A deaf, autistic activist is seeking justice

‘@DataRepublican’ Blows the Lid Off $17 Million ‘Democracy’ Scam

The cash had to go somewhere—and where it landed is flat-out embarrassing.

Popular X user and data scientist Jennica Pounds, better known as DataRepublican, just blew the lid off an NGO claiming to promote “democracy.” She revealed in a NewsNation exclusive how this particular NGO received $17 million—and “the only thing they did with $17 million was make a terrible muppet show.”

“That’s (explicit word)!” she exclaimed.

The NGO, co-founded by Norm Eisen, calls itself the “States United Democracy Center,” and all they could manage to pull off with that $17 million was about 200 views per episode of their knockoff muppet show.

DataRepublican explains: “They got money, and they did something with that. It was just awful. Jim Henson would roll in his grave. And it was weird because all the videos have less than 200 views. They didn’t even try to promote them with ads or anything. So where did the $17 million go?”

Shortly after this interview aired, DataRepublican revealed she was doxxed in a viral post on X. Now you know why—she’s exposing the entire corrupt NGO system.

Watch the full interview here.

Oh and BY THE WAY, Jennica perfectly represents what we on the New Right embrace: inclusion — the real kind, not the fake construct ginned-up by the radical critical theory pimps.

She’s a SHE. She’s deaf. She has autism. (I added bolded for emphasis.)

@DataRepublican

I have been doxxed. Rather than let others control the narrative, I am addressing this directly. My name is Jennica Pounds.

I recently resigned from my job to pursue DOGE-adjacent efforts full-time. While my background check is still in progress, my ultimate goal is to work with the Administration to cut waste and improve efficiency.

What began as a side hobby became a mission when I uncovered the role of NGOs in these issues. This is not about left or right. This is about us—the people.

I gave up everything for this—my safety, my career—because I believe in what I am doing. I am 100% Deaf and nonverbal. My lack of signing fluency does not make me any less Deaf.

It is a result of a language impairment related to my autism called expressive dysphasia, which affects my ability to construct language fluently in real-time.

This impacts my signing, speaking, and even writing, though writing allows me more time to correct mistakes. My interpreter and I spend hours refining my talking points to ensure she conveys what I mean, not just what I say. I am Deaf.

And being Deaf is not, and should never be, defined by one’s signing ability, particularly when there are medical conditions involved.

I do not believe the Deaf community should be politically aligned with any party. A priority of mine has always been on holding the Administration accountable to Deaf Americans, including advocating for policy changes such as allowing a second interpreter camera stream on television broadcasts. I will continue using my platform to push for these necessary changes.
