The International Republican Institute's website is down, supposedly to "mitigate expenses." But maintaining a mostly static site isn’t expensive. Does replacing a few biographies with an outage banner actually save money? Or is there another reason they pulled the plug?

@IRIglobal any comments?

They seem awfully defensive here. Rich, particularly since they financed mass migration NGOs: NDI, the National Democratic Institute and the IRI counterpart, is apparently better with managing their IT expenses. They're still up: ndi.org They also took down their X account. The Wayback Machine isn't working for me, so I can't figure the date when they took it down.
