Defense contracting transparency
Where money moves through U.S. defense — federal spending (Department of Defense), the top prime contractors by dollars received, lobbying, congressional trades in defense stocks, and the revolving door. Coverage-honest: figures we don't have yet show "—"; the contractor list is a curated set of major primes, not every DoD vendor.

The defense revolving door
Registered lobbyists on defense (DEF) filings who disclosed a prior covered government position — a role they previously held in Congress or the executive branch, including the Department of Defense. This is a transparency signal, not an accusation; the prior post is exactly as the filer reported it. For the full cross-sector registry, see the Revolving Door page.
Scoped to filings carrying the DEF issue code in the Lobbying Disclosure Act database.
