Wasn’t the politico thing specifically bunk? Like those were $44k of subscription fees over several years and not $8M
My understanding was that the fees were for Politico Pro, which has an API that's useful for pulling us govt open data.
I'm not going to fall for paying politico for subscriptions means we've fallen to communism but how is the US Gov. paying a private third party for an API to pull data off of US govt. open data?
I completely misread the source I was thinking of. My bad.
