Trump Suspends Funding to the National Endowment for Democracy

The Trump administration has frozen funding to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a US-funded organization that meddles in elections and pushes regime change around the world in the name of “promoting democracy.”

According to The Free Press, an order from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the US Treasury Department that blocked the disbursement of funds to the NED has crippled the organization’s activities.

“It’s been a bloodbath,” an NED staffer told the FP. “We have not been able to meet payroll and pay basic overhead expenses.”
