House Appropriators Block State Department Money to Organization Calling Americans β€˜Opponents of Ukraine’

The House Appropriations Committee moved to block State Department funding for an international nonprofit that accuses Americans and U.S. organizations of being β€œopponents of Ukraine.” 

The move comes one day after Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., sent a letter to top House appropriators asking to end U.S. support for the Ukrainian reporting nonprofit called the DATA Journalism Agency, also known as TEXTY.Β 

The TEXTY list includes 77 organizations and 388 individuals, including former President Donald Trump and 115 Republican House members, it labels enemies of Ukraine. This includes The Heritage Foundation and its president, Kevin Roberts.

β€œI was just designated an β€˜opponent of Ukraine,’ after being sanctioned by the Russian regime,” Banks said in a public statement.Β 

The Russian government sanctioned Banks in April 2022.Β 

Two State Department agencies partnered with the DATA Journalism Agency: the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID.

During a full committee markup on Wednesday of the fiscal year 2025 State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs funding bill, House Republicans on the committee passed a provision to prohibit funding for TEXTY.Β 

β€œI’m not bothered by what foreign nations think of me. But it’s shameful for our agencies to be using Hoosiers’ tax dollars to collaborate with foreign groups that attempt to intimidate U.S. citizens and lawmakers,” Banks continued. β€œI’d like to thank the Republicans on the Appropriations Committee for defunding any such work with the DATA Journalism Agency.”

The Banks letter on Tuesday went to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., and Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Chairman Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla.

Like any budget bill, the funding measure has to be approved by the House and a Democrat-controlled Senate before going to President Joe Biden’s desk.Β

2 Groups Accuse Americans of Being Enemies of Ukraine. A House Republican Wants State to Stop Working With Them.

Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., is urging Congress to prevent the State Department from working with foreign organizations that β€œencourage the harassment of Americans” after a Ukraine-based outlet listed U.S. organizations and individuals it accused of impeding assistance to Ukraine.Β 

The Heritage Foundation, which founded The Daily Signal in 2014, appears among the organizations on the list, and so does its president, Kevin D. Roberts.Β 

The Ukraine-based media outlet the DATA Journalism Agency, also known as TEXTY, published a report titled β€œRoller Coaster: From Trumpists to Communists.” The report lists forces in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it. The list includes 77 organizations and 388 individuals, including former President Donald Trump and 116 Republican House members.

Two State Department agencies partnered with the DATA Journalism Agency, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID.Β 

β€œAccording to the report, the individuals on the list β€˜oppose supporting Ukraine,’ and many β€˜echo key messages of Russian propaganda aimed at depriving Ukrainians of the ability to defend themselves,’” Banks said in a letter Tuesday. He sent the letter to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., and Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Chair Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla.

Banks added that another Ukrainian organization partnering with the State Department, known as Myrotvorets, also maintained a database of alleged enemies of Ukraine.Β 

β€œFederal bureaucrats should not support or partner with foreign groups that attempt to intimidate and silence U.S. citizens and lawmakers,” Banks wrote. β€œI am urging the Appropriations Committee majority to support efforts in the Fiscal Year 2025 SFOPS bill to force the State Department and USAID to end all relations with foreign NGOs like TEXTY that seek to silence the speech of Americans they dislike and to sway U.S. policymakers to serve their own interests.” 

Banks also wrote to Roberts Tuesday as well as other individuals and entities that were on the list.Β 

β€œThe Appropriations Committee’s markup of its bill to fund the State Department and USAID during Fiscal Year 2025 is scheduled to take place tomorrow,” Banks added.
