What happens when federal officials go to work for the industries they once regulated? In Episode 2 of *Irregular Regularities*, we examine Washington’s revolving door and how the movement between public office and private industry can shape who has access to federal decision-makers.

Drawing on federal lobbying disclosures and findings from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, this episode explores ethics rules, cooling-off periods, and gaps in oversight. What do these safeguards cover, and where do conflicts of interest still put public trust at risk?
