House hearings turn chaotic as Democrats and Republicans clash over witness testimony and censorship.

Democratic lawmakers expressed their anger at a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing about social media and censorship when two Republican witnesses testified and left without being questioned. The subcommittee chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan, dismissed the witnesses after they spoke, which led to Democrats interrupting and trying to have their testimony struck from the record. The hearing was criticized for its lack of decorum and focus, with some Democrats claiming that the witnesses presented false information. Republicans defended their actions, saying it was common practice to allow current or former members of Congress to present an opening statement without taking questions.
