“RT @realDonaldTrumpA Blue Slip means that if youre a Republican President, and there happens to be just one Democrat Senator in a state where you are appointing a U.S. Attorney or District Court Judge, you will never be successful in getting a Republican confirmed. In other words, Blue Slips are a disaster, and I have eight GREAT Republican U.S. Attorney Candidates who will not be able to fulfill their service to the people of a state that voted overwhelmingly for me. The only one I can appoint is a Democrat, and thats not the deal. Nobody can say that is fair or, even, Constitutional. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s post about the Senate blue slip process is rife with inaccuracies. The blue slip is a Senate tradition—not a constitutional requirement or permanent blockade—allowing home-state senators input on federal judicial or prosecutorial nominees. Contrary to Trump’s claims, the blue slip process does not make it impossible for a Republican president to […]

“RT @realDonaldTrumpThe meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine was very interesting, and cordial, but I told him, as I likewise strongly suggested to President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing, and make a DEAL! Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts. They should stop where they are. Let both claim Victory, let History decide! No more shooting, no more Death, no more vast and unsustainable sums of money spent. This is a War that would have never started if I were President. Thousands of people being slaughtered each and every week — NO MORE, GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILIES IN PEACE!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The October 17, 2025 meeting between Donald Trump and President Zelenskyy is accurately referenced. Trump’s claim that the meeting was “cordial” is partially true: on-camera, the interaction was friendly, but multiple credible reports documented significant underlying tensions. Trump’s public call for both sides to “make a deal” and “stop where they are” aligns

“Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO from the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love, and won big SIX TIMES, must be thrown out of office, ASAP! The incredible people of Kentuckys 4th Congressional District gave us a mandate to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and the person that will help us do that is Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Fifth Generation Kentucky Farmer, Captain Ed Gallrein, a true America First Patriot. A Brave Combat Veteran, Ed knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. Additionally, as a very successful Businessman, Ed knows how to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Support our Amazing Farmers and American Agriculture, Unleash American Energy Dominance, and Champion our Nations Golden Age. In Congress, he will fight tirelessly to Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. I hope Ed gets into the Race against Massie, who is now polling at about 9% because the Great People of Kentucky are wise to him — He only votes against the Republican Party, making life very easy for the Radical Left. Unlike lightweight Massie, a totally ineffective LOSER who has failed us so badly, CAPTAIN ED GALLREIN IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. Should he decide to challenge Massie, Captain Ed Gallrein has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, ED, RUN — MAGA!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about Congressman Thomas Massie and Ed Gallrein includes several fact-based statements, notable exaggerations, and some inaccuracies. The post accurately conveys Ed Gallrein’s well-documented background as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger-qualified officer, and fifth-generation Kentucky farmer. However, the claim that Thomas Massie is “polling at about 9%” is not

“Whatever happened to Senator Rand Paul? He was never great, but he went really BAD! I got him elected, TWICE (in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky!), but he just never votes positively for the Republican Party. Hes a nasty liddle guy, much like Congressman Thomas Massie, aka Rand Paul Jr., also of Kentucky (which I won three times, in massive landslides!), a sick Wacko, who refuses to vote for our great Republican Party, MAGA, or America First. Its really weird!!!” @realDonaldTrump

TruthSocial.com /

Fact-Check Summary The post makes several claims regarding Senator Rand Paul’s electoral history, his alignment with the Republican Party, and Donald Trump’s own electoral victories in Kentucky. The assertion that Trump “got [Rand Paul] elected twice” is inaccurate regarding Paul’s initial 2010 election, as it occurred before Trump’s rise to political prominence. Trump did encourage

“George Santos was somewhat of a rogue, but there are many rogues throughout our Country that arent forced to serve seven years in prison. I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard Da Nang Dick Blumenthal came up again. As everyone remembers, Da Nang stated for almost twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having endured the worst of the War, watching the Wounded and Dead as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming from his face. He was a Great Hero, he would leak to any and all who would listen — And then it happened! He was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD. He never went to Vietnam, he never saw Vietnam, he never experienced the Battles there, or anywhere else. His War Hero status, and even minimal service in our Military, was totally and completely MADE UP. This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!” @realDonaldTrump

TruthSocial.com /

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that George Santos was sentenced to over seven years in federal prison and that President Trump commuted his sentence on October 17, 2025, leading to Santos’s immediate release. It is also true that Santos was held in solitary confinement for a period while incarcerated, with reports of hardship—but allegations

Fact-Check Summary The post makes several misleading or inaccurate claims about the Senate blue slip process for federal judicial and U.S. Attorney appointments. The blue slip is a procedural courtesy, not a constitutional requirement or absolute veto. How it’s applied depends on the Senate Judiciary Committee chair’s policy, and both parties have used blue slips

“I have eight GREAT U.S. Attorneys, Highly Respected ALL, who will not be confirmed for their positions in various Highly Consequential States only because theyre Republicans, and the Democrats have convinced Chuck Grassley to honor the stupid and outdated Blue Slip tradition, which precludes very talented and dedicated people from attaining High Office. The Democrats violate this practice in order to get people in, but Republicans just dont. These GREAT peoples careers have been badly hurt by the Radical Left Democrats, using an old and ridiculous custom strictly to their advantage. What a shame!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post misrepresents the history and application of the Senate blue slip tradition. While blue slips have recently contributed to the hold-up of some U.S. Attorney nominees, the practice is a longstanding, bipartisan Senate courtesy used frequently by both parties. Senator Grassley has consistently defended the principle on his own accord, not due

“I am outraged that the International Maritime Organization is voting in London this week to pass a global Carbon Tax. The United States will NOT stand for this Global Green New Scam Tax on Shipping, and will not adhere to it in any way, shape, or form.

Fact-Check Summary The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is holding a significant vote in London on new shipping emissions regulations from October 14-17, 2025, as accurately stated in the post. However, what is being debated is not technically a “global Carbon Tax”; the IMO itself documents that its system is a greenhouse gas pricing mechanism based
