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.

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.

DOGE: From Meme to Government Erosion Machine
DOGE: From Meme to Government Erosion Machine serves as a recounting of DOGE’s first year. We outline DOGE’s operational takeover and systemic demolition of the federal government. We hope this effort to record the scale of DOGE’s destruction engenders much needed accountability for all who enacted and cheered the initiative’s irrational actions.

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
Plus, we don't need polling to know how people feel. Voters in Loudoun County just elected a vehemently anti-data center state rep a couple of months ago. His focus on stopping data center buildout drew national coverage! 4/end https://t.co/ixSMxMvrjx
When @mattyglesias pointed out that 10% was unrealistic, Shor pointed to Loudoun County Virginia. However: 1. Loudoun has the most data centers *in the world* 2. The state of VA is hemorrhaging revenue, even though Loudoun is making more 3/ https://t.co/mVTAHgtWS6
