In an unprecedented display of commitment to democracy (and, let’s be honest, their own caffeine comas), Senate Democrats hosted their first-ever “Senate Sleepover” this week, complete with political pillow fights and a buffet of snacks that would make even the most seasoned intern weep with envy. The main event? A dramatic all-night rant-a-thon against Russell T. Vought, President Trump’s budget buddy and the mastermind behind the infamous Project 2025. As night fell, senators traded their power suits for snazzy pajamas adorned with “Resist” patterns, though some opted for “Vote No” onesies, which they insisted were more comfortable for marathon speaking sessions. “Nothing says ‘I care about healthcare’ like flannel,” remarked one senator, stuffing his pockets with mini marshmallows for the inevitable hot cocoa break. With a steady supply of coffee and snacks, the Senate floor transformed into a chaotic mix of democracy and debauchery. One senator even brought in a DJ—arguably the most unexpected addition to a Senate session—who dropped the beats between speeches, leading to spontaneous dance-offs. Some senators even tried their hand at freestyling against Vought's budget proposals, an entertaining (if utterly ineffective) approach to political discourse. “Honestly, who needs cots?” exclaimed a senator bouncing on a bean bag chair as he chugged an energy drink. “This is way more fun than the last filibuster. I haven't felt this alive since we voted on avocado toast tax exemptions!” As the hours dragged on, the rants varied from impassioned speeches about the dangers of tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy to wild accusations about Vought colluding with garden gnomes. One senator whipped out a PowerPoint presentation detailing the “Top 10 Reasons Why Vought Should Not Lead the Budget Office,” with a particularly dramatic slide this senator titled “Gnomes Aren’t Always Good Even if They’re Cute.” When the sun rose and the caffeine buzz began to fade, the Senate Democrats emerged bleary-eyed yet victorious, vowing that they had sent a powerful message to the GOP. “If you thought we were going to sleep through this confirmation, you were wrong,” chirped a delighted senator, still clutching a half-eaten granola bar. “We’re just getting started!” As for Russell T. Vought? He was last seen hiding behind a stack of budget reports, nervously glancing at a nearby gnome with what some suspected was trepidation.
