Jared Moskowitz, The Enemy
Who The Fuck Is Jared?
Who the fuck is Jared?
Jared Evan Moskowitz.
Born December 18, 1980, Coral Springs, Florida.
George Washington University BA, Nova Southeastern University JD. U.S. Representative for Florida’s 23rd congressional district since January 3, 2023.
Member of the New Democrat Coalition.
Ron DeSantis appointed him twice before he ran as a Democrat, first as Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management from January 2019 through April 2021, making him the most prominent Democrat in that Republican administration, and then to the Broward County Commission in January 2022.
DeSantis was his stepping stone to Congress.
ProgressivePunch rates his voting record a D, placing him 198th out of 212 House Democrats, the worst among Florida Democrats, with a lifetime crucial vote score of 74.44 that puts him in the same range as the most corporate New Democrat Coalition members in the House.
He missed 83 of 1,810 roll call votes between January 2023 and June 2026, a 4.6% miss rate, more than double the 2.1% median among currently serving representatives.
AIPAC is his all-time top campaign contributor.
Article I of the Constitution is unambiguous.
Congress declares war.
The Founders designed this deliberately.
Madison wrote in Federalist 48 that Congress would prove “impetuous” and “enterprising” in wielding power.
Hamilton wrote in Federalist 69 that declaring war “appertains to the Legislature.”
When Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie introduced a bipartisan resolution requiring congressional authorization before military action against Iran, Moskowitz opposed it and called it the “Ayatollah Protection Act.”
He was one of two Democrats to publicly break from the caucus and side with unchecked executive war power before the vote.
He and Gottheimer claimed Iran was still pursuing a nuclear weapon, a position directly contradicted at the time by U.S. intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Trump launched strikes on Iran.
American service members died. While bombs were falling and Americans were dying in an unauthorized war, Moskowitz said on record, “Congress is on the verge of irrelevancy.”
He eventually changed his vote after the strikes began.
That reversal does not undo the position he held when it counted, before a single authorization vote had been taken and before a single American was dead.
The constitutional authority he initially moved to surrender belongs to the American people through their elected representatives.
The Constitution does not have a partisan exception.
He was willing to give that authority to a president he nominally opposes, and he said so publicly, and he was on record calling the restraining mechanism by a mocking name while the consequences were still theoretical.
On March 10, 2023, the day Silicon Valley Bank failed, an investment account belonging to Moskowitz’s children sold between $65,000 and $150,000 worth of Seacoast Banking Corporation shares.
Two days later, Moskowitz appeared on television and disclosed he had attended a bipartisan congressional briefing on the banking crisis.
Three days after the sale, Seacoast Banking shares fell nearly 20%.
His spokesperson said the financial adviser suggested the sale to diversify the children’s holdings and that the briefing preceded the television interview.
What the spokesperson did not address is the relationship between the briefing and the March 10 sale.
That sequence, a congressional briefing on a crisis unavailable to ordinary Americans, a stock sale, and then a 20% drop three days later, is the factual pattern that legal scholars have identified as triggering the misappropriation theory question under United States v. O’Hagan.
Members of Congress who receive non-public material information through official briefings and trade on it owe a duty to either disclose their intent to trade or abstain. No investigation was opened.
Beyond Seacoast, he violated the STOCK Act twice in August 2024.
First, by filing more than 60 late transactions from a dependent child’s account, some from February 2024, nearly five months past the federally mandated 45-day disclosure deadline.
Then, by filing another late disclosure for 83 stock transactions, many dating back to July 2023, nearly a year past the deadline.
Those 83 trades were valued between $224,083 and $1.585 million total, including Lockheed Martin and NextEra Energy, companies directly connected to his committee work and his votes.
The fine was $200 per violation.
His spokesperson confirmed he paid it without requesting a waiver.
That is not accountability.
It is the cost of doing business with public trust.
Moskowitz sits on the House Armed Services Committee, the body that oversees the Pentagon budget, military procurement, and defense contracting, and that receives classified briefings unavailable to ordinary investors.
He purchased Lockheed Martin stock four times at advantageous moments, including when Pentagon budget increases occurred.
One $8,000 purchase was disclosed 190 days after the transaction.
After another purchase, Lockheed was awarded a $107 million Navy contract.
When Trump launched strikes on Iran on a Friday, Lockheed hit an all-time high the following Monday.
Lockheed manufactures the F-35, the aircraft Israel uses to conduct airstrikes in Gaza.
Moskowitz votes to fund the military budget that sustains those contracts, sits on the committee that oversees them, and holds equity that appreciates when military action increases demand.
He purchased between $1,001 and $15,000 in Caterpillar stock on April 7, 2025, disclosed in May 2025.
The Senate subsequently rejected Bernie Sanders’s resolution to block the sale of Caterpillar D9R and D9T bulldozers to Israel.
The Caterpillar D9 is documented by the United Nations as the primary demolition tool used to destroy Palestinian homes and civilian infrastructure.
The Larkin campaign reported the trade generated a 175% return on investment from the purchase date.
Two weapons-sector stock trades, both while sitting on the Armed Services Committee, both timed to conflict escalation, both in companies whose products are documented in the destruction his votes enable.
The Gaza Health Ministry is the only official death count coming out of Gaza.
On June 27, 2024, the House voted 269-144 on an amendment Moskowitz co-sponsored barring the State Department from citing those figures.
His stated rationale, “The Gaza Ministry of Health is the Hamas Ministry of Health.”
The United States has provided at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel since October 7, 2023. American taxpayers fund this.
The American public has a right, through its government, to know what that money is producing.
Moskowitz’s amendment severed that accountability mechanism.
Under his amendment, the U.S. government is prohibited from officially acknowledging the count of people killed with American-funded weapons.
The principle that citizens have the right to know what their government does with their money and in their name is foundational to democratic governance.
Moskowitz voted to blind the government to consequences it is paying for.
The dead can remain uncounted.
The invoice stays unpaid in the public record.
When Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in the United States Congress, whose family is from the West Bank, spoke about what was happening to her people, Moskowitz voted to formally censure her.
He did not merely vote.
He urged other members to support the resolution before the vote.
He told CNN her language was “unacceptable.”
The censure passed 234-188. Moskowitz was one of 22 Democrats who crossed the aisle to punish a colleague for speaking about the destruction of her own people, while he was simultaneously authoring legislation to prevent the government from counting those same people’s deaths.
He found her words unacceptable.
He did not find it unacceptable that American weapons were destroying Palestinian civilian infrastructure.
He did not find it unacceptable to bar the State Department from counting Palestinian dead.
He found it unacceptable that the only American of Palestinian descent in Congress said “from the river to the sea.”
Documented in Florida Politics: Moskowitz called Ilhan Omar “rabid” and said he “agreed with most criticisms of Omar.”
His campaign press releases document a pattern of singling out progressive colleagues, particularly women and people of color, for public attack while declining to criticize the Republican officials, including Ron DeSantis, whose appointments built his career.
The documented targets are progressives.
The documented silence is toward the right.
In December 2024, Moskowitz became the first Democrat to join the Congressional DOGE Caucus.
This mattered because DOGE required bipartisan credibility to function as a political project.
Republicans alone could not claim the initiative transcended partisanship.
Moskowitz provided that cover.
The bipartisan credibility he supplied was then used to void collective bargaining agreements with federal workers and lay off tens of thousands of government employees.
He remained on the caucus after other Democrats left and publicly denounced it, including Rep. Val Hoyle of Oregon.
He told constituents the caucus had only met twice in six months, as if the consequence of those meetings was irrelevant to the people who lost their jobs and their union contracts.
Federal workers did not lose their collective bargaining agreements because Republicans had the votes.
They lost them because Moskowitz provided the bipartisan frame that made it politically viable.
AIPAC’s spokesperson has stated plainly, “It’s our mission as an organization to support the U.S.-Israel relationship, no matter which government is in power in Israel or which government is in power in the United States.”
No matter who Americans elect, to any office, at any level, AIPAC’s mission is unchanged.
It spent $126.9 million across 389 congressional races in the 2024 elections.
It funded 318 elected members of Congress, a majority of the body that is supposed to represent the American people.
Its direct PAC contributions of $45.2 million to winning candidates was the most by any single organization in a congressional cycle in U.S. history, per Sludge’s FEC analysis.
The money does not come from Jewish Americans broadly.
AIPAC’s United Democracy Project super PAC was built with donations from Republican megadonors, Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, hedge fund manager Paul Singer, and WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum, each giving seven-figure sums, while AIPAC simultaneously endorsed over 100 Republican candidates who refused to certify the 2020 election.
AIPAC endorsed Moskowitz for re-election.
Its director wrote him directly that the endorsement recognized “your support for the pro-Israel agenda on Capitol Hill.”
He led on eight AIPAC-supported bills, co-sponsored 26 AIPAC-backed bills and 28 AIPAC-backed resolutions.
In a single quarter during his re-election cycle, he added $380,000 to his war chest including contributions through AIPAC, bringing his total for that cycle to $1.5 million, more than the combined fundraising of six Republican challengers.
The documented criterion for AIPAC support in Democratic primaries tracks opposition to single-payer health care, opposition to campaign finance reform, and opposition to worker protections.
This is the Republican economic agenda in a Democratic costume.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the New York Times, “My job is to keep the left pro-Israel.”
Hakeem Jeffries was the largest recipient of pro-Israel money in the House last election cycle out of 435 members.
At the DNC’s spring 2026 meeting, members deferred votes on resolutions to restrict military aid to Israeli units accused of war crimes and rejected a measure condemning AIPAC-linked dark money.
Moskowitz is not a moderate operating within a system.
He is a mechanism by which a foreign lobby’s agenda is laundered through a Democratic Party label into American law.
The United States has provided at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel since October 7, 2023.
The Quinnipiac University poll from August 2025 found 50% of all Americans, including 77% of Democrats, believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed.
Moskowitz holds Lockheed Martin stock.
Lockheed makes the F-35 Israel uses to conduct airstrikes.
He holds Caterpillar stock. Caterpillar makes the D9 bulldozer Israel uses to demolish Palestinian homes.
He co-sponsored the amendment barring the State Department from counting the dead produced by weapons his committee oversees.
He voted to censure the only American of Palestinian descent who spoke about it.
He opposed the Iran War Powers Resolution before eventually reversing himself after the strikes began.
His portfolio appreciates when military action escalates.
His AIPAC funding is contingent on maintaining unconditional support for Israeli military operations.
His committee seat gives him access to non-public information about procurement and operations that he has not disclosed within legally required timeframes.
The financial incentives, the voting record, the donor structure, and the legislative conduct all point in the same direction.
Jared Moskowitz benefits personally from the continuation of a war his own constituents oppose by a two-to-one margin.
Moskowitz held no public town halls in South Florida through all of 2025 until a virtual event in May that used pre-selected questions.
His team held invite-only events capped at 20 participants.
WLRN requested access to one and was denied.
When Broward Democratic Party precinct committeewoman Hillary Dougherty called his office to ask about a public event, the person who answered said he was not planning any.
On March 21, 2025, while holding no public town halls, Moskowitz reposted an article calling Republican James Comer “too chicken” to face constituents, with six chicken emojis.
A crowd of nearly 450 constituents organized a People’s Town Hall at the United Church of Christ in Fort Lauderdale, paid for out of their own pockets, and offered to let him appear virtually on Zoom.
He said no.
When his absence was announced, the crowd booed. Someone yelled “Primary him!”
They cheered.
Organizer Jennifer Jones, “We paid for it out of our own pockets. We told him he could come virtually on Zoom and we would make it happen and no. So we’re very disappointed.”
Hillary Dougherty, “His constituents are scared. I’m a single mother. I have to keep a roof over their head. I have parents who are seniors who live in Broward who have to rely on Social Security. It would be really great if the person we voted for and we elected to represent us from Broward County in D.C. would let us know what they’re doing there.”
When he finally held a virtual town hall with pre-selected questions and a constituent asked about Gaza, he said, “Hamas doesn’t care about their people at all. They put them at risk. They use them as human shields. They’re disposable. Hamas wants these images, they want these images to beam through Chinese TikTok in order to isolate Israel from the world.”
His closing line to constituents worried about healthcare, housing, and Social Security: “If you are frustrated in this moment, it’s an important reminder that elections have consequences.”
Adam Hasner, Executive Vice President of Public Policy for GEO Group since 2016, the private prison corporation headquartered in Boca Raton, was unanimously selected as president of Florida Atlantic University in February 2025.
A GEO Group executive, Pablo Paez, sat on both the FAU Board of Trustees and the presidential search committee and pushed for a compensation package of $1 million to $1.5 million for the incoming president.
FAU subsequently became one of the first universities in the country to sign a 287(g) cooperation agreement with ICE.
GEO Group tried to buy FAU’s stadium naming rights in 2013 for $6 million.
Students organized and killed the deal, calling the proposed stadium “Owlcatraz.” In 2025 they got the president instead.
Larkin’s campaign publicly documented Moskowitz’s personal recommendation of Hasner for the FAU presidency.
That specific claim has not been independently confirmed.
What is confirmed, the structural connection between Moskowitz’s political career, built through DeSantis appointments, and the private prison industry’s capture of a public university sitting in his district.
A March 2026 poll of FL-23 Democratic primary voters by the Center for Strategic Politics, 491 likely voters weighted by age, race, and gender with a margin of error of 4.42%, found that 30% of voters want to cease military aid to Israel entirely, 33% want conditions or a reduction, 21% support maintaining current levels, and 9% want to increase it. Roughly two-to-one opposition to the policy Moskowitz has built his career enabling.
Voters opposed military strikes on Iran by a 50-point margin, the war he gave Trump a blank check to launch before reversing course.
In the initial head-to-head against his primary challenger, Moskowitz led 45% to 11%, with 44% undecided.
An incumbent below 50% against a challenger with 11% name recognition is an incumbent in structural trouble.
National polling confirms this is not a district outlier.
By August 2025, Quinnipiac found 75% of Democrats opposed to sending more military aid to Israel, up from 49% support in November 2023.
By May 2026, 74% of Democrats opposed additional economic and military support to Israel.
By June 2026, 67% of Democrats said the U.S. relationship with Israel does more to hurt America than help it.
The gap between what Democratic voters want and what Moskowitz delivers is not a policy disagreement.
It is a documented structural misalignment between a congressman’s conduct and the expressed will of the people he was elected to represent.
AIPAC is his all-time top contributor, with over $1.5 million in total support across PAC contributions and allied spending.
NextEra Energy’s PAC, the parent company of Florida Power and Light, contributed $17,000 across six FEC-documented transactions between July 2022 and June 2024. FPL has sought utility rate increases that directly affect Moskowitz’s constituents, who are already fleeing the district because they cannot afford to stay.
FTX engineering head Ramnik Arora donated $40,000 to a single-candidate super PAC supporting Moskowitz in October 2022, weeks before FTX collapsed.
Moskowitz had made creating a more secure and competitive marketplace for cryptocurrencies a campaign priority.
Lockheed Martin stock purchases are documented across multiple transactions.
The company received a $107 million Navy contract after one of those purchases.
Caterpillar stock was purchased April 7, 2025.
The Senate rejected the Sanders resolution to block Caterpillar bulldozer sales to Israel while Moskowitz held the position.
The Home Depot PAC contributed $5,000 in documented FEC transactions.
His funding base is the intersection of the war industry, the fossil fuel utility industry, the cryptocurrency industry, and a foreign lobby bankrolled by Republican megadonors.
None of these are the interests of working-class South Florida constituents who cannot afford to live in their own district.
Palestinian Americans in his district are on record.
Anas Amireh, Coral Springs, “We are disgusted by what is going on that we keep going back to this. Civilians on both sides are going to lose their lives and this is ridiculous and this needs to stop once and for all. Innocent people are losing their lives, innocent babies and moms and husbands and working people.”
Jay Shehadeh, Coral Gables attorney and founder of United Palestinian Appeal, “It’s incredible the level of pain that we are seeing with people dying in Gaza. I am discouraged on the world stage on the values placed on Israeli lives versus Palestinian lives. All life is equally valuable.”
Al-Awda Palestine Right to Return Coalition, Broward County: “The genocide continues because it is armed, funded, and shielded, indeed directed, by the United States and its imperialist allies.”
At a Broward County car rally in October 2025, roughly 100 vehicles gathered to maintain pressure for aid to Gaza. A Puerto Rican woman who had never encountered a public Palestine supporter followed the caravan, stopped her car, and embraced the organizer in tears, saying she often felt isolated following Gaza news on social media and had never seen public solidarity before.
These are his constituents, in his district, speaking on record.
He answered their questions about the people being killed with their tax dollars by saying Hamas wants images to beam through Chinese TikTok.
The United States has provided at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel since October 7, 2023.
The baseline annual commitment is $3.8 billion, a floor and not a ceiling.
Since 1951, Israel has received $225.2 billion in U.S. military aid adjusted for inflation.
Israel is the largest recipient of American foreign aid since World War II.
Israel provides its citizens universal healthcare, free K-12 education, child allowances, unemployment benefits, and a national pension system.
The United States does not guarantee any of these to its own citizens.
American tax dollars fund a social contract in Israel that the Americans paying for it cannot access at home.
In South Florida, Moskowitz’s district, a Puerto Rican Marine Corps veteran over 65, on Social Security and a fixed income, saw his homeowners insurance premium go from $3,000 to $6,000.
People are fleeing South Florida because the cost of staying has become impossible.
The property insurance crisis is tied to climate change and hurricane risk and requires national intervention.
Moskowitz is not working on one.
He is working on the system that made the choice for him before he ever got to Congress.
He initially surrendered congressional war power to a president he opposes, called the restraining mechanism a mocking name, and then reversed himself after Americans were already dead.
He traded bank stocks after a congressional briefing on a banking crisis and watched the shares drop 20% three days later.
He filed 83 trades nearly a year late, valued up to $1.585 million, and paid a $200 fine.
He voted to blind the U.S. government to the death toll produced by American weapons.
He built personal wealth through defense contractor equity while sitting on the Armed Services Committee.
He voted to censure the only Palestinian American in Congress.
He called Ilhan Omar “rabid.”
He provided bipartisan cover for the dismantling of federal worker protections and stayed on after others left in protest.
He serves a foreign lobby funded by Republican megadonors that operates explicitly outside the outcomes of American democracy.
He refused public accountability to his own constituents while mocking a Republican for the same behavior on the same day.
The votes are public.
The trades are disclosed.
The quotes are on record.
The donor reports are FEC filings.
The town hall attendance is documented by public radio.
The polling gap between his positions and his constituents’ positions is measured with methodology and margin of error.
This is not characterization, this is a congressional career.
So, I ask, “Who the fuck is Jared?”
Jared is the future of the Democratic Party if you DON'T WAKE THE FUCK UP. It's not just "centrist" any more, it's outright RIGHT! The Republican Party, as if you need reminding is the Far Right! Why do Americans not see this? Why are they contributing to the killing of civilians who simply want to stop being killed. What the hell is wrong with you? You have paid $225 Billion of your tax dollars to support a regime that doesn't benefit you in the least! Instead via AIPAC they benefit YOUR democratic appointees. Is this what you vote for year after year since 1948? I know that most American voters think that their vote, their voice doesn't count but it does. Do your due diligence before you keep reinstating these people that are thieving from you. Jared isn't the only one, he's just a symptom of how degraded your government has become. Now even with the most wilfully self-serving prez you have ever had since Nixon you are still going to listen to them and give them a pass. Give me strength! Also, you shouldn't trust a man who's eyes are too close together. Didn't you learn that at least from your grandma?!!!
Moskowitz has the equivalent of a C+ (77.69 Crucial Progressive Vote Score) and a B (84.51) (Composite Progressive Score) as published by Progressive Punch. Both his former and newly redrawn Congressional Districts, have diverse populations, majority Independent voter registrations, and 25% Jewish population; voted Biden in 2020 and Trump in 2024. I'm far from his district and the cultures that make up Florida's 25th. I can only look to November's forthcoming election as the authentic referendum of constituent/voter preference. Note: Democratic Reps make up only 28% (8/28) of Florida's House delegation. The progressive scoring Moskowitz' voting record appears to hold seems significant given that Red State's heavy conservative lean. Agree on AIPAC and all Citizens United gateway PAC/lobbyist campaign influence funding - has to go!
