Fact-Check Summary The post claims: “our Southern Border is now 100 Secure” and “Washington DC is SAFE AGAIN and we have just begun the process of revival.” Data confirms historically low unauthorized border crossings and significant reductions in violent crime in Washington D.C., but both claims are exaggerated, especially in presenting security and safety as

Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post contains partially accurate but largely misleading claims about MSNBC’s ratings, name change, and parent company leadership.

Fact-Check Summary Lee Zeldin is the current EPA Administrator, and the Trump EPA has indeed cancelled approximately $29-30 billion in environmental grants and programs, matching the scale in the post. Cancelled programs include the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, Solar for All, and environmental justice grant programs, all underpinned by legislative action and agency administrative decisions.

Fact-Check Summary The content closely parallels Lee Zeldin’s officially announced EPA policy framework, including priorities on clean air, energy dominance, permitting reform, and American auto jobs. However, while Zeldin has made similar public statements and press releases, there is no direct evidence confirming he posted this specific wording on TruthSocial. The attribution remains unverified even

Fact-Check Summary The claim that every state adopting wind and solar power has experienced record-breaking increases in electricity and energy costs is not supported by available evidence. In fact, states with high renewable energy penetration—such as North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas—often have among the lowest electricity rates in the country. Research shows no positive

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s Truth Social post calling for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to “resign now” is genuine and links to media coverage about mortgage fraud allegations. The claims originate from FHFA Director Bill Pulte, who alleges Cook made misrepresentations in mortgage applications for two properties. However, no formal charges have been filed, and
