1/ If you’re in D.C. for AUSA’s conference, we want to hear from you. We’ve been reporting on the $1 trillion dollar black hole of the U.S. military budget, and we’re looking for insiders to help us find out: Is all of that money really making our country safer?

A D.C. bus stop advertisement reads: The defense budget is $1,000,000,000,000. Is all that money getting soldiers what they need? If you have a tip about defense spending, you can contact ProPublica securely: propublica dot org slash tips. Write us on Signal: 917-512-0201.
