The White House said Wednesday that federal agencies are in the process of terminating expensive contracts with Politico after Elon Musk, leader of the Department of Government Efficiency cost-cutting initiative, called them a “wasteful” use of taxpayer money.
About $8.4 million in taxpayer funds were obligated to Politico over the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2024, according to data on usaspending.gov.
The current award amount is $8.2 million, according to the website.

Drain the swamp! We love President Trump!
Lies. Where is the proof? Where is the evidence? Does she even engage in critical thinking or uphold DEI merit-based standards? By now, she should know that Trump makes things up on a regular basis and threatens anyone who does not agree with his lies — which is a sign of cowardice at an abject level. Consider that he is now going after the ICC because the he thinks ethnic cleansing and/or the deaths of 46, 000 Palestinians should not be classified as war crimes even though he knows that there is plenty of evidence or proof of crimes against humanity. At the same time, he says he is a Christian. But how does he reconcile the deaths of 46, 000 mostly Palestinian women and children with the teachings of Jesus – – – knowing that his answer will expose his belief system, his level of faith and/or his sense of morality? He must explain his answer, at its root, to the nation and leave the ICC alone until he does.
It’s like the Biden crime gang’s ‘ cash for influence ‘ racket . The Chinese Communist Party and Russian billionaires payed Joe and family members $20+ million – as per their bank records – for business and political influence in the U.S . Likewise USAID – paid $8 million of taxpayer money to Politico to publish blatant TDS lies and propaganda to attempt to influence voters – although most Politico readers are the – blue haired 125 genders / mandatory gender reassignment for all 5 year olds – brigade and were only going to vote for the corrupt dementia-suffering idiot Biden anyway, , or the cackling DEI hire nobody Harris who turned out to be even dumber than Joe. So a waste of taxpayer money then.
Can't trust Politco.
Thank you
Demoshits being whiny and crying shows they’re about to lose everything and become incredibly desperate
Now he is beginning to Drain the Swamp! A promise made 8 years ago.

This is egregious misinformation, and you are eating it up. Politico pro is a subscription service, used by members of the government that is expensed, just like a business will expense a piece of equipment (something necessary to get the job done). It is necessary for members of government to be informed on what is happening globally and domestically. Hope this clears everything up, the new press secretary should not be stirring such misinformation, somewhat disappointing…
👏👏🫡🫡🫡❤️❤️❤️❤️ DISGUSTING!
GREAT JOB !!!!
We must keep our money in our own country!!
All of the crooked democrats must be banned from any office for life !!!!
What can go wrong cutting off access to a large database of information from around the world.
We wouldn't want government employees thinking for themselves or being well informed.
Yeah!!!😊
I hope you have to publicly apologize. How could you be so dumb and be the press secretary? The $8 million was not for politico the news outlet. It was for politico pro which is something the government uses for stats and figures. But keep making up your lies
Trump please make Chelsa Clinton pay back the 84 million dollars she received from the Government for doing absolutely "nothing"!!!
hey what is this with "I've identified you" stuff???? This is a sure sign of our current slide toward authoritarianism. I will say whatever ever tf I want to say so deal with it!
Line by line is great, but USAID is smirks and perks. Let's do a line by line on the $36 trillion in national debt, or it's all smoke and mirrors.
You’re so fake Karoline , be ashamed of yoursel.
Karoline Leavitt owes more than $325,000 in unpaid debts from her failed 2022 congressional campaign in New Hampshire. New reporting and filings with the Federal Election Commission reveal she didn’t disclose that for years.The lion's share of that debt is owed as refunds to donors who appear to have given above the legal limit. Does that debt qualify as fraud or abuse?
Karoline was already two months pregnant when her much older husband proposed. They were then married "secretly."
Waving a bunch of blank papers around
You go girl
NPR your next for your BS
Glad we have common sense back around. Amen.
Free speech in USA 😂😂😂😂
