Can confirm. It's not just the US either. We have similar things happening in India. The leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi wanted to talk about Modi's connection to Epstein, and about a recent (unpublished, due to lack of approval) memoir of a retired General about the Indo-China situation. But he was stopped for bogus reasons, and the parliament was prematurely adjourned.
But no one even saw the footage from the parliament session, and no one seems to care that it happened. What people do seem to care about is that Rahul interrupted some union ministers' press briefing, and they basically bolted as they didn't have any answers for him. So now everyone is calling them cowards. Not because of what happened in the parliament, but because of this memeable interaction. We are truly living in an idiocracy, just worse. At least the President Camacho seemed to genuinely care.
