Christmas Vacation and Congress: 'We're all in misery' amid the ongoing DHS shutdown
If you thought the Congressional appropriations process couldn’t get any worse, I present you with 2026. And perhaps beyond.
The Department of Homeland Security remains shut down, running on pocket lint, nickels lost between the couch cushions and faded S&H Green Stamps (look ‘em up, kids). Congress hasn’t funded DHS for two months. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., torqued himself into a political pretzel – opposing, then supporting, then not acting on – a Senate-approved package to fund most of DHS.
As we always say, it’s about the math, and when it comes to DHS money, it appears that lawmakers have locked a box to which they lack the combination. There is apparently no sequence of votes in the House and Senate which can crack the DHS safe as a traditional, standalone appropriations bill.
REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: WHY TRUMP MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FORCE CONGRESS BACK OVER THE DHS SHUTDOWN
Now, Congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump are turning to one of the few methods which might work to fund DHS – something called budget reconciliation.
The Congressional budget reconciliation process is not customarily used for appropriations bills – although lawmakers can plug the measure with money to spend on federal programs. However, reconciliation is inoculated from filibusters. Thus, Republicans don’t need 60 votes. They can – ostensibly – pass a DHS bill on its own without help from Democrats if they hold their narrow coalitions together in both the House and Senate.
Congressional Republicans intend to stuff this reconciliation package with only money for ICE and Customs and Border Patrol. Nothing for disaster aid. Nothing for farmers. Nothing about the SAVE America Act. The president agrees. The goal is to finish this by June 1 – months after the latest DHS funding lapse.
But it’s more complicated than that.
GOP INFIGHTING REPLACES CLASH WITH DEMS, DERAILS PATH TO END HISTORIC DHS SHUTDOWN
The House and Senate must take a number of steps to approve a shell of a budget resolution in order to have the filibuster-proof reconciliation tool available to them. Republicans undertook a similar endeavor last winter and spring. It was absolutely harrowing and consumed months before finally approving the One, Big, Beautiful Bill, via reconciliation. Republicans don’t have that kind of time now. Then again, DHS has either been unfunded or held together by interim spending bills since last October.
We haven’t even mentioned how Trump is using a somewhat dubious authority to pay TSA workers and others from other funds – without Congressional approval.
That leaves some to question why the administration didn’t do this to start with. But the bigger issue is an alarming pattern of Congress ceding its most precious prerogative – the power of the purse – to the executive branch. That’s to say nothing as to whether Trump’s gambit to pay workers is even Constitutional. And, it establishes a precedent which may be hard to ignore during other funding impasses.
However, here’s the bigger problem: the Congressional paralysis to pass appropriations bills on a timely basis. That’s been an issue for years now.
Historically, Congress has missed the Oct. 1 fiscal deadline, relying on "Continuing Resolutions" (CR’s) which simply renew all funding on a temporary basis. Or, lawmakers cobble together a set of the 12 annual spending bills in a "minibus" appropriations package. Lawmakers who might oppose an individual bill are willing to support a group of bills – because there’s something in there which they like or support.
But turning to reconciliation as a way out of the appropriations box canyon is also another precedent which likely agitates Congressional appropriators. Sure. They’ve done that before. And in this instance, it might finally get DHS funded. But what does this mean for the future?
Which brings us to Oct. 1, 2026. That’s when the federal government pivots from Fiscal Year 2026 to start Fiscal Year 2027.
Congress has struggled to fund the federal government since early 2025, when it began work on appropriations bills for this year. The FY ’26 funding crisis – which spawned the record-breaking, 43-day, government-wide shutdown in the fall, another partial government shutdown last winter and the current DHS stalemate – has been an issue since lawmakers were working on bills for this cycle around this time LAST spring. So how pray tell is Congress going to avoid a shutdown THIS autumn for FY ’27?
In fact, few are even speaking about that possible peril – because no one can wrap their heads around the present appropriations saga. And it’s possible that this fall’s problems could be worse than last fall’s impasse. The reason? The midterm elections hit in November. It’s doubtful that either side will be willing to make much of a deal right before voters head to the polls.
The scenarios are frightening to fathom, so people are just kind of ignoring them.
SEE IT: LAWMAKERS CAUGHT ON VACATION AMID RECORD-BREAKING SHUTDOWN WHILE DHS WORKERS GO UNPAID
We have entered a new period of semi-perpetual funding standoffs – exacerbated by mistrust between the sides, narrow Congressional margins in both the House and Senate, parliamentary mathematical equations which don’t balance and an unwillingness by Trump to broker deals or even negotiate with Democrats.
Yes. They have options to cover DHS into next year, but it’s the other 11 spending bills which could be problematic.
Imagine trying to pass a defense spending bill which has a price tag 44% higher than the one last year? Or tacks a bunch of money on for the war in Iran?
Where’s the vote combination to approve a CR, let alone an individual bill? Will Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., be willing to help Republicans hit the 60 vote threshold to fund things? Especially if he sees the possibility of emerging again as Majority Leader? Probably not.
And let’s say Democrats win the House, Senate or both in the fall? Do you really think these spending standoffs get better over the final two years of Trump’s term?
Back to Chevy Chase and Clark Griswold. There’s a second part to that iconic quotation from Christmas Vacation: "We’re at the threshold of hell!" he declares.
Pretty funny, but not if you’re trying to keep the government open after the adventures of the past year. This is not hilarious to millions of federal workers who suffer from paycheck PTSD. Another round of spending mayhem could only erode further trust between federal workers and their employers. It will damage morale – which is already subterranean. That’s to say nothing of courting people to work for the government.
Yes. Things can get a lot worse. The political schisms are deep and the vote matrices to pass the bills simply don’t exist.
It may be spring, but the Christmas Vacation movie provides insight into where we stand with the Congressional appropriations bills: "It’s Christmas and we’re all in misery," declares Ellen Griswold, played by Beverly D’Angelo.
Yeah. And wait to see what Congress has in store for THIS Christmas.
Eric Swalwell accused of paying nanny with campaign funds while she lacked work authorization
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is facing allegations he violated immigration and employment laws to keep a live-in nanny in the U.S., including claims he paid her with campaign funds while she lacked work authorization, according to two recently filed complaints.
A complaint filed Tuesday with the Department of Labor alleges that Swalwell and his wife, Brittany Swalwell, lied to keep their babysitter, Amanda Barbosa, employed, according to The New York Post.
In a separate complaint filed in February with the Department of Homeland Security by California filmmaker and political activist Joel Gilbert, first reported by The Post, Swalwell is accused of paying his nanny with campaign funds for roughly two years while she allegedly did not have valid work authorization.
"Barbosa appears in numerous social media photos with the Swalwell family throughout 2023 and 2024, indicating continued close association and ongoing childcare responsibilities despite the absence of known lawful work authorization," the DHS complaint states.
MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS DOG SWALWELL AS DEM RIVALS SEIZE OPENING IN CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S RACE
Barbosa was first hired by Swalwell — who is running for California governor — in 2021 after coming to the U.S. from Brazil on an au pair visa, according to The Post.
Barbosa was paid $3,914 in campaign funds in 2021 and received $46,930 in 2022, according to Federal Election Commission data.
According to a labor certification application reviewed by The Post, Swalwell began the process of sponsoring Barbosa for a green card in December 2022 as her visa was set to expire.
Barbosa later enrolled at a community college and was not allowed to work off campus under student visa rules, The Post reported. However, social media photos appear to show her interacting with Swalwell’s children at family events throughout 2023 and 2024.
FEC records reviewed by the outlet show that $52,262 in campaign expenses for "childcare" were reimbursed to Swalwell, which the complaint alleges was a workaround to keep Barbosa employed while she was not authorized to work in the U.S.
The Department of Labor told The Post the labor certification was approved in 2024. In 2025, Barbosa received $38,905 in campaign funds from Swalwell, according to FEC data.
The complaints surfaced as Swalwell faces separate allegations of sexual assault.
The San Francisco Chronicle first reported allegations from a former staffer, and three additional women later spoke to CNN with misconduct claims.
Swalwell has denied the allegations and faced calls to drop his gubernatorial bid.

"A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations, and I thought it was important that you see and hear from me directly. These allegations of sexual assault are flat-out false," Swalwell said in a video posted Friday.
"They are absolutely false. They did not happen. They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything that I have."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Swalwell's congressional office for comment, as well as the Department of Labor, Department of Homeland Security and Federal Election Commission.

Vance says US-Iran talks end without deal after 21 hours of negotiations
Vice President JD Vance said Sunday that high-stakes talks between the U.S. and Iran ended without a deal after Iranian officials refused to accept American terms.
Speaking during a press conference from the Serena Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan, Vance said Iran has "chosen not to accept our terms."
"The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement," Vance said. "And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America."
The vice president said talks with Iranian officials lasted 21 hours, describing them as "substantive discussions," but adding the U.S. was unwilling to compromise on its "red lines."
VANCE WARNS IRAN WILL 'FIND OUT' TRUMP IS 'NOT ONE TO MESS AROUND' IF CEASEFIRE DEAL FALLS APART
"So we go back to the United States, having not come to an agreement. We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on," Vance added. "And we've made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms."
Fox News Digital’s Preston Mizell asked Vance if he had been in contact with President Donald Trump during the talks, and the vice president said he had been "consistently."
"I don't know how many times we talked to him — a half dozen times, a dozen times over the past 21 hours," Vance said, adding that the U.S. team was also communicating with other members of the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
GEN JACK KEANE 'SKEPTICAL' THAT IRAN CEASEFIRE WILL HOLD, WARNS TEHRAN WILL 'DELAY AND OBFUSCATE'
"So, look, we were constantly in communication with the team because we were negotiating in good faith," Vance said. "And we leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We'll see if the Iranians accept it."
Vance arrived in Pakistan early Saturday to lead high-stakes negotiations with Iran aimed at preserving a fragile ceasefire announced by Trump earlier this week and preventing a broader regional war.
Vance was joined by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, as part of a senior delegation engaging Iranian officials in Islamabad.
TRUMP AGREES TO 2-WEEK CEASEFIRE IF IRAN OPENS STRAIT OF HORMUZ
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf were negotiating for Iran.
While Vance declined to elaborate on which terms Iran rejected, he said the U.S. sought assurances that Iran would not develop a nuclear weapon.
"The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon," Vance said. "That is the core goal of the president of the United States. And that's what we've tried to achieve through these negotiations."
The talks came over a month after the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28.

Pope Leo calls out 'delusion of omnipotence' fueling Iran war in vigil for peace at St. Peter's Basilica
Pope Leo in a Saturday vigil for peace, called out the "delusion of omnipotence" he claimed is fueling war.
"In prayer, our limited human possibilities are joined to the infinite possibilities of God. Thoughts, words and deeds then break the demonic cycle of evil and are placed at the service of the Kingdom of God," he said in a prayer service at St. Peter’s Basilica.
He continued, "A Kingdom in which there is no sword, no drone, no vengeance, no trivialization of evil, no unjust profit, but only dignity, understanding and forgiveness. It is here that we find a bulwark against that delusion of omnipotence that surrounds us and is becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive."
In posts on X and during the prayer vigil, the pontiff also warned that war "divides" while hope and faith unite humanity.
TRUMP’S LAST-MINUTE DELAY: WHY HE WAS NEVER GOING TO OBLITERATE IRAN IN THE FIRST PLACE
"Enough of the idolatry of self and money. Enough of the display of power. Enough of war," he wrote. "True strength is shown in serving life."
The archbishop of Tehran, Belgian Cardinal Dominique Joseph Mathieu, was among those in the pews.
Leo’s words came on the same day the Vice President JD Vance and a U.S. delegation began face-to-face talks with Iran amid an uneasy ceasefire.
MIKE PENCE WARNS JD VANCE TO AVOID OBAMA-STYLE IRAN DEAL AS NUCLEAR TALKS SET TO BEGIN IN PAKISTAN
They were some of the first American pontiff’s strongest words yet after he called President Donald Trump’s threat against Iran on Tuesday "truly unacceptable."
"Today, as we all know, there has also been this threat against the entire people of Iran, and this is truly unacceptable," the pope said earlier this week. "There are certainly issues of international law here, but even more so a moral issue for the good of the whole entire population."
Trump had written on Truth Social "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will... God Bless the Great People of Iran!"
Hours later, the president announced a two-week ceasefire subject to Iran agreeing to "the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz," the president wrote in another post.
As the high-stakes talks began on Saturday is Islamabad, Trump told reporters outside of the White House: "We win regardless of what happens. Maybe they make a deal, maybe they don’t."
For more than a month, the pope limited his remarks to muted appeals for peace, but in his Easter blessing last Sunday, he urged "those with weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace."
Leo also invoked what he said were the final words that Pope Francis issued to the world from the same balcony one year ago, during which the late pontiff warned of a "globalization of indifference."
"What a great thirst for death, for killing we witness each day in the many conflicts raging in different parts of the world," Leo said, quoting Francis.

Seven-foot statue unveiled honoring Magawa, award-winning rat who found more than 100 landmines in Cambodia
A landmine-sniffing rat who won a gold medal for "life-saving devotion to duty" in Cambodia has been honored with a massive stone statue.
Magawa, a rat who gained fame in the country for sniffing out more than 100 mines (more than 1.5 million square feet) in his five-year career — more than any other rat in the country — retired in 2021 and died at age 8 in 2022.
The African giant pouched rat was trained by the Belgian charity APOPO to use his keen sense of smell to sniff out landmines and other explosives.
In Cambodia, more than 1 million people live and work in areas dotted with landmines, according to BBC News.
'HERO DOG' HONORED FOR COMFORTING COVENANT SCHOOL STUDENTS
In 2020, Magawa received the PDSA Dickin medal for gallantry, which recognizes heroism in animals.
He was the first rat in the organization’s history going back to 1943 to win the award.
Magawa was able to walk over areas with land mines safely because of his light weight and would alert his handlers to a mine by scratching the surface, according to Smithsonian magazine. He would then receive a treat.
"During his career, Magawa found over 100 landmines and other explosives, making him APOPO’s most successful HeroRAT to date," the organization said in 2022, while announcing his death. "His contribution allows communities in Cambodia to live, work and play without fear of losing life or limb."
Cambodia has the highest rate of landmine amputees per capita of any country.
BELOVED PET MAKES DARING ESCAPE FROM ANIMAL HOSPITAL AFTER SURGERY AND TRAVELS 3 MILES TO GET HOME
APOPO added, "Every discovery he made reduced the risk of injury or death for the people of Cambodia."
The statue was unveiled in Siem Reap, Cambodia, April 3, just in time for International Day for Mine Awareness April 4.
Heather Graham says classmates dismissed her as 'nerdy' before Hollywood breakthrough proved them wrong
Before Hollywood came calling, Heather Graham said, she was dismissed as a "nerdy" teenager.
The actress recalled being underestimated in high school before landing the popular cheerleader role in "License to Drive," a turning point she described as a "huge moment" that launched her independence and her career.
"I was nerdy. … You know, I was smart, and I was just, like, nobody thought I was that pretty," Graham recalled during an episode of "Dinner's on Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson."
HEATHER GRAHAM SLAMS ‘AWKWARD’ NEW REALITY OF HOLLYWOOD SEX SCENES
"So, I got this job as, like, the popular, pretty cheerleader, and I had very bad style and bad hair and makeup. Like, I did not know how to, like, do that. And then people were like, 'Oh?'
"[The movie] came out right as I was graduating," Graham added. "And I think people were like, 'Well, maybe we should have paid attention to her.'"
Graham revealed landing the iconic role as Mercedes Lane in "License to Drive" was a "huge moment" for her at 17.
"It was huge for me. Like, that was a huge moment," she explained. "I got to make money. I was independent. I had a bank account, you know, and I could live on my own."

Graham began her career with small roles in commercials and TV before landing teen films such as "Drugstore Cowboy" and "Swingers."
She got her breakthrough with "Boogie Nights," "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "Bowfinger."
Graham landed a role in the blockbuster film "The Hangover" in 2009. She has since continued acting in films and TV while also expanding into writing and directing projects.
Her latest film, "They Will Kill You," hit theaters March 27.

The 56-year-old actress shared some of her beauty secrets in a recent interview with Us Weekly.
Graham claimed she's "never had an actual operation where they’re cutting my face open." But she said she has tried a series of other methods, including "microneedling, Botox … and a bunch of lasery things."
"Some of those laser treatments are torture," she said. "Like, an hour and a half of your face getting blasted."
The movie star's goal is to stay away from invasive plastic surgery because she doesn't "want to look freaky," and her "goal is to look natural."
"I feel like some people get facelifts and they just kind of end up looking like … I mean, there are people that get it, and it’s good. But I just don’t want to be one of those people that got it and look freaky," she said. "But I don’t know if [when] I got older, I wouldn’t completely rule out. Who knows, in the future."
Graham also tries to maintain a balanced diet and get 10 to 11 hours of sleep. She said she uses yoga as a way to stay in shape and manage stress, calling it "so cathartic."
Trump greeted at UFC 327 in first sporting event appearance since start of Iran war
President Donald Trump was greeted by a packed crowd at UFC 327 in Miami Saturday night during the president's first appearance at a sporting event since the start of the Iran war. Fans in attendance erupted into raucous applause as Trump walked into the venue.
Trump made his way out with UFC CEO and president Dana White and went around to the announcers and had an exchange with Joe Rogan, who was sitting at the announcers’ table.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was standing nearby the seats right before Trump walked out, then leaned in to Trump and started whispering very closely to the president, cupping his hands over his mouth and they each exchanged a few words. Trump then turned around, pumping his fist to those sitting behind him, smiling and waving, then pointed a few times to the crowd.

Trump has been a frequent fixture at UFC and other combat sports events during his presidency, during his 2024 campaign and even dating back to his first term.
In 2025, Trump attended UFC 316 and Miami fight night. In 2024, he attended UFC 302 in June and UFC 309 in November.
In 2019, he attended UFC 244.
Before Saturday, the last major sporting event Trump attended was the College Football Playoff national championship game between Indiana and Miami at Hard Rock Stadium Jan. 19.
IRAN POSTPONES TEHRAN FAREWELL CEREMONY FOR KHAMENEI WHERE LARGE CROWDS WERE EXPECTED TO GATHER
Trump was notably absent from this year's Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics in Italy and didn't attend any other events after the Iran war broke out.
But after Tuesday's ceasefire agreement, Trump has returned to sport. Trump addressed the ongoing situation with Iran at the White House before departing for Joint Base Andrews to travel to Miami for the UFC event.
"We're in very deep negotiations with Iran. We win regardless. We've defeated them militarily," Trump told reporters. "Whether we make a deal or not makes no difference to me. And the reason is because we've won, whether you listen to the fake news or not."

'The Boys' creator admits 'sinking feeling' as reality 'out-crazies' his political final season
Amazon Prime Video’s series "The Boys" returned for its fifth and final season, and showrunner Eric Kripke noted in an interview the superhero show is heavily inspired by real life.
He said it’s a "sinking feeling" to watch real-world events that go beyond his show’s satire.
"It’s not a great feeling. It’s a sinking feeling. It’s never great when the world out-crazies your superhero show with exploding penises," Kripke told The Hollywood Reporter in an April 7 article, citing "internment camps" and the use of federal troops in cities.
He also criticized leadership, referring to the "clown in charge of the military" in comments about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
JIMMY KIMMEL SAYS TYRANNY RISING UNDER TRUMP, TAUNTS PRESIDENT OVER SHOW'S RETURN
"The Boys" follows a group of vigilantes who take on corrupt superheroes who abuse their power and stardom. Kripke previously compared the show’s main villain, Homelander, to President Donald Trump.
CONTROVERSIAL 'STAR TREK’ SPINOFF AXED AFTER RATINGS SUFFER AMID ‘WOKE’ FAN BACKLASH
Despite the sharp political commentary, Kripke maintained that the show’s "quarrel is not with people" but with those in charge. He noted that the writers included a "right-winger" character who is portrayed as a "good guy," explaining that the show’s focus is on "leaders who are just really problematic."
JIMMY KIMMEL SPARKS BACKLASH WITH ‘TYRANNY’ JAB AT AMERICA IN UK CHRISTMAS SPEECH
The premiere opens with Homelander, draped in the American flag, speaking at a rally with nationalist imagery. As the crowd chants "U-S-A," the camera lingers on specific figures, including a pregnant woman and a man in a red hat, who viewers say resembles late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
During the rally, Homelander references "freedom camps" where citizens are imprisoned, uses phrases like "golden dawn" and labels rivals as terrorists.
Kripke told Rolling Stone in 2022 that Homelander has "always been a Trump analogue."
In 2024, Amazon Prime Video added a disclaimer to the Season 4 finale, originally titled "Assassination Run," after the attempted assassination of Trump.
While the show remains a hit for Amazon, many fans claim the writing has become too overt.
One user wrote on X, getting nearly 2 million views, "The Boys is another example of the Hollywood left trying to villainize the right and make them look awful."
A second user wrote that the first 20 minutes of the season included "every liberal buzzword."
Fox News Digital reached out to Amazon for comment.
Cameron Diaz reveals strict house rule that leaves some guests out on the curb
Cameron Diaz doesn't play around when it comes to home etiquette.
Diaz revealed her ultimate "ick" on "The Drew Barrymore Show," admitting she's not cool with anyone who dares track New York City street grime past her front door.
When asked about her "biggest ick," Diaz hesitated before confessing, "Shoes from the street in New York City."
"You cannot," Barrymore agreed. "If you want to go into her house, put a body condom on."
"You have to change your clothes to come into my house in New York," Diaz jokingly warned.
"It's true, and her house has no germs in it because of it," Barrymore added.
"Yeah, I roll around on my floors," Diaz quipped. "It's OK."
Diaz stopped by Barrymore's show to talk about her role in the new film, "Outcome." The 53-year-old actress stars in the film alongside Keanu Reeves, Jonah Hill and Matt Bomer.
Diaz first returned to acting with Jamie Foxx in the 2025 film "Back in Action."

The "Charlie's Angels" star revealed what pushed her to jump back into acting after a decade out of the spotlight. Diaz made 38 movies in 20 years. She is known for roles in "My Best Friend's Wedding," "There's Something About Mary," "My Sister's Keeper," "Shrek," "The Other Woman" and many other films.
"I didn't think I was going to make another movie," she admitted in a video shared by "Still Watching Netflix." "I was perfectly happy, you know, just living my life doing other things.
"You know, like day in and day out, not movies. And then I get a phone call from Jamie Foxx. And how do you say no to Jamie Foxx when he says, ‘Hey, I’ve got this big action comedy that we can just have so much fun on.'"

"If there's anyone I'm going to go back and spend months on end, on set, having a ball, laughing with, it would be Jamie," she added.
Despite her return, Diaz revealed nothing could have changed her mind about her decision to leave Hollywood. She stopped acting in 2014 to focus on building a life with husband Benji Madden.
"It felt like the right thing for me to reclaim my own life, and I just really didn't care about anything else," the actress said during an appearance at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, according to E! News.
"Nobody's opinion, nobody's success, no one's offer, no one's anything could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have. I think it really comes to what are you passionate about? For me, it was to build my family."

Paulina Porizkova is celebrating her 61st birthday with a smile.
Earlier this week, the former supermodel uploaded a voice-over video of herself wearing a "super cute" red and white bikini while sharing that, at the height of her career 40 years ago, she was the most insecure she's ever been.
"I will be 61 tomorrow, and I understand that this might sound crazy to you, but 40 years ago, when I was 21 and when I was at the height of my career and supermodeldom — that was when I felt the most insecure," she said in the video.
