OK.
The article contains no outright lies, which practically qualifies it as a right-wing lighthouse of truth and honesty these days. But once you dig in a bit, it's not quite the story the article is trying to tell.
Stacy Abrams is Senior Counsel for Rewiring America and Rewiring America (founded in 2020) is one of
five existing non-profits that came together to form Power Forward Communities, the recipient of the $2b grant. That's all true.
What the Free Beacon left out is that two of the other five non-profits are
The United Way and
Habitat for Humanity International, two organizations I suspect you and others have heard of. I'll add that the CEO of Power Forward Communities is former
Fannie Mae CEO Tim Mayopoulos. He is kind of a serious guy, if you care to review his credentials.

By the way, all of this information has been posted on each organization's websites for one to two years, so the idea that DOGE somehow "discovered" this publicly available info is disingenuous.
So, identifying Power Forward Communities as "Stacy Abrams linked", when she is Legal Counsel for one of the five non-profits that make up the group, while technically true, is also working hard to suggest more than maybe the facts support. Omitting relevant information like the name and background of the CEO and the other involved non-profits does the same.
$2b is a lot of money and I can't speak to whether that grant represents a good use of funds or not, but the suggestion that this deal is simply a means of funneling money to Stacy Abrams doesn't really hold up.
