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.

Highlights from Vampire Vought’s Congressional Testimony
Last week, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought appeared before the House and Senate Budget committees for the first time during his tenure. As we argued last week, both hearings were a rare opportunity for Congress to shine the light on a notoriously shadowy figure, especially given Vought’s persistent ducking and overall disdain for Congressional authority. It wasn’t exactly the spectacle we hoped for—Vought will likely remain an unknown name to the vast majority of Americans despite having a hand in nearly all of their hardship caused by this administration.

Last week's hearings were just one step in holding Russell Vought accountable. The opposition needs to build on the most notable moments and ensure the people most harmed by Vought's actions hear his damning testimony. https://t.co/gUyCAIkKAq
Russ Vought wants to kill the Treasury's Office of Financial Research, which could pave the way for another 2008-style economic meltdown. https://t.co/KH9CwJdT38
When oil prices go up, Republican donors, fossil fuel executives, and Trump admin staffers make lots of money. The rest of us just pay for it. https://t.co/8BXlaOCAMW
Considering that Russ Vought’s fingerprints are all over the Trump administration’s agenda, every committee in the House and Senate has cause to haul him before the public. https://t.co/LafHdJ9fYR
