It seems the bar for doing something "historic" in the House is pretty low. — Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) June 22, 2016

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. — Joe Perticone (@JoePerticone) June 22, 2016

.@NormaJTorres brings blanket out onto House floor as she sits on House floor (literally) beside other representatives. — Emily Zentner (@emilymzentner) June 22, 2016

A blanket. A blanket.

@lachlan first time someone has slept on the House floor with a blanket seems pretty historic to me…? — Stephen Port (@realstephenport) June 22, 2016

.@JoePerticone They should serve milk & cookies, then dim the lights so they can all take a taxpayer-funded nap together. — Suze (@suze109) June 22, 2016

No cookies, but Barbara Boxer brought the next best thing:

We’d call them babies, but that’d be an insult to babies.

@JoePerticone they all need passies. — Door #3 Brad Cundiff (@bradcundiff) June 22, 2016

@JoePerticone Did they bring their 'Binkys' and stuffed bears too? — (((Some Person))) (@Dawnsfire) June 22, 2016

@JoePerticone Has anyone brought a snuggie? Someone should bring a snuggie — Ioana F (@ibflorea) June 22, 2016

@JoePerticone @OuttaBaghdad4Nw Perhaps Pelosi will turn out the lights for nap time. — Semper Fi (@cscowise) June 22, 2016

One can only hope.

Update:

There are now pillows in the House chamber. Pillows. — Joe Perticone (@JoePerticone) June 22, 2016

Because of course.

So, what’s next?
