hell yes! another shitbag agency gutted!

This group has been working to undermine America for many decades, and has been overtly hostile to the Trump agenda to root out corruption and waste

These chickenshit bastards can’t even make payroll without MY TAX DOLLARS

frick them and good riddance!!

quote:

The DOGE team has now taken the step, reported earlier this week, of freezing government payments to the National Endowment for Democracy, a private organization that in 2023 received a $315 million appropriation from Congress, paid via the State Department.


quote:

The order from DOGE to freeze further disbursements to the NED has paralyzed the organization, according to news reports. “It’s been a bloodbath,” one NED staffer said. “We have not been able to meet payroll and pay basic overhead expenses.” It sounds as if what happened to USAID last week has now happened to the NED.

DOGE doesn't give orders, just recommendations.

Anne Applebaum, a member of the NED’s board of directors, recently published a book presenting Donald Trump as a shady, near-authoritarian figure who is not unlike Putin, Orbán, Aleksandr Lukashenko of Belarus, and so on. She repeated these claims several times in the course of the 2024 election campaign and published an article three weeks before the election titled, “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.” Robert Kagan, an advisor to the NED and a member of the editorial board of Journal of Democracy (an NED publication, not to be confused with Democracy journal), in 2023 published an article in The Washington Post under the title “A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable.” He published his own book last year claiming that Donald Trump, along with his voters, is out to destroy American democracy and the nation’s constitutional order. He resigned from his role as an editor at the Post when its publisher refused to endorse Kamala Harris in the presidential election.


I remember both of these articles in the past several months. They are as bad as you could imagine... all from the National Endowment for Democracy -- a non-partisan group.... and as it turns out (plot twist) - paid for by you and me.
