Nestled between headlines about Britney Spears (“Spears Sets Sail With Sons After DUI Drama”) and Tiger Woods (“The Only One Driving Is Me!!!”), the celebrity tabloid news outlet TMZ is slamming lawmakers for skipping town as the partial government shutdown stretches into its seventh week.
It’s the latest instance of the outlet taking an interest in members of Congress. TMZ executive producer Harvey Levin told NOTUS they now have a producer and a photographer circulating Capitol Hill.
“We wanted to use our platforms to show how Congress — Dems AND Republicans — have betrayed us,” said Levin.

America is being led by a mentally addled pied piper right off a cliffs edge while congress fucks around on vacation.

What a world we live in where TMZ is the only American media outlet with a backbone.

I don’t know why they’re blasting Democrats as much as Republicans, as if the minority party could have prevented the majority from voting to go into recess

I support TMZ using their incredibly invasive skills for pure chaos here.
This is what our congress is doing after they just failed horribly at their jobs and part of the government remains in a shutdown
They should not be allowed to vacation until the shutdown is resolved. They are embarrassment and failures

TMZ being the unsung hero was not on my yearly bingo card.

I’ve said this many times before – these pols should not have a moment’s peace in public. No violence no pics of kids. Point and laugh at them, cut them in line, stare (not glare) them. Servers – ask fof their order several times and then bring the wrong order; be out of every special. Do not let them enjoy concerts, ball games, any performance or activity. Take lots of photos of them wearing the ears.
They should experience life as the average American does and feel the same unease and anxiety as we do as they are the cause of most of it.

I have no say in American politics but someone should take a page out of the Vatican conclave and lock them up until a deal is reached anytime a shutdown is in effect.

Vacationing from what? Congress isn’t doing shit for this country, including working.

Heaven forbid TMZ show Graham at Disney World as he cheerleads sending your kids to die for Israel.

Congress should NOT be vacationing during War.

Coincidentally, i have a new obsession with TMZ.
They have become a heavy-weight in political reporting since the guys who used to do that just carry water for the political class.
TMZ didnt climb up to politics, politics climbed down. This should be embarrassing for those who now work for billionaires in media that once considered themselves serious people.

Lindsay Grahm publicly stated he went to Israel every other week to learn from the Mossad how to convince Trump to invade Iran. So yeah we should probably watch that childless pro-draft weirdo.

I’m glad! They should’ve been did this. Or is it a distraction because Harvey is allegedly in the files 🤔 nonetheless I’m happy by their reporting.

We pay their salaries and give them top notch healthcare. They fuck us over and take vacation days when most of their constituents can barely afford groceries let alone vacations.

To be fair here, TMZ are clearly using their power to punch up here.
I am not sayingf they don’t when they target celebrities, but this is a clear case.
And if there is one type of speech that should be protected above all others it is speaking truth to power.

You go, TMZ. At least someone is keeping our shitbag politicians accountable.

They let the Daily Mail of all people scoop them on Noem’s recent issues. They need to step their politcal game up! I want more exposure of Republican projections!

Politicians should get the celeb treatment from paparazzi since they think they are above us all and the law.

They must be busy. Congress seems to always be on vacation

I have been saying this for over 10 years. We need paparazzi for politicians.

Dude, this is DMZ’s golden era. They took the (sometimes awful) skills they gained with celebrities and applied it to something that actually matters. Wish they had done it sooner.

“Lindsey Graham was ineffective talking his colleagues into keeping the government open, but he had a great convo with Mickey Mouse Sunday … at Disney World!!!” [the outlet wrote in one story](https://www.tmz.com/2026/03/29/lindsey-graham-at-disney-world-during-shutdown/).
