Great—let the federal employees who authorized those payments explain it—in a courtroom in front of a jury of their peers.
Let us see if the scam works there.
Oh “misinformed” and “false”. Now all you azhos at Politico need is some credibility.
Exactly what we would expect you to say.
And government entities buying subscriptions amounts to ‘not one dime’?
You mean Politico pro is a front group for Politico, like USAID is a front group for the CIA.
In other words, government subscribes to Politico to learn what’s going on in government.
Makes perfect sense in Government World. It’s just to hard to pick up the phone and call Bob over at Department XYZ and ask “What are you guys working on?”
So.. No money from Politico Pro goes to Politico?
Is he saying they are completely separate entities?
it’s like that old scam of.. I am not selling alcohol! I am charging $20 for a bag.. and there may or may not be alcohol in it. but, that’s free!
With no paycheck this week. Sorry.
They call it a Chinese wall....
I am not making this up!
Don’t they constantly claim that they are independent, and thus not really a government agency?
Does the private sector pay $14,000 per subscription too?
I guess he might fool the idiots who trust Politico. But not smart people.
Do we know if politico and BBC employees are eligible for that trump buyout/ severance offer?
Damage control now that Politico has been called out and shown to be a paid propaganda outlet.
Me thinks they doth protest too much.
Sounds like the guy is so innocent, so maybe he wouldn’t mind if DOGE checked his books.
“POLITICO is a privately owned company. We have never received any government funding — no subsidies, no grants, no handouts. Not one dime, ever, in 18 years.”
Bull, USAID buying tens of thousands of subscriptions is laundered funding. Politico is Government funded mouthpiece that couldn’t meet payroll Tyra day after government money was cut off.
“Mockingbird” 2025.
Translation: “We didn’t design those fig-leaf “Pro” subscriptions for nothing!”
AI says they have received $44,000.

I’m sure the real amount is many times that.
