I apologize if this has already been posted, but Rep Largon (D-CT) just ripped the GOP a new one during the House Committee to Discuss DOGE Oversight.
Here's short clip from bsky:
Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

(2,097 posts)I have epilepsy and, to me, it looked like Rep John Larson experienced a complex partial seizure. That's exactly what they look like, sort of stopping and staring into space and sometimes smacking of lips. You can see him sort of move his tongue inside of his mouth and move his lips.
It's not uncommon to have a breakthrough seizure even if on medication. Especially if switched to a generic since the amount of active ingredient is questionable. That is why I buy brand name through an online Canadian pharmacy.
EDIT: I just saw that Rep. John Larson already spoke on this and confirmed it was a complex partial seizure. I didn't realize he'd already made a statement.

(2,097 posts)Very simliar. I think petit mal is the "old" name and is now more commonly referred to as complex partial.

I know they mostly pay attention to their constituents, but I can't believe they wouldn't be heartened by positive feedback from others on such weghty issues. I m h o.
