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.

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.

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.

We're suing the Pentagon.
Project Meridian must follow the law.

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.

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/s…

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.

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.

“People in gov't shouldn’t be playing the stock market, because there’s always the increased possibility or increased potential of them having sort of access to non-public information that the rest of us don’t. There just needs to be a flat across-the-board ban.”
