The NED, which are the architects of color revolutions in Eastern Europe including Ukraine and Georgia, states that as a result of the freeze “it has been unable to meet its obligations and has been forced to suspend support for nearly 2,000 partners worldwide.”
“Ninety-five percent of NED’s funding is directly appropriated by Congress and is not considered foreign assistance. This funding therefore was not subject to the executive order freezing foreign assistance for a ninety-day review. However, despite being exempt, access to these funds has been inexplicably cut off, forcing NED to halt all partner support and furlough the majority of its staff. While the U.S. Department of State has suspended a small portion of NED’s funding as part of the foreign assistance executive order, those funds represent only a fraction of the Endowment’s total budget.
The disruption is hitting hardest in highly repressive environments, where dedicated frontline organizations have been forced to lay off staff, curtail operations, and, in some cases, face increased security threats.”
The organization is demanding that funding be resumed immediately.

I think she did it in concert with the corrupt judge who ordered these funds
to not be stopped
From it:
Most recent Form 990 shows:As with so many "charities" these days, one lives very well indeed by being "charitable."MR DAMON WILSON, PRESIDENT & CEO -- $ 368,965 + $ 48,297

As usual, the Schedule B, Part I as to "Contributors" is marked "restricted."
Note: NED gave $ 150,463,075 to "Grants and other assistance to foreign organizations, foreign governments, and foreign individuals."

Especially when among those "foreign organizations, foreign governments, and foreign individuals."
“The organization is demanding that funding be resumed immediately.”
That’s cute.
Will they stamp their feet on the ground, too?
Can Congress authorize funds to be disbursed directly, bypassing the executive branch? That’s what she’s essentially claiming. I honestly don’t know the answer, although at some point all disbursements have to go through the Treasury Department.
So sad for someone that has not even been in a fight, but yet seems to be okay to make false wars on hundreds of thousands of dead bodies. Not a great record as a civil servant for the country.
Jeez, cut off their funds and they turn into Veruca Salt.
Why isn’t she in PRISON!
Ask any neocon and they will tell you, she is too hawt for prison!
I don’t care.
Needs to be investigated and jailed
Oh yeah. Starve this nasty warmongering beast.
Spreading un-American filth upon citizens responsible for their own governmental systems.
I’m sure she means any place where a Christian was voted into office.
