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.

RDP on Twitter
Democrats should consider being part of the Epstein Class a blackmark. If Dems truly care about the victims of the infamous sex offender, they will no longer lock arms with those who associated with him.
Reid Hoffman, one of the LinkedIn co-founders,and a Dem megadonar D. He also lied to Axios about his friendship with Epstein, which lasted at least 5 years and consisted of Hoffman sending "gifts...for the girls." https://t.co/0QVNipaYyF
Mary Jo White was a notably incompetent SEC chair under Obama. By letting companies off for violating securities law, White earned Epstein's praise and a PR defensive from Kathy Ruemmler. After Epstein's death his buddy Les Wexner also hired White for criminal defense. https://t.co/YI2IG3xYOV
Kathy Ruemmler had to resign as Goldman Sachs' top lawyer in February over a long relationship with the known sex offender she affectionately called “Uncle Jeffrey.” Before that, she was one of the Democratic Party's top lawyers, nearly became Obama's AG in 2014. https://t.co/HYWvnTMe37
Brad Karp, former chairman of the white-shoe law firm Paul Weiss had a long-term friendship with Epstein, attending parties and advising him on how to get an 'inconvenient' woman deported. Despite this, Karp is still a key Democratic fundraiser and kingmaker. https://t.co/hKtnsK0Qkk
NEW: Today RDP and Demand Progress launched a new site to track the continued influence of the Epstein Class. Jeffrey Epstein’s transpartisan network went well beyond Trump and Elon, and many are still operating in public life with limited scrutiny. https://t.co/vWr3pcwUkG
