I used AI to help come up with the clearest explanation of the Uniparty possible.

The Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS) is a coalition of three organizations:

✅ International Republican Institute (IRI) – Aligns with center-right and conservative political groups.
✅ National Democratic Institute (NDI) – Works with center-left and progressive groups.
✅ International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) – Focuses on electoral integrity and administration.

USAID:
💰 CEPPS operates under funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to promote democracy, elections, and political party development worldwide.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), another USAID entity, also supports IRI and NDI, along with other initiatives globally.

In summary: USAID and NED provide funding, CEPPS (via IRI, NDI, and IFES) implements programs, and IRI/NDI engage with political parties abroad, mirroring the U.S. Republican and Democratic Party structures.

Follow @EaglesTTT . He is doing a lot of manual auditing / accounting on this that my data is not going to pick up - for instance, IRI reported no grants on their form 990, but then in their audit they reported financing refugee-related NGOs.

When you see International Republican Institute (IRI) think Republicans. Their board includes:

🇺🇸 US Senator Dan Sullivan – Chairman of the board and Republican Senator from Alaska, known for his work on national security and energy policies.

🇺🇸 US Senator Joni Ernst – Republican Senator from Iowa, former military officer, and advocate for veterans and rural issues.

🇺🇸 US Senator Lindsey Graham – Senior Republican Senator from South Carolina, influential on foreign policy and national security.

🇺🇸 US Senator Tom Cotton – Republican Senator from Arkansas, strong advocate for military and defense policies.

🇺🇸 US Representative Kay Granger – Republican Congresswoman from Texas, key player in defense appropriations and foreign policy.

Similarly, National Democratic Institute (NDI) is Democratic. Here's their more famous members:

🇺🇸 Barbara Mikulski – Former Democratic Senator from Maryland, longest-serving woman in U.S. Congress history, advocate for education and social programs.

🇺🇸 Howard Berman – Former Democratic Congressman from California, influential in foreign affairs and intellectual property policy. (Unpaid, served through 9/2023)

🇺🇸 Sam Gejdenson – Former Democratic Congressman from Connecticut, known for work on international trade and human rights.

🇺🇸 Stacey Abrams – Former Georgia House Minority Leader, voting rights activist, and two-time Democratic candidate for Georgia governor.

🇺🇸 Steven Driehaus – Former Democratic Congressman from Ohio, focused on economic development and government accountability. (Paid $254,551)

🇺🇸 Thomas A. Daschle – Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader from South Dakota, key figure in Democratic legislative strategy. (Unpaid, serves as Chairman)

As for CEPPS, there's only principal officer listed on the IRS 990, and it is none other than Bob Menendez's foreign policy advisor. Yes, that Menendez who is currently serving in prison. The CEPPS website is down, and Ms. Kira Ribar has taken down her LinkedIn.

She was involved in NDI and Freedom House, another USAID NGO.
