Recent developments have shown a surprising alignment between Democrats and Republicans in the push to reduce government spending. Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz and others have expressed support for President-elect Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), co-led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Moskowitz aims to make the Secret Service and FEMA independent federal agencies reporting directly to the White House, a proposal with bipartisan backing. Meanwhile, Senators Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna advocate for slashing the Pentagon budget due to failed audits.
