Fact-Check Summary The post is correct that George and Amal Clooney have become French citizens, a status publicly confirmed by the French government. It accurately notes that Clooney hosted a Biden fundraiser before urging Biden to leave the race; however, it gives a misleading account of the timeline and context. Claims about Clooney’s film career […]

Fact-Check Summary The social media post wrongly credits the deployment of National Guard troops with delivering major crime reductions in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland. While it is true the Guard is being withdrawn due to court orders, robust crime data show that violent crime was already declining both before and after deployments. There is

Fact-Check Summary The post makes sweeping and inflammatory claims about Democrats, alleging they are “cheaters and thieves” who universally oppose voter identification to facilitate cheating. Extensive evidence shows this is false: polling indicates that approximately 69% of Democrats support voter ID laws; Democratic concerns focus on voter access and disenfranchisement, not enabling fraud; and research

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump did make the statements ascribed to him about redirecting federal healthcare subsidies away from insurance companies and sending money directly to Americans to buy their own health coverage. While his critique—that federal subsidies flow through insurance companies—is factually correct, the suggestion that the money exclusively enriches insurance companies is an oversimplification.

Fact-Check Summary The post exaggerates U.S. investment trends, claiming a world record and attributing growth solely to tariff policies. While the U.S. remains the leading global destination for foreign direct investment, actual realized investments in 2025 are consistent with recent years, not breaking world records or surpassing China by trillions. The cited figures mostly reflect

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that a Minnesota Somali-run day care experienced a break-in and that documents were stolen. However, its framing is misleading: the break-in was not “mysterious” but clearly linked to anti-Somali backlash following a viral video alleging fraud. There is no public evidence linking the daycare or the break-in to fraudulent

Fact-Check Summary The post is misleading. While it is true Minnesota has faced significant daycare fraud investigations and that the state allows a voter to vouch for others for same-day voter registration, there is no evidence that the vouching policy was designed for or routinely facilitates fraud. The policy has been in place for over

Fact-Check Summary The claim that Russia’s allegations of a Ukrainian drone attack on Putin’s residence are “bluster” and that Russia is “standing in the way of peace” is substantially supported by available evidence. Russia did allege a massive Ukrainian drone attack in December 2025 but provided no credible or verifiable evidence. Independent sources, international observers,

Fact-Check Summary The claim that “Trump cleaned up crime in DC and taught everyone a lesson in public safety” is misleading. While crime rates—particularly violent crime and homicides—did fall sharply in Washington, D.C., in 2025, official data and independent analyses show that this decline began months before Trump’s federal intervention in August 2025. Evidence indicates

Fact-Check Summary The social media post concerning Tina Peters is rife with notable factual inaccuracies. Peters has been incarcerated for approximately 14-15 months, not “two years,” and is currently 70 years old, not 73. She is held in a medium-security, not maximum-security, facility. Her conviction was for orchestrating illegal access to voting equipment and related
