Now Is The Time For Fighters

On Monday, Senator Elizabeth Warren gave a speech at the National Press Club about how Democrats can rebuild durable trust with voters, win elections, and enact systemic change. She spoke with energy about how Democrats cannot win back a lasting majority by watering down their economic vision, and how candidates in future elections must “credibly demonstrate that they will take on a rigged system in order to fix it.” In other words, she called for the members of her party to refashion themselves as willing fighters.

Introducing “Watchdog Weekly”

Welcome back to the Revolving Door Project’s weekly newsletter, which is getting a new name: Watchdog Weekly. We’ve been writing this newsletter since the end of 2018, through three presidential administrations, two general elections, and an ongoing crisis of corporate accountability. Since the beginning, we’ve scrutinized the subtle ways in which corporate wealth shapes our politics: not only through direct spending and lobbying, but via the revolving door between industry and government, through interest groups and formal and informal networks, media influence, and more. We exist to help fill the vacuum of knowledge about who holds power and how power is wielded. We are watchdogs, and we wanted a name for this newsletter that reflects our mission to shed light on the ways that money corrupts politics which may otherwise evade scrutiny.
