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.
Projects
The Agency Spotlight
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.

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.

TRACKER: Aviation Disasters And Trump Administration Attacks On Air Safety
Since the start of the Trump administration, there have been no less than 175 aviation disasters, killing a total of 371 people. The American Airlines crash on January 29, 2025 at Reagan National Airport marked the first fatal commercial crash in the United States since 2009. This tracker will be continuously updated to reflect any further cuts to these federal agencies, as well as any aviation-related disasters.

Tracking the Environmental Harms of Trump Actions
Trump’s second term began with drastic announcements on Day One and has been chaotic every day since. It can be overwhelming to try to keep up with the cuts to environmental funding, rollbacks to critical regulations, and track the thousands of staff across agencies who have been fired from their roles. The purpose of this tracker is to monitor some of the most important tangible increases in pollution and environmental and health harms caused by the Trump administration’s actions.

NEWSLETTER: RDP's new report on Department of Government Efficiency is out and this week's newsletter offers a glimpse into its contents. From veterans denied care, to to citizens left unprotected in disasters, DOGE has sacrificed public welfare on the altar of “efficiency.” https://t.co/IpI9TsuG5y
3/ This data breach wasn't a one-off. Under Musk, and continued under Russell Vought, DOGE's actions inside government repeatedly produced real harm. We've documented this pattern across agencies in our new report on the creation and consequences of DOGE. https://t.co/1pdS59DQuS
2/ Yesterday, Politico reported that DOGE members at the SSA shared sensitive Social Security information on an unapproved third party server and may have shared that info with an advocacy group seeking to "overturn election results in certain states." https://t.co/xrEiFlmxwY
1/ Justices Jackson and Sotomayor warned last June about the dangers of DOGE accessing Social Security data. Recent reporting shows how prophetic that warning was. https://t.co/qPcZORhKjA https://t.co/kXjj9ct2EK
