Your fact check article you cited has been updated with corrections.

The headline of this piece has been updated to more accurately describe the contents of the fact check. While Politico LLC did receive funds from USAID and other government agencies, the money was not for grants but payment for subscriptions to its publications. Also, the $8.2 million figure cited refers to payments in the 12 months leading up to February 2025, not dating back to 2016.

But I don't care about the irony. I wasn't making a point. I posted cuz I found it interesting. That's it.

Thanks, friend!
