. Marine Corps officer and a police officer, it was a high standard to get hired. I think many now want to be one of the best of the best, and the Secret Service is trying to get back to that gold standard."

In the far-left state of Colorado, where the governor is homosexual, Democrats control not just the governor's office but both houses of the legislature and the state Supreme Court, which wildly tried to bar President Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot, and where lawmakers are intent on destroying the parental rights of those who don't endorse transgenderism, one school district has thrown a grenade into the political ideology.
Officials there have decided to follow the science, and that boys are boys and girls are girls.
A report at Complete Colorado confirms that officials in Falcon 49 School District, near Colorado Springs, have announced new athlete rules that follow Trump's executive orders regarding transgenderism.
It states, "there are inherent differences between boys and girls, meaning biological males and biological females," and provides that the "classification of sports team participation by biological sex is therefore necessary to preserve and promote equal opportunity for District 49's female athletes."
The Complete Colorado report said the policy is called "Preserving Fairness and Safety in Sports," and confirms, "Allowing boys to compete in girls' sports is part of a broader attempt to debase the entire category of 'woman' and transform laws intended to protect sex-based opportunities into laws that hurt girls by undermining their identity, are inherently unfair, and denigrating to their rights."
The Colorado High School Activities Association's own bylaws allow for the fiction that boys who say they are girls should be allowed to participate with girls. And shower with them.
But a spokeswoman said the district's decision won't impact the ability of its teams to compete.
Spokeswoman Amanda McClure said the state organization recognizes "the authority of local schools and districts to make decisions in accordance with their own policies and community values."
The report said, bluntly, the district has decided, that being male or female is based "solely on the individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth," and further, "athletic teams in the district will be divided into three categories: boys, girls or co-ed, and stipulates that boys cannot compete on girls' teams, girls cannot compete on boys' teams, locker rooms are not interchangeable and hotel rooms will not commingle biological boys with biological girls."
The district's decision, the report said, was based on the fact it could lose federal funding if it did not take the action.
Trump, in February, confirmed, "It is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy."
Colorado's state laws require adherence to the fiction of transgenderism, and the district currently has pending a lawsuit over those beliefs.
The report said the Falcon district "appears to be the first to unilaterally develop transgender athlete regulations in adherence to recent presidential executive orders."
Colorado's political leadership is so extreme that one legislative member likened parents who don't support transgenderism to the KKK, and Democrats in the legislature have been caught on video publicly ridiculing Christianity, including one who claimed that he may appear on Judgment Day before a "trans Jesus."

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has launched an investigation into a hospital that stands accused of forcing medical professionals to help with its abortion business.
It is the American Center for Law and Justice that confirmed the investigation into Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
And the investigation appears to have been triggered by the ACLJ's own reporting of the fight that has erupted there.
The problem is that the legal team has been fighting on behalf of pro-life medical professionals, five ultrasound technicians, who were concerned they would be forced to take part in abortion procedures that violate their constitutionally protected religious rights.
The ACLJ reported the hospital abruptly changed its policy late last year to force employees to help with abortion business operations.
"When these five ultrasound technicians expressed their concern about the hospital's new direction, they were told that refusing to comply could lead to reassignment or even termination," the team reported. "That's when the ACLJ stepped in. We sent a demand letter outlining the hospital's obligations under federal law – including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Church Amendments – which prohibit employers from discriminating against employees who object to participating in abortions on religious grounds."
The hospital then created "religious accommodations" for those five.
But that's not where the story ends," the organization reported.
"As a follow-up to our legal action, President Trump's HHS Office for Civil Rights just announced that it is initiating a compliance review into the hospital's actions and its adherence to federal conscience protection laws," the ACLJ reported.
"This kind of enforcement action is both rare and significant. It sends a powerful message to healthcare institutions across the country: You cannot force medical professionals to choose between their careers and their faith."
It was Joe Biden's administration that decided to roll back conscience protections for medical professionals, back in 2022, and that leftist agenda left "religious medical workers vulnerable."
The new move toward an investigation "shows that federal agencies still have a role to play in enforcing the law when religious medical professionals are targeted for their beliefs," the ACLJ reported.
And, the group said, "It also demonstrates the power of strategic legal advocacy."

A video released by O'Keefe Media Group has disclosed images inside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's residence on his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The defendant, previously convicted of sex crimes, was in jail in New York awaiting further court action on new allegations when he purportedly committed suicide.
The video comes from OMG and reveals "the first on-site images from within the now-infamous compound since his arrest in 2019 and subsequent death."
James O'Keefe promised that there will be more video images appearing soon.
He reported the video was taken after Epstein's 2019 arrest but before authorities sealed off access to Epstein's lair in the ocean.
"The footage shows Epstein's kitchen in what has been identified as the island's 'main mansion.' The footage depicts a minimalistic room with white walls, stainless steel appliances, and few decorations.
"Among them is a large, framed photograph: a nude infant sitting in a sink, holding what appears to be a phallic-shaped object," he reported.
O'Keefe noted, "Federal agencies have yet to bring full transparency to what happened on Jeffrey Epstein's island. Despite repeated calls for accountability, crucial evidence remains hidden and many questions left unanswered. The Department of Justice has consistently declined to comment, citing it as an ongoing investigation."
Significantly, he said, "None of the criminals in the most powerful institutions in America are held to account for anything."

Twice already officials in the state of Colorado have gone to the Supreme Court in their misplaced campaign to control the thoughts, beliefs, and religious expression of individuals in the state.
Twice they've lost, getting scolded for exhibiting "hostility" to Christianity.
And a third case yet is pending before the high court.
Colorado taxpayers already have been stung for millions of dollars in the failed ideology imposed on them by leftist leaders – a Democrat governor, Democrat majorities in the state House and Senate and an all-Democrat state Supreme Court that at one point wildly tried, and failed, to grab control of the entire 2024 presidential election by barring President Donald Trump from the ballot.
But that's not enough damage, those state officials have decided.
It is the Colorado Department of Early Childhood that now has changed policies so that a longtime Christian youth camp is being ordered to promote the anti-Christ mindset of transgenderism.
In direct violation to its religious beliefs and constitutionally protected religious rights.
"The government has no place telling religious summer camps that it's 'lights out' for upholding their religious beliefs about human sexuality," said ADF lawyer Andrea Dill. "Camp IdRaHaJe exists to present the truth of the Gospel to children who are building character and lifelong memories. But the Colorado government is putting its dangerous agenda—that is losing popularity across the globe—ahead of its kids. We are urging the court to allow IdRaHaJe to operate as it has for over 75 years: as a Christian summer camp that accepts all campers without fear of being punished for its beliefs."
The ADF announcement confirmed it has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Colorado on behalf of IdRaHaJe, which takes its name from the hymn, "I'd Rather Have Jesus."
The state policy change would, in fact, force all licensed resident camps in the state to believe and teach the fiction that boys can be girls and girls can be boys.
Such transgender ideologies exploded under the promotions adopted by Joe Biden when he was in the White House.
President Donald Trump simply decided that the position of the U.S. government is that there are two sexes, male and female, and they don't change back and forth.
For those who follow the science, such ideology in fact is a myth, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.
The camp has operated in the Bailey, Colorado, area, southwest of Denver, since 1948.
It has maintained a resident camp license since 1995.
But leftists inside the power structure in the state recently amended their rules, "requiring children's camps to allow campers to access bathing, dressing, and sleeping facilities designated to the opposite sex."
Camp officials asked for an exemption and were refused.
They serve children ages six to 17 and offer off-site backpacking and camping trips, as well as activities at the camp itself. Each year some 2,500 to 3,000 students attend the camp, whose mission is to "win souls to Jesus Christ through the spreading of the Gospel."
The camp is open to all, and parents are asked to agree to camp policies when they register their children.
The state's most recent catastrophe at the U.S. Supreme Court involved web designer Lorie Smith of 303 Creative.
She designs wedding websites, and had been ordered by the state to promote same-sex duos in her work, in violation of her deeply held Christian faith.
The Supreme Court scolded the state for its agenda to violate the First Amendment in the case.
And a statement from ADF explained in that case, "The government can't force Americans to say things they don't believe, and Colorado officials have paid and will continue to pay a high price when they violate this foundational freedom.
"For the past 12 years, Colorado has targeted people of faith and forced them to express messages that violate their conscience and that advance the government's preferred ideology. First Amendment protections are non-negotiable. Billions of people around the world believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman and that men and women are biologically distinct. No government has the right to silence individuals for expressing these ideas or to punish those who decline to express different views."
The state earlier was handed a Supreme Court scolding over its "hostility" to Christians when the justices decided the fight in favor of baker Jack Phillips, who also had been ordered by the state to promote same-sex weddings and such.
He, too, had declined to participate in the state's leftist beliefs and ideology because doing so would violate his Christian faith.
