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.

Originating from the spirit to reform the wildly irresponsible Wall Street elite, OFR was charged with providing data, analysis, and research regarding systemic financial risks to the members of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC). Essentially, OFR is an integral part of the federal infrastructure for safeguarding financial stability.

The NLRB has been understaffed and underfunded for years, but more and more workers are covered by union contracts. Rather than push for more resources, Trump's handpicked leadership at the NLRB is changing the rules to reduce the number of cases that reach the agency. https://t.co/9NMuKf3e91
