About the Revolving Door Project

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.

Sean Duffy Vacations Amidst Airline Disasters
Over the past seven months, there have been 3 commercial airline crashes resulting in 11 deaths, along with numerous near-misses and deadly small plane crashes. Rather than addressing the ongoing deterioration of America’s transportation infrastructure, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has been on vacation and filming a reality TV show with his family, all seemingly paid for by the very companies he should be regulating.

Tracking the Environmental Harms of Trump Actions
Trump’s second term began with drastic announcements on Day One and has been chaotic every day since. It can be overwhelming to try to keep up with the cuts to environmental funding, rollbacks to critical regulations, and track the thousands of staff across agencies who have been fired from their roles. The purpose of this tracker is to monitor some of the most important tangible increases in pollution and environmental and health harms caused by the Trump administration’s actions.

This is the same guy who said, "I can't see anything that we did wrong" in reference to the Trump administration's horribly bungled response to the Texas flooding disaster. See our earlier thread on the subject. ⬇️ https://t.co/cDNLneKcai
Last July, then-acting FEMA chief David Richardson told House lawmakers that "the vast majority of phone calls were answered" in the aftermath of deadly flooding in Texas. New reporting provides further evidence that Richardson lied to Congress. ⬇️ https://t.co/896KMRjNMp https://t.co/aKNtKgzcCa
Trump's FEMA Review Council is currently explaining the proposed reforms in its final report. Among other things, the panel is recommending privatization of the National Flood Insurance Program. We described the problems w/ that approach in @LeverNews. https://t.co/Ckf4xW6dWY
