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.

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.

Trump's mistreatment of disaster victims in blue states continues. In the past week, he denied three appeals—one from IL and two from CO—even though each disaster exceeded the threshold for aid. https://t.co/4XSm0Ijbih
If Democrats can capitalize on Trump’s immense unpopularity, they can’t return to business as usual. They’ll have to rebuild the capacity of agencies like NOAA and FEMA address climate change while immediately reversing course on fossil fuel policy.
And if Americans want relief this hurricane season, they shouldn’t hold their breath waiting for FEMA. The Vought-powered “downsizing” of FEMA has destroyed our ability to get Americans back on their feet when they lose homes, belongings, and loved ones. https://t.co/SwXkUb2R1t
The gutting of NOAA is even more terrifying given the Trump administration’s goal of supercharging fossil fuel consumption through the sale of federal lands, the ending of clean energy projects, and more. https://t.co/iglp3EiiP8
Vought’s war on climate science isn’t new. As our Kenny Stancil wrote last July, NOAA workers have been subject to mass firings, a hostile work environment, and a lack of key resources like weather balloons. The EPA has been similarly damaged. https://t.co/eouSQm1YCh
Vampire Vought is sucking the funding out of NOAA–the agency responsible for collecting indispensable atmospheric data. This decision will have catastrophic consequences for our ability to forecast and fight severe weather events. https://t.co/gYpyutBJ0O
