In an unusual public display of political muscle, UF clapped back at @SenRickScott on social media and pitched its lone presidential finalist to @EDSecMcMahon as firmly aligned with Trump’s higher-ed agenda.

DeSantis staffers boosted UF’s posts.

Thanks for getting our view from @politifact on the “staged” story, @tomforemancnn @jaketapper

"Delgado and other 'local journalists' identified as staff of the South Florida Standard are creations of artificial intelligence – complete with fake headshots and made-up biographies peppered with South Florida cliches"

@goni_lessan @romyellenbogen @joeflech @kathrynvarn heck yes, and the summer is a great time to get your feet wet.

The US and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. President Donald Trump said Iran could soon have missiles capable of reaching the US, but a 2025 federal government assessment said that’s years away.

Fact-check: Kristi Noem said Alex Pretti was "brandishing" a handgun and "attacked" officers in Minneapolis. Social media videos verified by multiple news organizations show Pretti, who had a concealed carry permit, holding a cell phone as he directed traffic and tried to help a woman pushed to the ground by an officer.

Marco Rubio says he covers his head with a blanket when taking naps on Air Force One so Trump won't think his secretary of state is weak for needing sleep on overseas flights.

An outstanding @bterris read, on Trump's health: https://t.co/kPYFwEOCwF

President Donald Trump says his tariffs are benefiting Americans. But the U.S. and China ended up in a trade war. And Americans, including farmers, paid the price.

For the first time since 2009, PolitiFact is recalibrating the Lie of the Year — our award for the most egregious falsehood we've seen in a year's worth of fact-checking.

This year, we want to focus less on the offenders who perpetuate the falsehoods, and more on those who are hurt by them.

So “congratulations” 2025. PolitiFact names you Year of the Lies. 🧵

Fact check: There's NO NEW LAW banning North Carolinians from holding their phones while driving.

Why is that being reported?

-An inaccurate Facebook post
-Led to inaccurate media reports
-Which Google's AI tool used ...
-To generate a false summary of the 'Hands Free' bill.

Legal experts told @PolitiFact's @loujacobson that Trump’s sedition accusation doesn’t hold up. They saw no path for charging the Democratic lawmakers under sedition law. (link below)
