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.
Projects
The Agency Spotlight
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.

Draining National Parks to Fill the Reflecting Pool
The National Park Service (NPS) is charged with stewarding what author and environmentalist Wallace Stegner called America’s “best idea.”
From the striking expanse of the Chihuahuan Desert, partially contained in Big Bend National Park, to the towering stone walls of Yosemite, the United States government has the privilege of caring for some of the most overwhelmingly beautiful vistas in the world.
For more than 100 years, recreational fees have been collected at a subsect of our National Parks to explicitly and specifically support the management and responsible stewardship of these lands on behalf of present and future generations.

Perpetual futures are wildly popular in shady off-shore crypto exchanges; APEC argues that bringing them “on shore” to equity markets will make them safer. But financial watchdogs like @BetterMarkets argue they're better suited for gamblers than consumer investors. https://t.co/6TX5ro725U
APEC will ask the CFTC for permission to list high-risk financial instruments called perpetual futures contracts. Given Senator Gillibrand's leadership in crypto and financial regulation, one wonders whether investors are excited about the company or the last name of its founder.
NEW in @TheProspect : Silicon Valley financiers are frothing at the mouth over a startup founded by Kirsten Gillibrand’s fresh-out-of-college son. Last month the company, APEC, was valued at $300 million. https://t.co/jFxcv917hv
