OMG. I didn’t have this in my bingo card.

I’m going to leave this link here. The righties will look at it. The libs will say it’s all lies.

But Politico’s reporters aren’t getting paid and now we know why!

This winning. It’s almost too much to bear.

How many other news outlets are like this? CNN routinely gets out-rated by the home shopping network…how do they stay afloat?

This just gets better and better.

37 subscriptions to Politico for half a million dollars.

THAT's what fraud and money laundering look like. With taxpayer dollars!

What else are they going to find????

And let's all remember just which outlet "broke" the Hunter Biden laptop story, spun it the right way, and ultimately handed Biden the 2020 election...

...none other than Politico.

This kind of Deep State crap has been going on for decades. I'm so grateful for all the magnifying glasses that DOGE will hold under the sun. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

And what do you know? Here's the millions in federal taxpayer money that The Associated Press has been getting:

Zero it all out.

Every. Last. Dime.

And now:

The New York Times.
The BBC.

It's all unraveling.

This feels a lot like when I watched the Berlin Wall come down on TV in the '80s...a sea change is upon us.

Yep, if it isn't necessary, cut it and give those who approved it some publicity too.

Thank you President Trump, through your authorized agents at DOGE, for bringing sunlight to a darkened world.

The type on that twitter post was too small for me to see the detail of the charts, but I did recognize the tool he was using. A few weeks ago I was noodling around to find something the prop up a post I was considering, when I ran across this search tool. I spend an hour with it for what I thought would be basic search,something simple like USAID spending in 2024, before giving up.

Perhaps some you smart guys are interested enough to figure out this tool. I may make another run at it myself, regarding subscription payments to Politico over the last ten years, that would be fun.


Here is a link to the search page. Enjoy.

Thanks Dope, I couldn't figure it out as a downstream post admits, I was trying a two variable search which always returned either nothing or the first 100 records out of 500 million. I salute your search foo.

The real heroes here are the twenty-somethings running around diving into every database to sunlight all this info.

How much deeper does the rot go? When they do the Pentagon that's where some fun will be had, all right! State Department also.
