In a blistering and explosive House floor speech, Representative Jared Moskowitz unleashed a scathing critique of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s so-called Doge caucus, branding it a circus act while mocking the disastrous first 100 days of Donald Trump’s presidency. “Even a dead president had a better 100 days,” Moskowitz declared, sending shockwaves through the chamber as he exposed a staggering $900 million in budget bloat, including $42,000 bonuses for ICE agents amid gutting social programs for working-class families.
As the GOP sat in stunned silence, Moskowitz deftly dismantled their inflated priorities, ripping apart proposed spending like $1.3 billion on lawyers and $700 million for IT contracts, all while Americans struggle with rising inflation and falling consumer sentiment. His fiery rhetoric was not just political theater; it was a clarion call against what he described as a “man-made economic disaster” stemming from Trump’s reckless tariffs.
The urgency heightened when Moskowitz took his message to CNN, reiterating that the Doge caucus—now a mere ghost—had achieved nothing of substance. Instead, he laid bare the stark contrast between the lavish bonuses for government enforcers and the harsh realities facing everyday Americans, from slashed SNAP benefits to the looming threat of deportation for U.S. citizens. “This isn’t reform; it’s repression in a business suit,” he warned.
As the political landscape grows more volatile, Moskowitz’s verbal smackdown serves as a crucial reminder of the dire implications of unchecked governmental power and fiscal irresponsibility. He challenged his colleagues and the nation to recognize the stakes: with ICE agents cashing out while families suffer, the line between governance and authoritarianism has never been thinner. “I decided to doge your budget,” he proclaimed, urging Americans to raise their voices in the fight against this escalating crisis. The message is clear: the time for action is now.
