"Ultimately, oversight only works if Congress is willing to follow through, regardless of which party controls the White House."
Our Tim Stretton broke down questions Congress should ask when the executive branch resists oversight:
justsecurity.org/163460/exec…
One of the top priorities for the new Congress MUST be ending warrantless surveillance.
It's time for real reforms:
➡️ Warrant reqs for gov't agencies to seize communications
➡️ Eliminating funding for mass surveillance on the American people
➡️ Closing data broker loophole.
“When we heard about this committee being proposed, we were just like, “Why isn’t it running under normal Federal Advisory Committee Act rules?
@SAmeyJD talked to @FederalNewsNet about our lawsuit with @CREWcrew and @Public_Citizen against the Pentagon: federalnewsnetwork.com/litig…

It's time to end corruption.
Americans demonstrated last night that they want a government they can trust.
That requires more than rhetoric. It requires action.
The full statement from Isabel Munilla, our Interim Executive Director: pogo.org/press-center/releas…
Americans have spoken up loud and clear: they're fed up with all the corruption.
In January, the new Congress must focus on building a more accountable government.
It's time to:
➡️ End Congressional stock trading
➡️ Stop warrantless surveillance
➡️ Hold ICE accountable

Soldiers, taxpayers, and Congress all have a stake in how the Pentagon plans for the next war. The panel writing that plan met in a locked room with no public notice, and 19 of its 21 members come from companies that stand to profit. That's why we're in court.
In case you missed it:
We're suing the Pentagon. pogo.org/press-center/releas…

BREAKING: We just sued the Defense Department and Sec. Pete Hegseth, alongside @Public_Citizen and @POGOwatchdog, for unlawfully creating and operating its advisory committee dubbed "Project Meridian"—which violates federal law and presents major conflicts of interest.
The committee must either comply or be dissolved: citizensforethics.org/legal-…
We're suing the Pentagon.
Project Meridian must follow the law.
Our full press release: bit.ly/4zHBRTL
We're asking for a seat at the table.
The Pentagon's Project Meridian is mapping out the future of warfare. But it's dominated by contractors & AI companies
These panels are required BY LAW to be balanced.
That's why the Pentagon should add @WilliamHartung to the committee.

Retired generals and defense officials helped sell Rhombus’s AI tools to the U.S. military.
The pitch didn’t always match reality, records show.
The latest from @kyle_rempfer & @POGOinvestigate: pogo.org/investigates/ai-fir…
The Pentagon has asked for $1.54 trillion for national defense in FY2027—a 45% increase from FY2026.
U.S. military spending grew about 48% from 2000 to 2024.
This admin is asking for nearly a quarter-century of growth in ONE budget cycle. pogo.org/commentaries/spendi…

Rhombus Power said its AI tools predicted the Ukraine invasion “months in advance almost to the day.”
Retired four-stars and DoD leaders advised Rhombus as it got business with SOCOM, STRATCOM, PACOM, and more.
WestExec, notably, offered more than “advice,” emails show.

.@POGOwatchdog @DeptofWar Needs Accountability Expert on "Future of Warfare" Committee. POGO is volunteering because Project Meridian is in violation of a host of advisory committee laws, including balanced membership.

These panels are required BY LAW to be balanced.
That's why the Pentagon should add @WilliamHartung to the committee.
A panel dominated by members who appear to run, work for, or hold financial ties to these companies is far from balanced.
The public interest needs to be represented in Project Meridian.
To understand more about this— and to see what our next steps are— read the letter we sent to the Sec. Hegseth today: pogo.org/policy-letters/dod-…
