Your posts are so informative of how many others live, without the freedoms we (use to) take for granted. It lifts me up to see you think we will never acquiesce to Trump. Thank you.

I’m going to take the use of he word “complimentary” to mean that the WaPo is the one offering the access, but that is really the only thing on that page would point one way over the other. Even that isn’t a gurantee, because I know my institution has a similar arrangement with the NYTimes where so long as your initial sign in is on campus you can get mobile access to the Times from any location, with access being paid for by the library as part of an institutional subscription. Yet the promotional literature we have on the arrangement refers to it as “complimentary access.”
Hundreds of thousands of dollars my a**. This will affect a few office buildings in the belt way, but not much more. My experience as a federal employee and purchasing agent is that you are allowed to purchase a (1) subscription for the newspaper(s) of record in your geographic area. Employees don’t get to order their own copies and have the Gov. pay for it. This will save hundreds of dollars, not hundreds of thousands.

What if the New York Times and the Washington Post start supplying their papers to these agencies for free?

Well, then Trump’s cost-saving measure would have worked, silly.

What I did was have the billing through my personal email so I couldn’t get the government rate even though I have a .gov for work.

second: is this legal? can ffvC actually do this?

As noted above (perhaps to some consternation), it has been done before.
There would be more savings if Trump handed over his taxes and directed the agencies to honor the subpoenas (i.e., if he behaved as if he weren’t guilty as hell). That would probably slash DoJ’s litigation budget by half.

Yes. Even found the original article from 2013 when they put up the paywall:

No, that was only in the White House.
Thanks for clarifying.

I actually know a man who gets the paper edition of the NYT every day. Of course, he just turned 90.

That’ll learn um.
But then what will they wrap the dead fish they intend to send you with, Donald?
The Fox News Dronicle?
The New York Post-Unintelligencer?
Will he also ban all the porn sites most WH staffers spend all day watching, or would that lead to a zombie apocalypse and mass frat boy revolt?
