As Twitchy told you, House Democrats are staging a “sit-in” today to “demand action” on gun control. A lot of people can’t help but compare these politicians to tantrum-throwing children — and we’re not about to argue with that assessment:
There is now a blanket on the House floor. Someone brought a blanket.

.@NormaJTorres brings blanket out onto House floor as she sits on House floor (literally) beside other representatives.

A blanket. A blanket.
@lachlan first time someone has slept on the House floor with a blanket seems pretty historic to me…?

.@SenatorBoxer just arrived with granola bars. #NoBillNoBreak

We’d call them babies, but that’d be an insult to babies.
@JoePerticone they all need passies.

@JoePerticone Did they bring their 'Binkys' and stuffed bears too?

@JoePerticone Has anyone brought a snuggie? Someone should bring a snuggie

@JoePerticone @OuttaBaghdad4Nw Perhaps Pelosi will turn out the lights for nap time.

Update:
There are now pillows in the House chamber. Pillows.
— Joe Perticone (@JoePerticone) June 22, 2016
Because of course.
So, what’s next?
