They arrived over the weekend and their first day on the job was supposed to be today &#8212; when members of Congress return from their 2-week break.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out &#8230; members of the House aren&#8217;t coming back to work until Tuesday &#8212; gotta make sure they get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2026\/04\/01\/taxpayers-sponsor-congress-scotland-vacation\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2 full weeks off<\/a>, right?<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"continued\" class=\"continued-anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So we&#8217;re in D.C. &#8230; on the hunt for good stories. We&#8217;re also going to explore the intersection between pop culture and politics. We have a lot in store in that department!<\/p>\n<p>            Play video content<\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6d091561842f438d97894e66a2f3e948_md.jpg\" alt=\"020526_sara_jacobs_kal\" width=\"728\" height=\"410\" class=\"img-fluid\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    TMZ.com<\/p>\n<p>So lawmakers and staffers in D.C., look for Jacob, Charlie and Jakson. They are nice enough guys, generally smart and sometimes even charming.<\/p>\n<p>And check out their end-of-day show on YouTube, Twitter, Insta, Facebook and TikTok. They&#8217;ll be sitting at the TMZ card table to give you the lowdown on what they discovered. Yeah, we don&#8217;t have an office, but the card table cost $350!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TMZDC Hey Everyone, We&#8217;re Here!!!
