House Republicans, led by Congressman Jim Banks, have successfully moved to defund a Ukrainian NGO known as Texty or the Data Journalism Agency. This organization had created a 'watch list' labeling conservative American lawmakers and private citizens as 'enemies of Ukraine.' The NGO had reportedly received funding from the Biden State Department. The decision to defund the NGO followed a letter from Rep.
