Clearly they will deflect on ANYTHING that comes out. Its comical.
USAID....WTF????

Actually, EVERYONE knows that they waste money. It just that someone finally realised that it was about time that crap starts to get identified and stopped.
Oh they know they waste money. And they know they are the beneficiary of said waste. There is nothing more transparent than a grifter complaining when someone gets wise to the grift.
Not one MAGAt will answer you. Telling.Trump overcharged his service by over 300% at his hotels breaking federal limits.
Seriously, MAGA, why is this okay?
Trump overcharged Secret Service by 300% for accommodations at his hotels
House oversight committee’s report further called the ex-president’s term ‘world’s greatest get-rich-quick scheme’www.theguardian.com
Some “bombshell” from America’s MAGAts…
Data from USAspending.gov shows of the $8 million spent on payments for Politico products in 2024, the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Interior and Department of Energy each paid over $1 million in 2024. USAID paid $24,000 for Politico subscriptions in the 2024 fiscal year, up from $20,000 the previous year.
In a letter to staff on Wednesday, Politico's editor-in-chief John Harris said, "POLITICO has never been a beneficiary of government programs or subsidies — not one cent, ever, in 18 years." Harris also wrote that "the overwhelming majority" of Politico Pro subscriptions come from the private sector.
Additionally, congressional records show both Republicans and Democrats and the committees they lead paid for Politico subscriptions in the last year.
The office of Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, who accused Politico of "grift" on social media Wednesday, paid more than $7,000 to Politico LLC for "publications and reference material" according to the House Statement of Disbursement for the first quarter of 2024.
The same records show the Office of the Speaker of the House paid over $9,000 and the Republican-led House Committee on Energy and Finance paid over $58,000 to Politico LLC that quarter.
CBS News has reached out to Rep. Boebert and Speaker Johnson's office for comment.
LOL.
Trump makes misleading claims about government payments to Politico. Here's a fact check.
Records show federal agencies, as well as Republican and Democratic lawmakers, paid for subscriptions to Politico. But the company says it's never received federal subsidies.

I kinda think that one will deserve its own spotlight.
As the late Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen once said - “ A million here and a million there and pretty soon you’re talking about real money”.
😏
Here’s the thing. Economics can be a cruel mistress especially in the development realm.
Once upon a time, a company called Tom’s shoes came up with this marketing idea to provide a free pair of shoes in Africa for every pair bought in the us. Nice of them.
So the public development world, ie usaid, was all over pumping money into it.
Until, of course, it totally ****ed local cobblers in Africa by screwing their supply chain.
“Teach a man to fish” indeed.

Who cares? Just support the purge and when it's over then find out what happened.
They haven't revealed anything that wasn't already publicly available.
He didn’t have to. The government audits Trump every year and has been doing so for many years. They audit most billionaires and multimillionaires regularly because that’s where the money is. His taxes were illegally leaked anyway. Finally, you are conflating private financial information with public information.
Congress votes and signs off on budgets every year.
Has DOGE audited the spending at Mar-A-Lago yet? The making the military stay at Trump properties?
Transparency and all
I don’t know - but the question made me wonder if he’ll donate his salary again like he did the first time around.
*Like he said he did
We also didn’t get a ‘divesting his business’ press conference this time
I was on USAID projects in Ukraine. Here come the ha ha r's. The projects there were legit, if a bit naive. When the funding allowed Ukrainians to come here, I had to end it due to the fact the son's of 1st gen wealth (former commies) were trying to source stolen cars to fill a container going to Ukraine.
Don’t you yearn for the days when we had unelected bureaucrats running our country?
It doesn't look like USAID was wanting anyone to go through their expenditures........
It's one giant leftist grift machine (at least, it was)
Politico? CBS News – Trump's tax returns released by House committee (December 30, 2022). He was late for sure......but lets see if he releases his current taxes this year.
Democrat-run media didn't approve of Lincoln either. Trump doesn't have to release shit. The day Pelosi; Schumer; Watters; Warren; Swalwell; The Squad and the Biden family get legit audited by the IRS is the day they can make requests of Trump. Since that day will never arrive, they can GFThemselves.
I’ve been saying it for months.
The Biden Administration was the most corrupt in US history.
Dems, you can hate how this is going down with Elon and DOGE but how can you explain what is being presented on what has been happening in USAID?
If this is all true and the money that is being sent out to all this is waste and fraud, how can you still make decides for this nonsense?
This is ****ing craziness of the inner workings of the USAID and how bipartisan it is with using these NGOs to get rich by using our tax dollars. We have Flint Michigan with dirty water but the “oligarchs” of Washington are using our tax dollars to give money to Politico or some pointless project in Lebanon.
If this is true, this is beyond pathetic.

Democratic Grift Machine imploding day by day.
Frauds and Grifters through and through. All of them.
It’s not just a democratic grift machine. These long term Republican Congress people are just as guilty.
Democrats never gave a shit about poor or black people. Look at their actions.
Elon Musk flew into Flint and tried to help fix it though and they hate his guts.
The hypocrisy is astounding.
No Democratic party presidential candidate ever went to Flint to try and fix the water.
Kamala was too busy boozing it up on Air Force One.
