Original Note:
USAID did NOT spend millions to fund Politico. Instead, they spent around $40,000 on Politico’s pro service that offers in depth bill tracking, news, and other government-specific information. Members from both parties buy pro; it’s government’s Bloomberg terminal. https://x.com/Ike_Saul/status/1887167217516626305 https://www.foxnews.com/media/politico-pays-employees-late-staffers-believe-elon-musks-crackdown-government-spending-played-role https://thedispatch.com/article/fact-check-politico-usaid-funding/?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=syndication
