Huge news!

We're so excited that the House Armed Services Committee adopted the #RightToRepair amendment last night.

Thank you @RepGoodlander and @RepPatHarrigan, who led the fight for this essential provision to empower service members and save taxpayer dollars.

[Scott Amey @SAmeyJD]

.@POGOwatchdog will see ya in court @DeptofWar. We can't wait to hear why this video is classified when neither the video of the original strike nor 50+ boat strikes since have been concealed. https://t.co/hMfmDFy55g

[Scott Amey @SAmeyJD]

The court denied @DeptofWar's request for a stay in our FOIA case. We get our day in court and can't wait for its justification of why the 2nd strike is classified as compared to the 1st strike or the 50+ that have followed.

[Project On Government Oversight @POGOwatchdog]

It's simple: #RightToRepair is good for taxpayers, good for servicemembers, and good for national security.

It's just common sense. https://t.co/0kFEGt9WZK

The Dept. of Defense has denied our request for footage of a September strike on shipwrecked survivors.

We believe this denial is illegal.

Congress to the rescue. @DeptofWar wants to water down revolving door restrictions AGAIN. Limiting behind-the-scenes activities is vital. We need cooling-off periods on inside info sharing & cozy connections for those recently jumping to weapons companies. https://t.co/C91WAMYRwg
