It wasn't clear last night if Moskowitz was joking or not. Turns out he wasn't, and his amendment making Marjorie Taylor Greene the official representative of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the United States showed up this morning. Yesterday, the two of them got into frequent shouting matches in a hearing where Greene kept bringing up Nazis and Hitler while referring to Ukraine. If she's just going to keep spouting Kremlin propaganda in official proceedings Moskowitz decided she deserved a real title.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) thinks he's found the perfect job for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
Axios reporter Andrew Solender has flagged an amendment that Moskowitz filed that would make Greene the official representative of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the United States.
"Whereas... Greene has repeatedly attempted to block aid to Ukraine, empowering Vladimir Putin's unlawful violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity," the amendment reads. "Whereas... Greene has reposed information from the Strategic Culture Foundation, a Russian based disinformation and propaganda channel... It is the sense of Congress that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) should be appointed Vladimir Putin's Special Envoy to the United States Congress."
Moskowitz said on Wednesday night that he would be filing this particular amendment, although it wasn't certain at that point if he was being serious or just making a joke.
It turns out, however, that he was being serious, although the amendment's passage is far from guaranteed given Republican control of the House of Representatives.
Earlier, Greene had submitted her own Kremlin-approved amendment.
