Three lawmakers have been outed for falling asleep in Congress during an overnight hearing at Capitol Hill, sparking outrage online. 

Video shows the hilarious moment Democrat Reps Debbie Dingell from Michigan and Jan Schakowsky from Illinois took a nap on Wednesday morning. 

Another clip shows Republican Rep. Blake Moore from Utah being gently shaken awake by another lawmaker after he failed to respond to a question. 

The snooze-fest came during a marathon hearing in Washington DC as lawmakers debated Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ domestic policy bill. 

Dingell, 71, was seen slumped in her seat completely unconscious while surrounded by three bottled drinks. 

Meanwhile, Schakowsky, 80, was caught snoozing in the bottom corner of a video feed showing another lawmaker speaking just inches away. 

Moore, 44, failed to respond to a question and needed waking up by a neighboring politician, as surrounding Congressmen laughed. 

The mass cross-party nap prompted a flood of criticism online. 

‘On our tax dollar – disgraceful!’ one X user raged, while others called Congress a ‘complete disgrace’. 

‘It must be exhausting to work two days a month,’ one person gibed. 

‘Why are we paying any of them??’ another fumed. 

‘This is why they never get anything done,’ one X user added. 

The DC naptime came as several House committees pulled an all-nighter to dig into the details of what Trump has called the ‘big, beautiful bill’. 

Proposals in the mammoth bill include tax cuts totaling $5 trillion, which would remove tax on tips, Social Security income and car loan interest. 

The package also makes various controversial proposals including large reductions in Medicaid health care, food stamps and green energy strategies. 

Some taxpayers also drew parallels between the tranquil setting in Congress and an incident involving Trump, 78, reportedly nodding off in court during a past hush money trial.

According to New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman, Trump found it challenging to remain alert and ended up falling asleep as the process of jury selection began in April 2024.

This assertion triggered a flood of social media hashtags and was seized upon by the Biden/Harris campaign, which has been frequently targeted by Trump’s ‘Sleepy Joe’ moniker.

But it was dismissed as ‘100 percent fake news’ by Trump’s campaign team who insisted he was the victim of a malicious media.

‘This is 100% Fake News coming from ‘journalists’ who weren’t even in the court room,’ they said in a statement.

The GOP bill being discussed overnight advanced through the House last month when lawmakers voted 216-214 to start working on it. 

Officially called THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL, the legislation is likely to linger in the House for a long time as even Republican politicians are bitterly divided over the details. 

Dueling factions of the ruling party argued over whether to cut spending by $4 billion or $1.5 trillion in April, prompting House Speaker Mike Johnson to postpone an earlier vote. 

The package has sparked the biggest official political debate over the taxes in almost a decade. 

Congress has not wrestled with such a hefty package since 2018, when Republicans approved the Trump tax cuts – but also failed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. 

The cost assessments in the latest bill are only preliminary, and they are expected to soar.
