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.

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.

Interior Secretary and oil industry ally Doug Burgum is on the Hill smearing clean energy as a national security risk. It's nonsense. David Arkush of @Public_Citizen said it best: "Doug Burgum should focus on America’s interior, not our exterior—nor on kissing Trump’s posterior. https://t.co/KHql431ipa
The fact is, our politicians can follow the letter of existing ethics laws and still create situations rife with opportunities for personal profiteering because of outdated ethics regimes that have long failed to meet 21st century realities. Read on: https://t.co/HfJSeoEuKg
