Good on @ACapaccio and @ValerieInsinna for highlighting this stuff, because if your systems are so fragile that an unclassified summary can sink them, y'all got a much larger set of problems.
Transparency and accountability makes stuff better and whatever infinitesimal advantage the DoD has in not having a Sputnik or Xinhua headline saying 'U.S. Weapon is Busted Says Pentagon' is traded for the much more valuable attention to systems that need help.
This week in The Bunker: Enough of defense-business merger-mania; Boeing and the Air Force continue to struggle at the gas pump; key weapons info suddenly MIA, and more. Be sure to read all the way to the end and then SUBSCRIBE! pogo.org/analysis/2022/…
Congress largely had it right when it came to the oversight and reporting provisions in the CARES Act, but it didn't effectively respond when the administration ignored them and now we continue to see the effects. pogo.org/analysis/2020/…
Just my periodic reminder that if the Trump White House hadn't gutted the reporting requirements in the CARES Act we would have known this early enough to course correct and make sure more of the PAYCHECK PROTECTION program actually went to paychecks. nytimes.com/2022/02/01/bus…
This morning in THE BUNKER: Enough defense-business merger-mania; the Air Force’s gas-pump snags; key weapons info suddenly MIA; despite such woes, the defense biz is booming; a BUNKER bye-bye; and more. Sign up here. secure.everyaction.com/hh7kOEIbnEmNQz…
Over $1.6 billion of the recoveries stemmed from lawsuits brought by whistleblowers

DO YOU KNOW THE BLACK HEROES WHO FOUGHT AGAINST NUCLEAR WAR? Nuclear weapons facilities have been poisoning black and brown communities for decades. For #BlackHistoryMonth , we honor those who fought for saner policies. We need to #StopInvestinginDestruction now. (please share)
.@SenWarren isn't happy about how the Pentagon is restricting public access to information on weapons flaws. Her letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin cites my reporting for @BreakingDefense . breakingdefense.com/2022/02/warren…
