Seems the "REPORTER" was Chad Pergram from FOX...infotainment, not journalism. Nothing to see here.

Spoken like a typical gubmint worker. How about you list his ideology instead of throwing out a trite statement? Where is Trump failing? Then we can talk. Until then, you are being intellectually lazy and repeating USAID talking points.UNI88 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2025 5:05 pmYet you have no problem with trump pulling funding, firing workers, etc. in order to censor views he doesn't like. Ideological purges are total crap regardless of the ideology.SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2025 1:50 pm
Because you attacked Mint Press in order to bring mronline ability into question. Mint Press was the subject of their story. USAID was used to suppress Mint Press, and thus all their subscribers, reach. Restricting first amendment rights.
This same action has been uncovered over and over with USAID. Taxpayer dollars go to some DC group to censor views USAID doesn't like. Total crap.
Which agencies has trump targeted for reductions? The ones more likely to have liberal staffers? Why hasn't he targeted the military? Is there no waste in military spending worth going after?SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2025 6:26 pmSpoken like a typical gubmint worker.

Defend your stance or STFU.
Really. You think taking my argument and replacing it with your bullshit works here? No. Fuck no and stop being so fucking lazy. Trump is still in the evaluation stage, which proves you aren't paying attention, just whining like an infant.UNI88 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2025 6:56 pmWhich agencies has trump targeted for reductions?

Taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for tens of thousands of subscriptions for magazines.UNI88 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2025 11:46 am Politico publishes note ‘to set the record straight’ on government subscription outrage
“POLITICO has been the subject of debate on X this week. Some of it has been misinformed, and some of it has been flat-out false. Let’s set the record straight,” the outlet wrote as part of a memo published on its website. “POLITICO is a privately owned company. We have never received any government funding — no subsidies, no grants, no handouts. Not one dime, ever, in 18 years.”
...
Most Politico Pro subscribers are in the private sector, the company said Thursday, and come from across the ideological spectrum, with a renewal rate of around 90 percent every year “because they rely on our reporting, data, and insights.”
“Government agencies that subscribe do so through standard public procurement processes— just like any other tool they buy to work smarter and be more efficient. This is not funding. It is a transaction — just as the government buys research, equipment, software, and industry reports. Some online voices are deliberately spreading falsehoods,” the outlet said. “Let’s be clear: POLITICO has no financial dependence on the government and no hidden agenda. We cover politics and policy — that’s our job.”

Trying to root out government fraud, waste and abuse are some of the good ingredients. musk and his merry band of bigots using the opportunity to obtain sensitive data they shouldn't have access to and purge people they disagree with is the rotten part of the stew.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2025 9:53 amI have you down for supporting government fraud, waste and abuse

The stew comment was describing USAID, a few good deeds done to mask fraud, waste and abuse and the spreading of liberal manure ideologies… and enriching themselves on the side
