数万名国土安全部（DHS）雇员正努力维持生计，而在这场创纪录的政府停摆期间，部分国会议员似乎仍在照常行事。
两党议院均于周末开始为期两周的复活节休会，而非留在华盛顿解决资金僵局。此举预计将这场已持续46天的创纪录停摆延长至4月中旬。
与此同时，部分议员被拍到外出度假，在国会资助的行程中自拍，或是在奢华赌场酒吧社交。
南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆上周六被TMZ拍到在迪士尼世界，引发争议。
这位南卡罗来纳州议员被拍到手持一款售价40美元的“小美人鱼”主题泡泡棒。目击者告诉TMZ，格雷厄姆当时正帮同行的孩子拿着玩具，孩子去洗手间了。
这位有影响力的共和党参议员还被看到和一家人一起排队乘坐太空山过山车，并在迪士尼当代度假村用餐。
格雷厄姆在向TMZ发表的声明中指责民主党应为当前的停摆负责，并补充称他曾多次投票支持国土安全部拨款法案，但都被参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默阻挠。
“上周五我受邀前往南佛罗里达与特朗普政府官员史蒂夫·威特科夫等人会面，讨论沙特阿拉伯和以色列关系正常化的可能性，”格雷厄姆告诉该媒体，“之后我去奥兰多见朋友，现在已经回到南卡罗来纳州了。”
“我曾七次投票支持全额为政府拨款。去叫民主党人出来负责吧，”他补充道。
TMZ在发起征集活动，邀请民众提供议员在计划休会期间度假或休闲的线索后，发布了这些照片。
这些照片引发了公众愤怒，部分原因在于——尽管议员们可以选择推迟领取薪水，直到停摆结束，但他们每年17.4万美元的基本工资仍在照常发放。
与之形成鲜明对比的是，美国海岸警卫队、联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）、移民及海关执法局（ICE）、美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）以及网络安全与基础设施安全局（CISA）的部分雇员，要等到国土安全部资金恢复到位后才能领到薪水。
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利夫特周一表示，特朗普希望议员们取消休会，“全额拨款并重新开放国土安全部”。
受困的运输安全管理局（TSA）雇员周一开始收到补发工资。此前在停摆的前六周，他们无偿在岗工作，这是根据唐纳德·特朗普总统的一项行政命令执行的。据国土安全部高级官员透露，停摆期间已有超过500名TSA雇员辞职。
科宁抨击议员使用机场快速通道，TSA停摆期间排队队伍变长
犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李和佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特已呼吁参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党参议员约翰·桑恩取消休会，召回参议员返回华盛顿。不过，这两位议员均未出席周一参议院的形式主义会议。
尽管这场46天的停摆看不到明确的结束迹象，部分议员仍为此次休会辩护。
“你们很清楚，我们并没有放假，”特拉华州民主党参议员克里斯·孔斯周一对记者表示，“我们每天都在本州开展工作。对我们大多数人来说，这段时间正好可以往返选区，会见选民，倾听他们的诉求。”
众议院监督委员会资深民主党议员、加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗伯特·加西亚上周六被TMZ拍到在奢华的拉斯维加斯枫丹白露度假村的赌场酒吧内。
加西亚此次拉斯维加斯之行前，刚在周五晚投票反对一项为期两个月的国土安全部拨款延期法案。这位加利福尼亚州民主党议员此前曾三次投票反对年度国土安全部拨款法案，理由是他反对在没有改革的情况下为特朗普的非法移民打击行动提供资金。
“说实话，我并不介意TMZ这次的报道，”照片在X平台流传后，加西亚写道，“就像报道里说的，我父亲在拉斯维加斯住了15年，我刚和他吃完午饭。我尽量抽空去看他。”
“就像我几天前说的，议长迈克·约翰逊根本不该让我们所有人都回家，”加西亚补充道。
此外，罗德岛州民主党众议员塞思·马格齐纳计划联合举办一场观看派对，观看Bravo电视台《罗德岛娇妻》的首映式，TMZ报道称。
格雷厄姆、加西亚和马格齐纳的办公室均未立即回复置评请求。

部分议员还在国土安全部资金停摆期间参与国会资助的海外出访。
新罕布什尔州民主党参议员珍妮·沙欣、北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯、犹他州共和党参议员约翰·柯蒂斯以及内华达州民主党参议员杰基·罗森组成国会代表团前往台湾，以加强美台关系。
据参议院外交关系委员会民主党在社交媒体上发布的照片显示，该代表团周一与台湾地区领导人赖清德及其他台湾官员合影时面带笑容。

Delta CEO blasts Congress over TSA delays, calls shutdown fallout ‘travesty’

While tens of thousands of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees are struggling to make ends meet, some members of Congress appear to be going about their business as usual during the record-breaking government shutdown.
Instead of staying in Washington to resolve the funding stalemate, both chambers commenced a two-week Easter recess over the weekend, a move that is expected to prolong the record-breaking 46-day shutdown until mid-April.
In the meantime, some lawmakers have been spotted on vacation, posing for selfies on congressionally-sponsored trips and socializing in ritzy casino bars.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., sparked controversy after being spotted by TMZ at Disney World over the weekend.

CORNYN TARGETS LAWMAKERS’ AIRPORT FAST PASS AS TSA LINES GROW DURING DHS SHUTDOWN
The South Carolina lawmaker was captured holding a “Little Mermaid”-themed bubble wand retailing for $40. Eyewitnesses told TMZ that Graham was holding the toy for a child while she went to the bathroom.
The influential Republican senator was also seen waiting in line with a family to ride Space Mountain and dining at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Graham blamed Democrats for the ongoing shutdown in a statement to TMZ, adding that he had repeatedly voted for DHS spending bills filibustered by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
“I was invited to a meeting in South Florida on Friday with Trump official Steve Witkoff and others to talk about the possibility of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel,” Graham told the outlet. “I went to Orlando to meet friends after. I’m already back in South Carolina.”
“I voted 7 times to fully fund the government. Call a Democrat,” he added.

TMZ’s reporting came after the outlet asked for Americans to send tips about lawmakers on vacation or engaging in leisure during the planned recess period.
The pictures have sparked outrage, partly because lawmakers — who earn a base salary of $174,000 per year — are still receiving their paychecks, though members can elect to defer their salary until the shutdown ends.
In sharp contrast, certain individuals employed by the U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are not expected to receive salaries until DHS funding is restored.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that Trump wants lawmakers to cancel the recess and “to fund and reopen the Department of Homeland Security entirely.”
The embattled Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workforce began to receive back pay on Monday after reporting to work without pay during the first six weeks of the shutdown, following an executive order from President Donald Trump. More than 500 TSA agents quit during the funding lapse, according to senior DHS officials.

Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rick Scott, R-Fla., have called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., to cancel recess and call senators back to Washington. However, neither lawmaker was present during the Senate’s pro forma session on Monday.
Some lawmakers have defended the planned recess, despite the 46-day shutdown having no clear end in sight.
“You know very well that we’re not off,” Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., told reporters Monday. “We’re working every day in our home states. For most of us, this is when we have time to go up and down our state and to meet with our constituents and listen to their concerns.”
Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the influential House Oversight Committee, was spotted at a casino bar by TMZ over the weekend at the luxurious Fontainebleau Las Vegas resort.
Garcia’s Vegas visit came after he voted against a two-month DHS funding extension late Friday. The California Democrat had previously voted against a full-year DHS spending bill three times, citing his opposition to funding Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown efforts absent reforms.

“Actually, I don’t mind what TMZ is doing here,” Garcia wrote on X following the images’ circulation. “Like the story says my dad has lived in Vegas for 15 years and I had just finished lunch with him. I try to see him whenever I can.”
“And like I said a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson should have never sent us all home,” Garcia added.
Additionally, Rep. Seth Magaziner, D-R.I., is planning to co-host a watch party for the premiere of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” TMZ reported.
The offices of Graham, Garcia and Magaziner did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Some lawmakers are also participating in congressionally sponsored trips abroad during the DHS funding lapse.
Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., Thom Tillis, R-N.C., John Curtis, R-Utah, and Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., traveled to Taiwan as part of a congressional delegation to strengthen U.S.-Taiwan ties.
The group was seen smiling while taking photos with Taiwan President Lai Ching-te and other Taiwanese officials on Monday, according to images released on social media by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrats.
