This week, Jennica Pounds—known on X as DataRepublican, whose work exposed the abuses of USAID funding—was doxxed by internet bullies, a vicious attack aimed at silencing her efforts to expose government waste and inefficiency. Rather than cower, Jennica took control of the narrative, revealing her identity and mission in a powerful statement on X: “I have been doxxed. Rather than let others control the narrative, I am addressing this directly.” Her story is one of resilience, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to the truth—a story that deserves our attention and support.

Pounds recently left her job to pursue full-time work aligned with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative championed by Elon Musk to streamline government operations. “While my background check is still in progress, my ultimate goal is to work with the Administration to cut waste and improve efficiency,” she wrote. What started as a side hobby—digging into data to uncover inefficiencies—transformed into a mission when she discovered the pivotal role nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) play in perpetuating waste and dependency. For her, this isn’t about partisan politics. “This is not about left or right. This is about us—the people,” she emphasized.
Her journey has come at a steep personal cost. “I gave up everything for this—my safety, my career—because I believe in what I am doing,” she shared. Jennica is 100% deaf and nonverbal, living with expressive dysphasia, a language impairment tied to her autism that hinders her ability to construct language fluently in real time. This condition affects her signing, speaking, and even writing, though she notes writing gives her time to refine her thoughts. She relies on an interpreter, with whom she spends hours preparing to ensure her message is clear. “My lack of signing fluency does not make me any less Deaf,” she asserted, challenging narrow definitions of what it means to be part of the Deaf community.
Jennica’s advocacy extends beyond government efficiency to the needs of Deaf Americans. She has long pushed for policies like a second interpreter camera stream on television broadcasts, a practical step toward greater accessibility. “I do not believe the Deaf community should be politically aligned with any party,” she wrote, emphasizing her focus on holding the government accountable to all its citizens.
Her work has uncovered uncomfortable truths, like the one she posted on X:
“The global push for open borders serves a dual purpose: securing a permanent subject class that ensures the continued dominance of NGOs and entrenching the Democratic Party as a one-party system.”
She doesn’t spare Republicans either, pointing out how establishment figures support these systems for personal gain. “They don’t need to stay in office to benefit,” she explained. “As long as they vote the right way and say the right things, they secure lucrative post-political careers with these NGOs.”
She argues mass migration creates a “dependent class” that sustains NGOs, diverting attention from domestic priorities like education and healthcare.
This fearless truth-telling has made her a target. The doxxing—a malicious act of exposing her personal information—underscores the lengths to which her detractors will go to silence her. It’s a troubling precedent for anyone, especially those with disabilities, trying to hold power to account. Jennica’s vulnerabilities should not diminish her credibility; they amplify her courage. Yet, as she and others like her step forward, they face belittlement from those desperate to cling to power—whether liberal critics angered by her views or establishment figures threatened by her revelations.
Jennica Pounds deserves our respect and protection. She’s not a wounded animal to be preyed upon by doxxers or partisan hacks; she’s a warrior for transparency and efficiency in a government that too often serves itself rather than the people. Her call is clear: this fight is for all of us. Supporting her means standing up for a government truly “for the people”—one that values voices like hers, no matter the obstacles she faces. In a world of noise and cowardice, Jennica’s resolve is a beacon. We must rally behind her, not just for her sake, but for ours.
