The Trump administration has moved to push out a swathe of federal workers previously involved in combating election-related disinformation, according to three people familiar with the matter, amid allegations from congressional Republicans that their work unfairly targeted conservative speech online.

Roughly half a dozen employees from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency who once worked in its Election Security and Resilience division were notified Thursday night they were being put on administrative leave, said the three people, who were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters.

Politico.

Have they paid their employees yet? It sucks for them that they lost their USAID money.

“Disinformation” = anything that makes Democrats look bad.

[Skwor]

Given that Poltico has taken federal money and they are now writing a political article in opposition to one political party they are in violation of numerous laws against using tax money in targeting political speech and opponents.

politico ... sour grapes

According to a Daily Mail article:

records showed Politico received the $8.2 million across 236 subscriptions.

So the US government paid $34,745 per subscription.

Politico defends government's $8million spend on subscriptions after fiery Karoline Leavitt press conference

Anonymous sources strike again: “...said the three people, who were granted anonymity.”

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Does that article say that the US govt paid for 100% of those subscriptions? I really don’t know the answer, but it does look suspicious. I would pay zero for politico access.
