ZIP code 22101 is home to a lot of very powerful people. For one, it encompasses Langley, Virginia, home to the CIA's headquarters. But it's not just the CIA. The ZIP code also includes the nearby community of McLean, Virginia, home to many diplomatic residences and military contractors, such as Booz Allen Hamilton, former employer of Edward Snowden.
So it's fair to say that many of the people of 22101 care a lot about U.S. national security policy. One of the ways they, like all Americans, can express themselves is by donating to political campaigns. And as with all Americans, they're required to disclose these donations along with their name, address, and occupation to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), which posts them online. Although the privacy and free speech implications of requiring that kind of disclosure are not great, the FEC filings for 2023–2024 make for interesting reading.
