About the Revolving Door Project

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.

Personal Information at Risk
The United States federal government knows a lot about you. If you’ve ever applied for federal student aid, the Department of Education has records of your income and assets. The Social Security Administration begins collecting information from the moment your parents apply for your Social Security number at birth, adds new data every time Social Security taxes are deducted from your paychecks, and continues to monitor you until the day you die.
