You're just regurgitating conspiracy theories and political nonsense from the right.

For example: '$8m to the supposedly independent "Politico"' is for subscriptions. So what? The rest is the same sort of nonsense: innuendo, smears and outright lies.

That’s just USAID.

It was 30-40 million for all depts to poltico.

You can not be “independent journalists” when your largest single client is the US Gov.

Politico running the Russia hoax, Hunter’s laptop, and dismissing the wuhan lab leak are three examples of them being on the Biden admin’s side.

Can you point to a single time Poltico backed up a theme or narrative that benefited Trump but turned out to be wrong?

$8M is across the entire executive branch: https://www.usaspending.gov/search/?hash=9820ddd102202d0a46b...

USAID only spent 24,000: https://www.usaspending.gov/search/?hash=7d6ee070efa2439992b...

Please stop repeating misinformation. For your own sake, and for the sake of those around you, please also consider where you're getting information from.
