“DEEP STATE SLUSH FUND”: 81 Traitorous Republicans Vote With Democrats To Fund Anti-Trump NED Targeting MAGA and the Constitution

81 members of the Republican Party voted with Democrats to fund the Democrat NGO National Endowment for Democracy (NED) will get $315 million in annual funding

95% of NED donations go to Democrats.

Everyone needs to read this thread to understand how the Constitution is being targeted and that NED is a key player in this.

NED is my red line for Republicans. If you vote for NED, you deserve primarying. I don’t care if you have sentimental attachments to NED as being… https://t.co/llXK7b6T0u

Kleinfeld is NED. This is what NED believes.

I cannot emphasize enough what a stupid, foolish, idiotic thing it is for Republicans to support NED. They are either mentally retarded or secretly Democrats.

Eighty-one traitorous House Republicans crossed party lines to vote with Democrats to pass funding for the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), approving $315 million in annual taxpayer funding for an NGO that is globalist, partisan, and hostile to President Trump. The vote came despite long-standing concerns that NED has drifted far from its statutory mission, failed basic transparency requirements for more than $300 million in State Department funds, and increasingly functioned as a political actor rather than a neutral democracy promoter.

NED overwhelmingly benefits Democrats—claiming 95% of its donations go to Democratic causes—and has played a role in advancing anti-Trump narratives, foreign regime-change efforts, censorship initiatives, and policies aligned with the Biden-era foreign policy consensus, including prolonging the Ukraine war. The justification offered by GOP leadership was avoiding a government shutdown, a rationale critics reject as an excuse for funding what they call a “Deep State slush fund.”

Let me get this straight:

– NED funnels $300,000,000 of taxpayer dollars through NGOs

– it **literally** funds the censorship of American citizens and the entire “advertiser pressure” complex

– had payments frozen by DOGE

– and yet every single democrat + 81 republicans… https://t.co/TQVnVCKFwq pic.twitter.com/euRP083VvW

The vote has intensified accusations of a Uniparty, with conservatives arguing that party labels no longer matter when both sides continue to finance the same globalist institutions. In response, Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced an amendment to defund NED entirely in the FY2026 appropriations bill, a move that now hinges on whether enough Republicans on the House Rules Committee will allow a floor vote.

Independent Sentinel: An anti-Trump, far-left bill to fund NED passed with 81 House Republican votes. Sen. Mike Lee responded. This is deeply troubling. All the New York RINOs voted for this.

The claim is that they didn’t want another government shutdown. So, it’s okay to fund this far-left operation?

It would help to end the Zombie filibuster:

The National Endowment for Democracy is notoriously globalist. President Trump wanted organizations like NED reduced to their statutory functions. The House is trying to fund it.

Since at least 2021, NED has failed to comply with transparency requirements regarding more than $300 million of taxpayer funding it receives from the U.S. Department of State. There are regulations requiring transparency.

The president wants these organizations reduced to their statutory functions. NED, in particular, went from its roots pushing democracy to branding conservatives and popularly elected officials as all authoritarian.

James Pierson writes at The New Criterion:
In truth, the NED has been running its own renegade foreign policy under the guise of promoting democracy. That policy is often at odds with President Trump’s approach. Regarding the Russia–Ukraine war, President Trump has said that he wants to see a negotiated settlement that would end the fighting and stop the drain on America’s resources. The NED has taken a different view, in line with the Biden approach, that the war should continue until Putin withdraws his forces.

NED directly funded pressure attacks on advertisers to get advertisers to defund populist news sites.

Could this have something to do with the funding? The Ukraine War? They will disrupt President Trump’s agenda.

More from Pierson:
The NED was originally set up as a bipartisan operation, but in recent years moved in a highly partisan direction, no doubt related to Trump’s election to the presidency in 2016. At that moment, according to a former director, the NED launched a relentless attack on Donald Trump and the Republican party. During the 2016 campaign, Carl Gershman, the NED’s former president, published an article in The Washington Post endorsing the claim that Trump worked with Putin to win the election. Afterwards, he contributed to a symposium in that paper on the theme that, following Trump’s victory, American democracy was somehow “broken.” Others at the NED have followed along that partisan path.

They helped the false Putin narrative, and Republicans want to refuel them with $300 million?

As if that isn’t enough, they had a lot to do with the fire and brimstone speech Joe Biden made with a Hellscape setting.

The people behind this speech, the NGOs and far-left activists, haven’t gone anywhere, and they will be back with a vengeance if Trump doesn’t succeed in destroying the source of their reach and funding.

As per NPR, Sean Wilentz, Allida Black, Anne Applebaum, Michael Beschloss, and Jon Meacham wrote the speech.

X influencer Publius calls them RINOs, but it’s so much worse than that. It’s a betrayal.

Publius Writes: House “Republican Leadership” wants to give $315 million in tax dollars to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a left-wing propaganda outfit.

NED is a Deep State slush fund exposed by DOGE for spending billions on regime-change operations, color revolutions, and woke activists to topple governments.

NED is the core of the global Censorship Industrial Complex, a CIA cutout redefining “democracy” for elitist control, using backchannel deals with the EU to silence conservatives worldwide.

Thomas Massie (R-KY) has introduced an amendment to defund NED entirely in the FY2026 appropriations bill. It requires seven Republicans on the Rules Committee to force a floor vote.

These are the Republican members on the House Rules Committee who hold the power right now: Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Chip Roy (R-TX), Erin Houchin (R-IN), Nicholas A. Langworthy (R-NY), Austin Scott (R-GA), H. Morgan Griffith (R-VA), Brian Jack (R-GA).
