GOP Leaders Keep Congress Out of Session Amid DHS Shutdown Pressure
Republican leaders in Congress are not recalling members from spring recess despite the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown, which has left thousands of federal workers unpaid. Public scrutiny has increased after photos of lawmakers like Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. Robert Garcia traveling during the crisis surfaced. Internal GOP pressure is mounting, with some members demanding an end to recess, while leadership blames the other chamber for the impasse. The House and Senate have passed conflicting funding bills, and President Trump has urged a return, but no agreement is in sight. The shutdown continues with no clear resolution, highlighting congressional dysfunction.
