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.

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.

This is Who the Tech Wonder Boys Always Were
These are not good people. They do not bat an eye at facilitating a mental health epidemic, hurting millions of people with reckless foreign aid cuts, destroying our media ecosystem, or even abetting genocide. Any tent able to accommodate their outsized egos and influence will have no room for the common good or basic human decency.

Trump Is Blinding the Government to Methane Pollution. But Others Are Still Watching.
Methane makes up a small portion of greenhouse gas emissions in terms of quantity, but it is one of the most important drivers of climate change, as it’s over 80 times more powerful at trapping heat than carbon dioxide in its first 20 years in the atmosphere. A significant amount of the extreme warming that we will experience in our lifetimes, and the planetary tipping points that we breach, will be propelled by methane—and emissions are rising faster than ever.

Texas is showing us what real ‘abundance’ looks like

New in @TheProspect: the Trump admin is making every attempt to disappear the government's controls on this invisible super-pollutant, as gas-powered AI data centers worsen the problem. But what we can see is more than enough to justify action. https://t.co/EPkLru73qa
Reminder: Despite the Musk-Trump feud, a significant proportion of DOGE agents—who continue to gut essential government functions and endanger your privacy—have close ties to Elon Musk and his companies. We're continuing to track them here: https://t.co/kiVvCVSa57 https://t.co/z14d6FLemX https://t.co/cmgcbTZave
The future we need isn’t corporate-led “abundance.” It’s shared power & prosperity. Read the full report from @openmarkets and us here: https://t.co/i4T38t43vr
We present a better path: True, democratic abundance. ✅ Strong antitrust enforcement ✅Robust labor rights ✅Environmental protections ✅Shared prosperity, not billionaire power
We’ve already seen Trump officials use “abundance” rhetoric to push new fossil fuel projects—while gutting transparency, public participation, and investments in wind & solar alternatives.
