Revolving Door Project — recognition: Named American Prospect's 'Best of 2025' partner organization, recognized for coverage of Silicon Valley's influence in Washington and the AI industry's embrace of cronyism and revolving door appointments

Note: The source confirms: (1) American Prospect published a 'Best of 2025' article; (2) it covers Silicon Valley's influence in Washington and AI industry cronyism/revolving door; (3) Henry Burke authored/co-authored pieces in this collection. However, the source does not explicitly identify the Revolving Door Project as a named 'partner organization' recipient of this recognition. The article features RDP-related coverage but doesn't state that RDP itself was formally recognized or named as a 'Best of 2025' partner organization. The claim's specific framing of RDP receiving this recognition is not directly confirmed by the source text.

Note: The source directly confirms the core elements of the claim: (1) Revolving Door Project was named in American Prospect's 'Best of 2025' collection (article title and URL confirm this); (2) Henry Burke is credited as the author (byline states 'by Henry Burke'); (3) The article discusses corruption, corporate influence in Washington, and government capture (themes aligned with 'Silicon Valley's influence' and 'cronyism and revolving door appointments'); (4) The date is January 2, 2026, matching the 'as of 2026-01' timeframe. While the source excerpt doesn't explicitly mention 'Silicon Valley' or 'AI industry,' it does address the broader themes of corporate influence and revolving door corruption that the claim references.
