Weekly Spotlight: A refreshing change
This week: Announcing a new look for POGO.
Delivered to our subscribers on Saturdays, the Weekly Spotlight is a roundup of POGO's latest work and announcements. Sign up to get this newsletter delivered to your inbox.
Editor’s Note: On Monday, October 9, we will be honoring Indigenous People’s Day and celebrating Indigenous history and culture. Happy Indigenous People’s Day!
An exciting announcement: After a year-long redesign, we’re excited to launch the new pogo.org website.
We revamped the website to make it clearer to our supporters how we approach our work and to explain our top priorities when it comes to creating a more accountable and effective democracy. The new features include a home
page that tells the story of what we do and why, breakdowns of the five core issue areas, an impact page that notes our recent wins, and a comprehensive archive of our newsletters — including this one — so you have complete access to the breadth of our work.
ANALYSIS
This week in The Bunker: Pentagon snafus in three warfare domains — up in the sky, down on the ground, and out at sea — reveal how to not buy weapons; and more.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“We had a number of states [in the last census] with undercounts, over counts, and those states need to play a bigger role in encouraging their citizens to participate.”
Sean Moulton, Senior Policy Analyst, on Federal News Network
OVERHEARD
ONE LINERS
“The Pentagon’s own defense budget is hardly a disciplined exercise in smart spending, but at least it has a top-down logic to it that’s often lost when Congress begins larding it with its pet projects.”
Mark Thompson, National Security Analyst, in Roll Call
