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.

From impoundment to reductions in force, Vought's role in the dismantling of the federal government needs to be a target of aggressive congressional oversight that produces real accountability in the future. https://t.co/0rFBEzJm8Y https://t.co/MizhX6ST9Q
Even veterans have not been spared for Vampire Vought. Vought's efforts to leave civil servants "in trauma" has led to severe staffing shortages that extend wait times for veterans to access critical services: https://t.co/ZZW6bENYQE
As Acting Director of the CFPB, Vought has overseen the gutting of the agency he's supposed to lead. He's acted as a reverse Robin Hood, vacating enforcement actions like the order against Navy Federal Credit Union that would have returned $80 million to victims. https://t.co/RR1pL6a5hq
As the de-facto leader of DOGE after Musk's departure, Vought must answer for the hundreds of thousands of deaths caused by the destruction of USAID: https://t.co/ZWfEFmZ3HB
The proposed budget cuts over $234 million from DoL agencies because they fund "questionable activities such as 'workers' rights training." It goes on to imply the DoL will be de-emphasizing enforcement against lawbreaking employers. How does this "support American workers"? https://t.co/rV836DnjNd
We also must learn more about Vought's involvement in Kristi Noem and Trump's delays in approving and administering disaster aid. These are functional impoundments of mandated funds, a tactic spearheaded by Vought across the government. https://t.co/SUH189BZO4
