With over $130 Million from USAID, IRI has been involved in contentious "Governmental Overhauls" around the world:
Ukraine's Orange Revolution (2004): IRI supported the pro-Western opposition, contributing to the revolution that led to a significant political shift, ensuring Viktor Yushchenko's presidency after a contentious election.
Ukraine's Euromaidan Protests (2014): IRI was active in supporting activists and political groups, which led to the ousting of President Yanukovych.
This upheaval set the stage for Volodymyr Zelensky's election in 2019.
Venezuela: Supported opposition groups amidst political turmoil.
Georgia (2003 Rose Revolution): Played a role in the change of government.
Belarus: Engaged in programs against the long-standing regime.
Serbia (2000): Contributed to the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević.

The threat of exposure of their kickbacks should cause Jodi Ernst and Lindsay Graham, among others, to stay in line.
I saw this mentioned the other day. Dems are not the only ones scamming Americans with the USAID scandals now uncovered.
One would think.
All GWB’s “points of light” front organizations were in on the USAID scam.
this is like watching the collapse of the Berlin Wall
Let’s do like the Germans - have a full public reckoning and just release ALL the Stasi files.
“””Board of the International Republican Institute (IRI), from 1993”””
As a MAGA deplorable, I would like to see the list of GOP board members for each year 1993 to date.
Research and qualitative and quantitative public opinion data are a cornerstone of IRI’s approach to programming. IRI’s Center for Insights and Survey Research (CISR) leads the Institute’s efforts and to date, IRI has polled more than 1.5 million citizens through more than 1,000 polls in over 100 countries.

An interesting history of involvement through the eyes of wiki.
Joni was threatened when she wanted to look into USAID.

I posted something yesterday that I can’t find now. It was from a socialist site. Maybe Freedom Workers Party . It was maybe 20 years old.
It laid the scenario out how the offshoots work on both sides. Turns out, they were right.
here it is from two decades ago. The last two I don’t know about. I think Stefanik may have resigned as a Director of NED. She isn’t on their site anymore.
“The NED funds four constituencies: Republicans through the International Republican Institute, Democrats through the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, big business through the Center for International Private Enterprise, and labor through the American Center for International Labor Solidarity (ACILS), the successor to AIFLD since 1997. ACILS is also known as the Solidarity Center.”
She was beholdin' to Mitt Romney and his machine from back in the days when Team Willard was perpetually in Iowa flooding the zone WRT the Iowa Caucus. I initially thought she had put a sufficient air gap between herself and the really big chunks at the top of the RINO septic tank, but I was wrong.
I would love to hear the nature of the threat since she was also involved as was Rubio
Such as did they say “Do what we say or we will gut you (literally or figuratively)”
There are 542 comments there. what do they say?
Commie Karen Bass was a Vice Chair of NED. I think she resigned when she became LA Mayor
