President Trump has just ordered the General Services Administration (GSA) to cancel all media contracts funded by the agency.
These include contracts for Politico, Bloomberg, and BBC.
This is a huge blow to the corrupt establishment media…

President Trump’s order to “pull every single media contract” comes after Elon Musk’s DOGE uncovered millions of dollars in agency subscriptions to Politico Pro — a service that costs a whopping $10,000 per subscription!
Why does it cost so much?
It’s simple: Politico sets the price, the government pays (with your tax dollars), and nobody in the agency cares about the cost.
What a waste of taxpayer money.
Brent Scher pointed out:
I just spent a good bit of time on PoliticoPro.
The only reason it costs $10,000 is because government agencies and lobbyists don’t care how much things cost.

From Axios:
The White House has directed the General Services Administration to terminate “every single media contract” expensed by the agency, according to an email obtained by Axios.
What they’re saying: “GSA team, please do two things,” a Trump administration official wrote:
Pull all contracts for Politico, BBC, E&E (Politico sub) and Bloomberg
Pull all media contracts for just GSA – cancel every single media contract today for GSA only.
ADVERTISEMENTWhy it matters: President Trump is targeting the federal government’s media contracts after Elon Musk and his allies discovered millions of dollars in agency subscriptions to Politico Pro, a policy tracking service widely used in Washington.
- The discovery, made through a U.S. government spending database that has long been publicly available, triggered erroneous theories on X about the Biden administration “funding” anti-Trump media.
- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that the executive branch would stop spending money on Politico subscriptions amid the right-wing outrage.
The Post Millennial added:
GSA is in charge of managing real estate, technology services, as well as procurement for the federal government. The move comes after it was revealed by Elon Musk and his DOGE team as well as others that there was rampant waste in spending across government agencies. The premium version of Politico, which tracks granular policy in Congress and other areas, had cost the Biden administration over $8 million. Subscriptions had been purchased by many multiple agencies with the even the Department of Agriculture spending some half million dollars on these subscriptions.
In their defense, Politico said that their product was worth the cost. Along with the subscriptions to Politico Pro, DOGE announced that a contract with the New York Times at the Treasury Department was canceled. The New York Times was also receiving paid subscriptions by government agencies, but the sum in total is far less than $1 million.
It was also revealed on Tuesday that, after USAID was shut down, Politico was unable to pay its employees.
