"Unfunded" means never having funds allocated or lacking necessary money, while "defunded" means funds that were previously available have been actively removed or canceled, with "unfunded" often implying a lack from the start (like an unfunded mandate or liability), and "defunded" suggesting a reduction or termination of existing money (like a program losing its budget)
I get your point but my assumption was that this is an annual budget that must be newly approved each year. I don't see govt (even doge) working quickly enough to make a case to defund NED mid-year, rather, they would not approve any monies for the following year. Your point will be remembered, however. (spellcheck doesn't recognize 'defund' btw)
Eek. Pet peeve. DEfunded.
