Well - I may be biased, but I've been seeing a lot of claims from Republicans lately which do not closely match reality.

Until there's actual evidence, I would be inclined to dismiss them.

You can read the requirements, then read the denial letter, the appeal (and denial) and dissents.

That doesn't much help. Their main claim is that it is not normal (and hence political) for a subsidy to be canceled based for failure to make progress.

I've seen no evidence supporting that claim, and lots of evidence to counter it.

IMO not political. I remember Ajit Pai didn't want starlink
