Video on C-SPAN shows legislators watching an 85-minute Down the Rabbit Hole video, messaging shitposts to sleeping friends, half-heartedly checking a decelerated social media feed with more European posts to skip past, restraining themselves from going to bed because it's just this one more thing and then they definitely will (certainly not now because it's not on a multiple of 30 minutes), forgetting to hydrate, and thinking about how this is the last night they'll do this and how they'll turn everything around tomorrow because they got it out of their system tonight.
