After word got out from the US DOGE Service that taxpayers gave Politico $32 million last year in payments for subscriptions and other uses, the outlet took a beating on social media. Curiously, Politico didn’t say much in response. David found this curious as well:
Has anyone else noticed that @politico is taking a pounding on X, and as far as I can tell, they have been silent about it? Anybody seen a statement about the government funneling money to them?

Perhaps they had to allocate their resources to customer service. One might imagine that operators for their subscription service got inundated by questions and cancellations, including from their biggest client segment … bureaucrats. And at $12,000 a pop annually, that’s an expensive deluge of transactions to manage.
We’ll get back to that absurd price…
