Who wants to tell the low-information cry babies and political grifters that USAID was a money-and-info-laundering scheme?

We do!

*Politico received money from a variety of US agencies because bureaucrats subscribed to the Pro newsletter. Disregard the breathless headline and read what CNN had to say.

This is what we are pissed about:

In reality, the payments represented the whole of the federal government’s subscriptions to the news outlets’ services. All federal agencies combined spent $8.2 million last year on Politico Pro, according to USASpending.gov.

At a White House press briefing, Leavitt told reporters that she had been made aware of USAID funding to media outlets, including Politico, and noted that taxpayer dollars that have been allocated toward “essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico on the American taxpayers’ dime will no longer be happening.”
