Hello, and welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I'm Haley Karinia. Thank you so much for being here. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I sound a little congested, so I apologize for that. I spent the weekend with one of my best friends from college and her family. One of her toddlers was sick, therefore... I am sick. It is all worth it though. So apologies for the congestion. We're gonna get through it. It's all gonna be good. I'm taking a lot of vitamin C. I'm getting my fluids in. We're gonna be good. But let's get into what we have on the show today. What is Congress up to during this partial government shutdown? Well, Lindsey Graham was hanging out with Mickey Mouse. And AOC, was she doing ketamine with her staff?
We're going to get into those stories. Plus, protesters gone wild, no kings kicked off again this past weekend, and it was as deranged as you would expect. Plus... 12 tons of Kit Kats have gone missing. How is it even possible? Who are the suspects? I'm going to get into it all.

You'll remember when the do-nothing Democrats made history back in November by shutting down the government for 43 days.
What are lawmakers doing during the government shutdown?
It was the 11th government shutdown in history. It was also the longest. And the reason why it was so long is because Democrats wanted to extend healthcare subsidies to illegal aliens, and Republicans were not going to do that, so they didn't. The House passed a funding package to reopen the government through the end of the year, which brings us to, you know, where we're at now. It is the new year. TSA wasn't funded in that package as part of the Democrats' efforts to shutter the Department of Homeland Security as much as they possibly can with the little power that they have. And the ongoing funding lapse at the DHS, security... That has become part of the longest partial government shutdown in U.S.
history, hitting 44 days, which brings us to today, 45 days without funding for TSA. And we've been covering this for weeks now, all the long lines, leading to then-President Trump finding a solution of sending ICE agents, Democrats' favorite, into airports for help. And despite the Democrats lying, saying that ICE agents were going to start just picking people off and shooting them. We've seen them offer water, be line holders, help sick travelers, really awful stuff. Well, in light of all of this, TMZ called on their followers to be on the lookout for any members of Congress who may be on vacation in these desperate times. So this is what they posted out to their followers. Watch.
I want to talk to everybody in our audience right now. that if anybody goes to Disney World with their family for spring break, or goes to a beach somewhere, or anywhere on vacation, and you see one of the 530 535 members of Congress, take a picture and send it to us at TMZ. We will post that picture on our website, on our social media, and we will put it on our television shows. We want to show what they are doing at your expense. And we want everybody to hear that. And we...
How did 12 tons of KitKats go missing?
You know, I go back and forth on this because I think that everyone deserves a vacation, but I also hate people in government. Like I hate people who, you know, take all of our money and all this stuff. And I just think that this is ridiculous. So in this case, I am all for this. I am all for exposing what these people are doing, where they're going, where they're off to. And TMZ caught Lindsey Graham at Disney. So they posted this. There's a photo of the senator and they caught him. He's sitting at like a back table and he's having breakfast. What it seems he's pouring some coffee with a woman. I don't know who that is, but they TMZ reached out after snapping this photo or, you know, someone sent it to TMZ.
