It's hard to think of an action more damaging to American greatness, or insulting to American freedom, than cutting off cancer research to punish a university for failing to align politically with the current government.

I had a little scare recently and it reminded me of the importance of prioritizing cancer screenings. So please, go get screened! XO, your friend Katie đź’—

We’re in the DOGE Subcommittee hearing, but where’s Elon? Is the “oversight” in the room with us?

Republicans wanted to talk about NGOs and Stacey Abrams. But, Trump’s out here slapping a for sale sign on the White House lawn—and y’all wanna play games?

Let’s cut the noise and get back to the facts. The people deserve the truth.

Holy moley, what is going on in the comments here. Do people here legitimately believe what Elon has been doing is a) fair, b) necessary, or c) anything more than a cynical political ploy? The idea that this story hasn't been covered in the press until now is ridiculous and if you think that you should maybe rethink where you get your news from.

This article in the FP that Jesse calls out specifically (thefp.com/p/muslim-groo…) is fucking embarrassing and I see people here pulling talking points…

I didn't find it ridiculous at all.

Can you help me understand your perspective by pointing to specific statements in TFP piece that you consider to be false, misleading, or a gross exaggeration?

The entire article? Here, I'll pull some parts out of the dumpster for you:

Subhead "The serial rape of thousands of English girls went on for many years. Few in power cared. Then Elon Musk started tweeting." is literally false. Again, this was a news story 10 years ago, maybe one of the most covered news stories in Britain. What Jesse said in the pod is right, this is an absurd statement.

The story has a 10 year time jump from describing when the scandal broke to 2024, in an effort to link it to…

Thank you. I don't agree with how you are interpreting a lot of that but that's all a very legitimate perspective.
