Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) argued Democratic lawmakers ought to engage with Republicans on the Department of Government Efficiency, as voters want their lawmakers to work together “to make the American government more efficient” and save taxpayer money.

The Florida Democrat became the first member of his party to announce he would join the House DOGE Caucus, which will aim to slash unnecessary government spending. In explaining his decision to join the caucus, Moskowitz contended that Democrats need to partake in discussions on improving the government’s efficiency, as these discussions will be held “with or without Democrats at the table.”
