An example of why I haven't quite managed to leave the hellsite yet:
X Post by Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul Alright I swear this is the last time I am going to try to explain this but nobody can read govt docs so here goes! 1. Politico did NOT get "$8 million in a year" from USAID. It got $8 million from 2016 to fiscal year 2025 from ALL government agencies and departments. 2. USAID spent a grand total of $44,000 on Politico Pro subscriptions over two years. That is it. It was for a subscription to their trade pub E&E. 3. All of this information is freely available on http://USAspending.gov, the source website everyone is getting these numbers from. 4. Politico Pro is not = Politico dot com, the website you are all familiar with. It is a premium subscription service that has dashboards, tools, legislative tracking, etc. In many cases it costs north of $10,000/year per subscription. 5. If you are sharing claims counter to these, you are spreading disinformation because you don't know how to read a government database.
