You think that makes it any better? Why would Politico get ANY money from the taxpayers, much less 8.2 million total?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.
No, Politico Did Not Receive ‘Substantial Funds’ from USAID
Various government agencies have purchased subscriptions to its publications since 2016.thedispatch.com
$44K is not "substantial" I guess to wealthy liberals living off the taxpayer teat, but to those hardworking taxpayers, it could make the difference between home ownership and renting, between college with no loans and college with crushing debt.
This is the kind of arrogance that made you lose, my guy. Just sayin' . . .

I wonder how much $$$$ was spent on the advertising market to make sure that every ******* commercial has black people in them....
No SeaSwab.Oooooo, a new NARRATIVE.
New exposure for the other........... trust fund baby.
Best of luck with that. Romance has been found in stranger places.
And just look at what we're uncovering! Go on the record, is it a good thing to uncover and end the waste and fraud at the agency or not?Because they were investigating Starlink and Ukraine.
Elon Musk’s Enemy, USAID, Was Investigating Starlink’s Contracts in Ukraine
The Lever reported Tuesday that USAID’s inspector general was in the process of investigating its own public-private partnership between Musk’s Starlink and the Ukrainian government at the time that the billionaire’s DOGE crippled the agency. Publicly available information about that probe is still online. An announcement from last May reads: “The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine. Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.”
Musk has called the agency “evil” and a “criminal organization,” though the fact that USAID was investigating the Starlink activities may suggest ulterior motivations for the billionaire’s vitriol. It’s unclear what the Starlink probe’s status is right now.
Musk’s “criminal” remarks are funny since it increasingly looks like Musk’s DOGE activities represent breaches of federal law and, therefore, may be construed as rampant criminal behavior.

You indoctrinated fools will defend Democratic corruption to the very end. You cheer as the politicians getting rich from corruption denounce those that wish to remove the corruption. These politicians know they are leading a large group of useful idiots that help them enrich themselves by essentially voting FOR corruption. Wake up.

Maybe we can trust the people running those departments to do honest audits of themselves.
Right, the standard ways involving slow, quiet, undercover analyses under the control of the same entities running the agency that take years and produce nothing. We've seen how effective those are. In this case, the department was merged into State, where it makes sense, since both are supposed to be dealing with international relations. This way the cover gets ripped off and everyone can see what was going on, instead of the carefully controlled release of information intended only to limit damage to the institution.
