2:40 PM PT -- We've ID'd another legislator in the Edinburgh Castle crowd ... Michigan's Rep. Bill Huizenga is the guy in the blue jacket sitting against the wall. His spokesman told local outlet, Michigan Advance, what we'd already heard about this being a "long-planned, House Ethics-approved" trip to meet with foreign dignitaries. They left out the part about YOU paying for it, while the partial government shutdown continues.
Over two dozen members of Congress are on an overseas trip during the government shutdown ... and it's all being paid for by taxpayers while tons of federal workers go unpaid with rent due.
We've learned a whopping 30 members of Congress are on a trip to Scotland right now, and it's being funded with our tax dollars ... despite the partial government shutdown triggered by Congress failing to do its job. Now all of them have bailed and are enjoying a 2-week Spring Break. Employees of FEMA, the Coast Guard, and other agencies are not as lucky -- they're worrying about putting food on their table and keeping a roof over their heads.
BTW ... members of Congress continue to draw a paycheck, uninterrupted.
Congressman Jared Moskowitz and his colleagues are getting a shakeup ... he admits most of them don't see enough incentive to end the government shutdown, but he also knows if they don't, it might be "Out With Their Asses!"
The Representative from Florida joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live," and we asked him about the stalemate on funding DHS, the federal employees working without pay and struggling to make ends meet ... all while Congress enjoys a 2-week recess.
Moskowitz -- who's spent part of his break working the scoreboard at his son's youth basketball game -- told us members of Congress are worried about getting primaried, so they don't want to give in to the opposing party.
In other words, both sides are only concerned with themselves ... not the livelihoods of hard working Americans.
