Dem lawmaker to host 'Real Housewives of Rhode Island' viewing party as DHS shutdown continues

Amid the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, Representative Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.) is set to host a watch party on Thursday night to celebrate the premiere of “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.” This event promises to bring a touch of glamour and excitement, even as the political landscape remains tense.

Magaziner’s invitation, shared on social media, encourages attendees to “Bring a friend, bring the drama,” suggesting a lively and engaging atmosphere for all who attend.

Co-hosted by state Representative Jackie Baginski and state Senator Hanna Gallo, the watch party will offer guests an array of specialty cocktails and the chance to win door prizes, ensuring an entertaining evening.

While lawmakers savor leisure activities at casinos, Disney World, and on international trips during their two-week recess from Capitol Hill, many DHS employees face financial uncertainty and travelers encounter extended wait times at airports.
