So here is a chart clearly showing that Politico started receiving money from USAID in 2015 to target Trump before he was elected and then skyrocketed under Biden. The corruption is never ending and often overlooked. Just like how the MSM will either not report this of downplay it for one day then stop all together. I bet Kkkalm and MGR88 keep spinning it though, they LOVE to have their taxpayers dollars stolen from them as long as its directed at Orangeman Bad!

Well for starters, it’s not funding Politico. Should we check out the rest?

Should we dismiss allegations that Musk was being investigated by USAID’s IG before he/she was fired?

30+ million and counting and Politico sent out an email notifying employees they were not getting paid. Check out their scathing honorable piece on the Hunter Biden laptop story! Politico literally interfered with a US election and Democrats paid them to do it!

Yes please go after Elon Musk, I don't care who is involved, I'm not a partisan hack like you guys. Hang all of them I am also sure Musk hasn't done anything wrong but yeah waste your time like the IG for political retribution no skin off my nuts

Is it just me or is it awesome to know that hundreds if not thousands of parasitic NGO offices are located in and around DC.

And all of the people staffing them are today staring at the abyss of not being able to pay their bills with our confiscated earnings!

Claims That Politico Received USAID Funds Are False
Becker and Johnson’s claims are false. The only payments received by Politico LLC from USAID were for two subscriptions to E&E—an energy and environment publication it produces—totaling $44,000 over two years.

According to USAspending.gov, an official source for U.S. government expenditure data—and the resource used by Becker in his post—Politico received $8.2 million in total payments from government departments and agencies between fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2025. However, only $44,000 of this total came from USAID.

In September 2023, a staff assistant for the Center for Environment, Energy, and Infrastructure—part of USAID’s Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation—purchased a subscription to E&E for $20,000. According to E&E, prices for its professional subscription packages typically start in the upper four-figure range and vary based on how many users have access to a subscription. Another subscription to E&E was purchased in September 2024 for $24,000 by the Center for Climate Positive Development—an office within USAID’s Bureau for Resilience and Food Security.

Funds received by Politico LLC from other government agencies also came mostly from subscriptions to E&E, or for the company’s policy intelligence platform, Politico Pro. The largest spenders have been the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of the Interior (DOI), and Department of Energy (DOE).

Did you fall and hit your head? Have you been hospitalized? Your ability to reason appears to be severely impacted by an injury, stroke, or similar.

I quoted my post that showed MAQA yahoos spreading misinformation about Politico and USAID.

Government employees don't need information? They shouldn't subscribe to sources of information? Sources that cost money? That's bullshit and you know it. You're reaching for an excuse to differentiate between criticizing some entities and not others that get paid by the government.

If government spending is on the chopping block then all of it has to be on the chopping block including spending that benefits musk.

Would you care to take the bet that BobQat chickened out of?
