Fact-Check Summary Claims that the entire Russia investigation or the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment were a “hoax” or fabricated are not supported by the preponderance of evidence from multiple independent investigations, including those conducted by Special Counsel Mueller, Congress, and oversight entities. Substantial evidence clearly establishes that Russia engaged in influence and interference operations during […]

Fact-Check Summary The claim that “Blue Slips need to go bad for the Republican Party and our Country” is misleading and inaccurate. The blue slip tradition is strongly supported by the majority of Republican senators, not opposed. Historically, blue slips have provided Republicans with significant power to block Democratic judicial nominees, especially when they are

Fact-Check Summary The claim that Russia’s 2016 election interference is a “hoax” is flatly contradicted by a body of rigorous, bipartisan investigations—including the Mueller Report, Senate Intelligence Committee findings, and judicial reviews—establishing that Russian government actors did, in fact, mount systematic and sweeping operations to influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. While

Fact-Check Summary The claim that DC is “virtually in just 14 days a CRIME FREE ZONE” with residents “ecstatic” over President Trump’s intervention is a substantial exaggeration. While crime, especially carjacking and homicide, has significantly decreased—continuing a downward trend already underway prior to the federal involvement—DC is not crime-free.

The message itself lacks specifics, contains no factual claims, and does not align with the typical structure or substance of

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about limestone damage in the White House Rose Garden contains several claims. The core assertion—that the Rose Garden was renovated with high-quality limestone, and a contractor accidentally damaged it—aligns with documented factual accounts from multiple sources. Trump’s statements about witnessing the damage, reacting strongly, and vowing to hold

Fact-Check Summary The post claims that the appellate court wrongly restrained presidential tariff powers, asserting broad executive authority under statute and Article II. However, constitutional and legal analysis shows that tariff power is primarily a Congressional prerogative. Recent federal court decisions (7-4 appellate court majority) emphasized that the Constitution and statutes do not permit unilateral

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that the federal appellate court ruled against most of the president’s tariffs. It is correct that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) gives the president substantial emergency powers, and Article II does grant broad foreign policy authority. However, the post misrepresents the limits of these powers: the court

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s statement that “ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT” is correct in the current legal context: a federal appellate court ruled much of his tariff program exceeded statutory authority but stayed its decision, so tariffs remain while appeals are pending. His characterization of the appeals court as “Highly Partisan” is opinion, not
