About the Revolving Door Project
The Revolving Door Project (RDP) scrutinizes executive branch appointees to ensure they use their office to serve the broad public interest, rather than to entrench corporate power or seek personal advancement.

The Agency Spotlight tracks appointments to leadership positions at thirty-nine independent federal agencies through the confirmation process and beyond.

Hackwatch is where we monitor the mainstream media’s favorite Democratic-leaning economic analysts for conflicts of interest, perverse incentives, and just flat-out erroneous reasoning. We identify who the bad actors are, explain why they’re compromised and wrong, and demand that outlets stop poisoning the information ecosystem with discredited neoliberal orthodoxy and start giving people access to other, better-informed perspectives.
Learn MoreSupreme Transparency
Supreme Transparency—a project of Take Back the Court, True North Research, and the Revolving Door Project—sheds light on an oft-overlooked way that the U.S. Supreme Court’s billionaire benefactors peddle influence: amicus briefs. The Supreme Transparency site exposes the more subtle yet no less destructive ways that right-wing amicus filers and oligarchic court-whisperers hold sway over SCOTUS.

Trump Sets His Sights on “Eliminating” Public Education

We're tracking the crisis, and the Trump administration's willful mangling of this vaccine-preventable disease into a resurgent, and deadly, health issue, here https://t.co/FZCeJdGTJH
Simultaneously, the Trump administration also clawed back billions of dollars in grants from state health services last week, including funds supporting infectious disease tracking and other public health initiatives https://t.co/CPqTHoycMo
Meanwhile, the CDC seemingly buried a report stressing the importance (and long-proven safety!) of vaccines in the fight against the disease, as per ProPublica https://t.co/weNBWJSIYq
How is the administration responding? RFK Jr is still baselessly pushing Vitamin A as a measles cure. Meanwhile, the misguided administration of such high doses of Vitamin A to patients is beginning to give some patients liver damage, as the NYT reports https://t.co/NxceT0t3CF
Texas went from 309 reported cases to a horrifying 400, Kansas’ case count drastically increased from 6 to 23, and Ohio went from a single confirmed case in the state to now 10, all in the last week
Suspected and confirmed measles cases exploded across the US last week, with the CDC reporting now at least 483 cases confirmed in 2025
