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.
Kristi Noem's cross-dressing husband might have been exposed by an undocumented immigrant seeking retribution overPresident Trump's Department of Homeland Security policies.
Here's the deal ... Axios White House reporter Marc Caputo posted on X Tuesday that he received a "weird" tip in February about Bryon Noem's secret gender bending impulses, which include photographing himself wearing huge fake breasts and pink spandex shorts.
But, get this ... Caputo says the tipster was "an immigrant sex worker" who was possibly in the country illegally, and "wanted to go public about Noem’s husband using her services online -- it was vengeance for DHS’s immigration enforcement."
A man in Massachusetts has been arrested after allegedly making threatening remarks toward President Donald Trump on Facebook ... the Department of Justice announced Wednesday.
Andrew D. Emerald -- a 45-year-old man from Great Barrington, MA was indicted by a federal grand jury on eight counts of interstate transmission of threatening communications.
According to authorities ... from May to July 2025 Emerald "intentionally made eight separate Facebook posts in which he threatened to injure President Trump."
Prince Harrywas caught sending some seriously flirty Facebook messages to a Daily Mail reporter, court documents show.
The Telegraph reported that the Duke of Sussex had discussed "movie snuggles" and sent virtual kisses to Mail on Sunday reporter Charlotte Griffiths.
Before you panic ... no, Meghan Markledoesn't need to be concerned. This reportedly went down long before they got together -- between December 2011 and January 2012.
Congressman Jared Moskowitz played Father Time at his son's basketball game Tuesday, as federal workers were running out of time to thwart bill collectors.
The Representative from Florida was the timekeeper at Pine Trails Park in Parkland, Fla. ... as his 12-year-old son played hoops against another pint-sized team in a playoff game.
Moskowitz had double duty -- keeping time AND handling the scoreboard. He was true to form -- what with Congress's bad timing, taking a 2-week Spring Break after failing to reopen the government -- he messed up the clock by neglecting at one point to hit the start button. We're told members of both teams yelled at him to DO HIS JOB!
4/1 8:52 AM -- A spokesperson for Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden tells TMZ ... "DVO is joining more than 30 other members of Congress on a delegation that was pre-approved by the House Ethics Committee months ago. The trip focuses on economic development, foreign partnerships, and business engagement, including meetings with members of Parliament and other international officials."
This means the trip is being funded by the government ... aka, you're paying for it.
Pack your kilts, 'cause a few members of Congress are takin' in the sights of Scotland!
Two sources who work on The Hill were at the Edinburgh Castle when they spotted the members in a group that was taking a tour. They say they believe the members are part of a Congressional Delegation (CODEL), adding that it's curious, because they say CODELS are usually canceled when there's even a partial government shutdown.
U.S. Congressman Seth Magaziner is busy putting the finishing touches on his 'Real Housewives of Rhode Island' watch party ... but says he'd happily skip it, if called back to DC to end the government shutdown.
Rep. Magaziner finally addressed the controversial party he's co-hosting Thursday for the Bravo show's premiere ... an event that's going down as thousands of federal employees aren't getting paid due to the shutdown.
His spokesperson told WPRI ... Magaziner's been pushing for Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to call the House of Representatives back into session to pass the bill, which would partly fund the Department of Homeland Security, the Senate signed off on last week.
9:30 AM PT -- The Justices have wrapped the oral arguments, which President Trump only heard half of since he left the court after his side was done arguing.
The Prez did find some time to send a message out on Truth Social after he left the court -- doubling down on his stance.
Donald Trump is going where no other sitting president has gone ... beelining it from the White House to the Supreme Court to watch oral arguments in a case, and what he'll hear will almost certainly anger him.
The President has arrived at SCOTUS to hear arguments on birthright citizenship ... something rooted in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, and something DT wants to 86.
In case you forgot, Trump signed an Executive Order hours after he was sworn in for his second term, putting the kibosh on birthright citizenship, which guarantees, in most situations, that someone born in the U.S. automatically becomes a citizen.
Police don't typically find dead bodies in their patrol cars parked outside headquarters ... but this was not a typical day for these cops.
Officers from the Azusa Police Department discovered the body of 37-year-old Eric Valencia decomposing in the backseat of one of their police vehicles.
The department released body cam footage of the officers making the grisly discovery on the morning of March 26, and yeah ... they had the same question you do right about now: How in the world did Valencia end up inside the police car?
The Texas judge going viral for all the wrong reasons has now demanded that an attorney appear before him in court after the attorney suggested he apologize for being flat-out nasty to an IT worker.
We told you all about it -- Judge Nathan J. Milliron -- who sits on the bench of the Texas 215th District Court -- was rude to an IT tech who dealt with an issue in his courtroom. Instead of thanking him, Milliron demanded he speak to the IT tech's supervisor ... seemingly because he didn't like his comments about the problem.
Watch this pompous, arrogant judge with his elitist attitude berate an IT worker who was trying to help him.

After the exchange, Attorney James Stafford reached out to Milliron per emails obtained by Houston Public Media. Stafford reportedly wrote ... "I hope you issued him an apology for the way you treated him. I hope you were just having a bad day and this is not your typical judicial temperament. Have a great weekend."
President Trump's administration is seeking answers from Spain over a woman's voluntary death.
Noelia Castillo Ramos voluntarily underwent a euthanasia procedure earlier this month ... and now The New York Post is reporting Trump's State Department is instructing the U.S. Embassy in Madrid to open a probe into the matter.
As we reported ... Noelia's tragic decision to opt for euthanasia at age 25 came after a past suicide attempt left her paralyzed and in chronic pain. She reportedly jumped from a fifth-floor building after an alleged sexual assault.
Dayton James Webber -- the quadruple amputee who is accused of shooting another man to death in his car -- may have done so after an argument over a gun and a fight about a woman ... TMZ has learned.
As you know ... Webber was arrested for the murder of Bradrick Michael Wells last Sunday. Cops say eyewitnesses told them Webber shot Wells in Maryland, then asked them for help pushing his body out of the car. Officers say these eyewitnesses told them they refused, and they got out of Webber's car before he drove off. He was later arrested in Virginia.
TMZ's call for pics of Congress members on spring break is nonpartisan, and even though Rep. Rich McCormick does think one party's more responsible for the shutdown ... he's also seen enough in DC to get why voters are fed up.
The U.S. Congressman from Georgia joined us Tuesday on "TMZ Live," and he went back and forth with Harvey Levin on what compromises both sides of the aisle should be willing to make to strike a deal to end the current shutdown.
Rich eventually concedes ... but says even if he runs our suggestions up the flagpole, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will instantly reject them.
Former Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem is speaking out over allegations her husband, Bryon Noem, is a cross-dresser who takes selfies wearing oversized fake boobs.
Kristi's camp responded to a salacious story published Tuesday by The Daily Mail ... telling The New York Post she's "devastated" and "blindsided."
The statement reads, "Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time."
The attorney prosecuting Tyler Robinson in the case concerning Charlie Kirk's killing tells TMZ the bullet matching test results were inconclusive ... but that doesn't remove Tyler from suspicion.
Attorney Christopher Ballard tells us, "Generally when a bullet fragment analysis comes back as inconclusive, that means the fragment did not contain enough detail for the examiner to say one way or the other. There's just not enough there to determine whether the bullet was fired by a particular firearm. We have ample evidence to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that Tyler Robinson committed this murder and we will present some of that evidence at the upcoming preliminary hearing -- and then we will present all of that evidence at the trial."
As we reported ... Tyler's defense team argued there’s a discrepancy between the ballistic evidence and the weapon prosecutors say is connected to Robinson.
A man seen getting brutally beaten while dressed as an ICE agent at a protest in Hawaii is NOT with the feds … this according to the Department of Homeland Security.
A DHS spokesperson tells TMZ ... “This person is NOT an ICE agent and is not connected to DHS in any way."
The man -- who got his butt whooped by a bunch of people over the weekend in Waikiki on video -- could now get slapped with charges ... with DHS telling us, “Anyone caught impersonating a federal immigration agent will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
