Speaker: donald trump
About the speaker: Donald Trump is the former president of the United States. He was elected the 45th president of the United States on Nov. 8, 2016.  He has been a real estate developer, entrepreneur and host of the NBC reality show, "The Apprentice." Trump's statements were awarded PolitiFact's 2015, 2017 and 2019 Lie of the Year. In November 2022, he announced he would run for president in 2024.

Topics: foreign policy;nuclear
Context: Washington
Fact-check justification: Trump said, "When those restrictions expire, Iran will have an industrial-size military nuclear capability ready to go." Key restrictions in the deal never expire, including the pledge to not conduct activities that would contribute to the design and development of a nuclear explosive. And even if Iran were to go all-out for a nuclear program once the 15-year limit on uranium enrichment goes away, it would take months, if not years, for the country to develop a bomb and delivery system so its military could go to war with nuclear weaponry.

Context: an Instagram post
Fact-check justification: By searching for the headlines that appeared scrolling at the bottom of the clip, we found the footage of the person in the video in a Newsmax broadcast of an Oct. 1, 2022, speech by former President Donald Trump.   Although a photo of Babbitt wearing a similar hat circulated after her death, this isn’t her.  Video published by news organizations documented the shooting. Her widowed husband has talked to reporters about her death. Officials with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia’s Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section and the Civil Rights Division and with the Metropolitan Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division reviewed video footage, police and witness statements, physical  from the scene of the shooting, and the results of Babbitt's autopsy as part of a Justice Department investigation into her death.   We rate claims that this video shows Babbit alive and well .

Fact-check justification: Finally, we didn't find record of Sessions airing fundraising regrets. Neither Sessions nor his aides agreed to our requests for on-the-record interviews. The naked ? All indications are that Sessions held one fundraiser in an adult-themed venue and another in a restaurant that's separated from its nightclub featuring nearly nude dancers.

Speaker: the partnership for safe medicines

Location: florida
Topics: drugs;health care
Context: a TV ad
Fact-check justification: An ad by Partnership for Safe Medicines said, "State senators are pushing a new government program that allows prescription drugs from China without FDA inspection." Senators are actually pushing for an importation program from Canada, not China. In its ad, the organization points to  of unscrupulous entities that purported to provide prescriptions from Canada but were actually obtaining drugs from elsewhere or counterfeit operations. Those cases are real, but it doesn’t mean that a proposed Florida program will allow prescription drugs from China without federal oversight. The Florida program would require the federal government’s approval, including state and federal safeguards, including those that involve the FDA. We rate this  .

Fact-check justification: Heidi Heilman said, "Today’s marijuana is 300 percent to 800 percent more potent than the pot of yesteryear." Long-term testing shows that, on average, today's marijuana is three times more potent than pre-1993 marijuana and eight times more potent than grass seized in 1976 and earlier. We rate her  as  .

Statement: Says that under his tax plan, "no matter where you are in the stratosphere, you're going to be getting a tax cut.
Speaker: rick perry
About the speaker: Rick Perry is the U.S. Energy Secretary and was governor of Texas from late December 2000 through 2014. He was re-elected in 2002, 2006 and 2010. He unsucessfully ran for president in 2012 and 2016.
Date: October 25, 2011
Location: texas
Topics: taxes
Context: an interview
Fact-check justification: An Oct. 31, 2011, Wall Street Journal news article , states the presumption that the tax reductions put in place will expire means that under Perry’s approach, "a lot of people would actually face a tax increase compared to current tax levels." Frazier, Perry’s spokeswoman, replied to our inquiry about the center’s analysis indicating lower-income Americans would not get a tax cut by echoing Perry’s announcement of his plan: "Americans in every income group will receive a tax cut." , some households at each quintile of earnings -- from the poorest to richest -- would get tax cuts under Perry’s plan, which promises tax cuts to the vast majority of households annually earning $39,863 or more. But it’s not the case that no matter where you are, you're going to be getting a tax cut. We rate Perry's statement .

Context: a press release jointly issued with U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz
Fact-check justification: Perry said only three in 10 Texas doctors currently accept new Medicaid patients.   In a recent year, some 67 percent of Texas physicians submitted at least one Medicaid . More recently, 42 percent of the state’s physicians responding to a 2012 survey said they refuse all new Medicaid patients. Then again, 32 percent said they accept all new Medicaid patients and 26 percent said they limit such patients--signaling that 58 percent of physicians accept at least some new Medicaid patients. By not specifying that the cited "three in 10" reflects only doctors who accept all new Medicaid patients, Perry’s statement falls off target by nearly 30 percent. Still, it has en element of .

Statement: The health bill's plan for comparative effectiveness research "would be used by the government to ration care.
Speaker: john boehner
About the speaker: John Boehner of Ohio is the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. He was formerly the Republican minority leader from 2007-2011, and was the majority leader briefly prior to that.
Date: August 18, 2009
Location: national
Topics: health care
Context: a press release
Fact-check justification: "We need to spend smarter and treat more effectively," We think it's reasonable to conclude that some insurers may decide to use the government's research findings to determine what kinds of medical services it will cover, or at least which ones it will cover first. But we think it's a stretch to call giving patients better information about which treatments and drugs are most effective "rationing." In fact, given specific language in the bill to the contrary, we think it's outright  for Boehner to  the research findings would be used by the government to ration care. Our friends at FactCheck.org came to the same conclusion in an item that walks through the evolution of comparative effectiveness research. So we find Boehner 's  that comparative effectiveness research findings "would be used by the government to ration care" to be .
Statement: Women of childbearing age spend 68 percent more in out-of-pocket health care costs than men.

Topics: health care;women
Context: "Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby"
Fact-check justification: Ginsburg wrote that "women of childbearing age spend 68 percent more in out-of-pocket health care costs than men." Some estimates cited by a litany of politicians and advocates are based on 20-year-old data. But more recent data shows that women do still pay more out of pocket for health care than men do, with one estimate very close -- 69 percent -- and other estimates in the 40 percent to 50 percent range. On balance, we rate the  .
Statement: Marco Rubio "supported $800,000 for AstroTurf for a field where he played flag football.

He served as a U.S. congressman from St. Petersburg since 2017 and resigned Aug. 31, 2022 to focus on his campaign.  As a Republican, Crist served as governor from 2007 to 2011. Crist left the Republican Party in 2010 to mount a campaign for the U.S. Senate as an independent. Crist lost the race to Marco Rubio.

Context: a statement on a campaign Web site
Fact-check justification: But it was one of hundreds of items in a giant $71.9 billion budget bill and the bill didn't specify it was for artificial turf. It wasn't until later news accounts that the turf came to light. It's conceivable that Rubio knew it was for turf -- indeed, using Geller's account of the Speaker's power, you might think he did.

Context: a tweet
Fact-check justification: Since Trump entered the White House, women’s unemployment has fallen by one point, or almost one-fifth. Our Ruling The West Virginia Republican Party said, "Women’s unemployment has been lower under President Trump than it’s been in nearly 70 years." The actual number is 66 years, which qualifies as "nearly 70." However, it’s important to note that presidents don’t deserve full credit or blame for such statistical changes on their watch.   The statement is accurate but needs additional context, so we rate it .
Statement: More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States.
Speaker: barack obama
About the speaker: Barack Obama is the former president of the United States. Obama also served as a U.S. senator from Illinois. He was born in 1961 in Hawaii, where his parents met as students at the University of Hawaii. Obama's father is from Kenya and his mother is from Kansas. He graduated from Columbia University and received his law degree from Harvard Law School. Obama previously served in the Illinois state Senate and was an instructor at the University of Chicago Law School. He and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Topics: guns
Context: a news conference
Fact-check justification: But we think Obama also mischaracterizes the statistic some when he says 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States. Not every gun recovered in Mexico is submitted to the ATF for tracing. And so Obama and others can't know exactly what percentage come from the United States. They can only speak to the guns successfully traced by the ATF. And so we rule Obama's statement .

Context: a rally
Fact-check justification: Trump said "in Nevada, they want to have a thing where you don’t have to have any verification of the signature." Trump’s campaign said he was referring to a lawsuit challenging ballot processing procedures in Clark County. The Trump campaign’s Oct. 23 lawsuit challenges the county’s use of a machine to help flag signature issues on ballots. The case is pending, so it will be up to a judge to decide if any of the arguments have merit. Republicans argue that the fact that only 1.45% of ballots in Clark County needed signature cures translates to a watered down signature requirement. But criticizing the use of the county’s procedures isn’t  that the county wants no verification of signatures.  We rate this  .

About the speaker: Posters on Facebook and other social media networks.

Topics: gas prices;facebook fact-checks
Context: Facebook posts
Fact-check justification: The text blames the Biden administration for high gas prices, stating that they’re due to America choosing to import oil from other countries. The text is phony — BP oil confirmed that no one named Brice Cromwell works for the company. In addition, the Facebook post has appeared as early as March without naming Cromwell.  Fluctuations in oil and gas prices are not caused by the president, no matter who is in office. Experts and data show that the rise and fall of gas prices is due to the global supply and demand, inflation and worldwide events.   We rate this  !

Context: an interview on Capital Public Radio
Fact-check justification: During a recent radio interview, Travis Allen twice repeated the unfounded  Californians are "overwhelmingly against" the new sanctuary state law. He’s made this assertion numerous times in recent months despite four polls that show a majority, or in some cases a near-majority, of Californians support the sanctuary policies. A past  on the topic earned Allen a  rating. On these latest statements, we again rated Allen’s  . UPDATE: After publication, the Public Policy Institute of California released a new  survey , on Feb. 8, 2018, showing 65 percent of California adults, including 58 percent of likely voters, favored local governments making their own policies and taking action separate from the federal government to protect the legal rights of undocumented immigrants in the state. It found 83 percent of Democrats, 53 percent of Independents and 21 percent of Republicans were in favor.    –  The statement is not accurate.

Fact-check justification: I witnessed it -- a lot of forward-thrusting of the pelvic bone." Clearly Wilson introduced the dirty dancing ban approved by the school board in 1997 and we don't doubt that school activities now have less forward-thrusting of the pelvic bone. But her  that the ban would apply "in our community" is a little . Some people might think her ban applied to the entire county, not just the schools. So we rate this  .

Fact-check justification: Krugman said that cases of cholera had been reported in Puerto Rico. By his own account, that was . He assumed someone he trusted had verified the facts and the person hadn't.  Health care professionals raised the concern that massive damage to the water supply system increased the risk of cholera, but that falls well short of an actual outbreak. While references to a cholera outbreak littered the twittersphere, those accounts were being rejected two days before Krugman’s tweet. We rate this  .

Other estimates of wrongful targets are much higher, and experts about the 2000 election tend to go with those. Trouble is, we don’t have exact figures.
