EXCLUSIVE: More than 100 congressional lawmakers have lined up behind the goal of cutting government waste, as Republicans and Democrats wage an aggressive ideological battle over the merits of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The Congressional DOGE Caucus was founded shortly after President Donald Trump tapped Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead an advisory panel on where the federal bureaucracy could be trimmed.
That effort is now being led by Musk alone, and it's attracted fierce criticism from Democratic lawmakers who call him an unelected bureaucrat with too much control over the federal government despite no prior experience inside of it.
But in the House, enthusiasm for the mission is still strong. Fox News Digital was told more than 100 members are part of the DOGE Caucus – which is more than one in five House lawmakers.
The group's members are currently working on legislative items aimed at reducing government spending and forwarding specific items on Trump's agenda, Fox News Digital was told.
The caucus, led by Reps. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., Pete Sessions, R-Texas, and House GOP Conference Vice Chair Blake Moore, R-Utah, has had two meetings so far.

Where are the rest of the Repubs?
The Dems are flooding online media screeching and waving their hands. Where are the Republicans answering?
About Time.
The Executive Branch was all alone in fighting off black robed thugs.
Well, it’s popular. I expect some RINOs well get in to spy and sabotage the movement.
We need every Republican on board—or primary them in 2026.
We are done playing nice.
“Where are the rest of the Repubs?”
Bingo. My very first thought was “100 is nice, but where are the rest? Why aren’t they on board? Are they afraid of discovery? That their gravy train is being upset?”
Are there any Republicans who are clean enough to join such a caucus? We’ll find out.
Battle lines bein’ drawn...
Before the day is out, I'm launching a #JudgeWatch Permanent Thread, where we will track Pop-Up Judges©.
They are hiding behind Trump’s “big balls”. When Trump wins they will claim credit. If something goes sideways they can claim they never supported it.
“Unpleasant and even dangerous as collisions may sometimes be between the constituted authorities of the citizens of our country in relation to the lines which separate their respective jurisdictions, the results can be of no vital injury to our institutions if that ardent patriotism, that devoted attachment to liberty, that spirit of moderation and forbearance for which our countrymen were once distinguished, continue to be cherished. If this continues to be the ruling passion of our souls, the weaker feeling of the mistaken enthusiast will be corrected, the Utopian dreams of the scheming politician dissipated, and the complicated intrigues of the demagogue rendered harmless. The spirit of liberty is the sovereign balm for every injury which our institutions may receive.”

“[N]o division of powers, no distribution of checks in its several departments, will prove effectual to keep us a free people if this spirit [of liberty] is suffered to decay; and decay it will without constant nurture.
“To the neglect of this duty the best historians agree in attributing the ruin of all the republics with whose existence and fall their writings have made us acquainted. The same causes will ever produce the same effects, and as long as the love of power is a dominant passion of the human bosom, and as long as the understandings of men can be warped and their affections changed by operations upon their passions and prejudices, so long will the liberties of a people depend on their own constant attention to its preservation.”
It isn’t ‘waste’, it’s deliberate theft.
I looked it up. There are 870 Federal Judges. Last time I checked, that is more than the Executive and Legislative Branches combined.
200 of them are Biden toadies.

I have read where some black robed tyrants have even been around since Reagan appointed them.
We are truly living under Judicial Tyranny.
I’m on your Ping List. Will read your thread when available.
OK, so 100 GOP House members are now on the DOGE Caucus.
Where are the other 120 GOP House members?
Could the 120 GOP House members be among the grifters who are feeding at the Government Giveaways Trough????
Polling data is in the 60s for people wanting the Democrats to work with President Trump
This is not going to end well for the Dems
Quietly doing their job putting the legislation together to cover all this in a reconciliation bill. Reconciliation cannot be filibustered under US Senate rules.
That the failed media ignores everything else going on to hyperventilate about Musk and Doge does not mean the GOP Congress is doing nothing.
When you start a ping list for black robe thugs, add my name. Thanks in advance
Where are the over 100 OTHER Republicans??
