Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla. — the first Democrat to join the Congressional DOGE caucus — pronounced the group "dead" while speaking to Politico.
"The DOGE caucus is dead. It’s defunct. We haven’t met in months. We only had two total meetings in five months. And we weren’t involved at all in anything [happening at DOGE], which Elon was in charge of. Zero. Zilch. Nada. [Musk] did it all on his own," Moskowitz said, according to the outlet, which noted that the exchange with the lawmaker had been edited for length and clarity.
"DOGE was a complete failure. Complete failure. Nothing has been made more efficient," Moskowitz reportedly asserted.
