I've seen the photo going around online of congressman moore falling asleep, and honestly, it makes me wonder if people realize how intense those congressional hearings can get. My uncle works long shifts, and even he says it's hard to stay fully alert after hours of nonstop talking, especially if it's just budgeting numbers and procedural stuff. I read that Moore actually missed fewer votes than most other congressmen this year—he only skipped 1 out of 124 roll call votes, which is crazy impressive compared to others. That tells me he's probably working really hard and just caught a moment where his energy dropped for a second. I know from sitting through long classes or meetings that even the best of us zone out. Sometimes people use these pics to make someone look bad, but usually, it's just a quick reality check that, yeah, politicians are human too. So I don't really think we should be making a big deal about one nap unless it's an ongoing thing. Plus, it sounds like he’s got a lot of services and constituent stuff happening, so the dude is busy! Don’t let one photo rewrite the story about his work ethic.
