Statement: The State Department asked all secretaries of state to send their emails over." Hillary Clinton's "the only one who's done it.
Speaker: charles schumer
About the speaker: Charles Schumer is a Democratic senator from New York and the Senate majority leader.
Date: March 8, 2015
Location: national
Topics: elections;foreign policy;transparency
Context: comments on CBS' "Face the Nation"
Fact-check justification: Schumer said, "The State Department asked all secretaries of state to send their emails over, and (Clinton is) the only one who’s done it." That statement is much more grandiose than the reality of the situation. The State Department asked four former secretaries of state for any official business conducted on personal emails. Two of those individuals, Albright and Rice, rarely used email at all while in office, let alone on a personal account. The other, Powell, has said his personal emails no longer exist, but said he is working with the State Department to recover them, if possible. The statement contains some element of  but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression. We rate it . Correction: Clinton turned over 55,000 pages and documents from her private email account. A previous version of this fact-check described the number incorrectly.
Statement: Says "Detroit dumping a bunch of sewage" in Lake Erie "causes big problems" for Ohio.
Speaker: john kasich
About the speaker: John Kasich is the governor of Ohio. A Republican and a former congressman, he defeated Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland in 2010 and was reelected in 2014. He ran for president in 2016.

Context: a news conference
Fact-check justification: He called the impact of Detroit’s waste floating into the lake "very minor." Other Lake Erie water experts, though, seemed a bit more concerned about the impact of the Detroit waste in the overall mix. But by praising farmers for limiting pollution being dumped into waterways and then blaming Michigan in the next breath for wastewater from Detroit funneling into the Lake, Kasich’s  downplayed the impact of agricultural runoff in the lake. That impact is an important detail needed to put the governor’s  in context. On the -O-Meter, the governor’s  rates .

Topics: abortion;corrections and updates;debates;women
Context: the Florida U.S. Senate debate
Fact-check justification: Nelson said that Mack voted to redefine rape as forcible rape. The bill in question was intended to limit federal funding for abortion. As part of that, the bill did originally aim to limit that funding from "rape" to cases of "forcible rape." Redefining rape, though, was not its primary purpose. And, this part of the bill was so controversial it was struck from the bill before it came to a vote. So Nelson was  to say Mack voted on the language. Still, Mack was an early co-sponsor when the bill did include language on forcible rape. We asked the Mack campaign multiple times if Mack supported or opposed the removal of that language. We did not receive a response. So we don’t know if Mack supported or opposed removal of the language that was in the bill when he co-sponsored it. We rate the statement . Editor's note: After we published this report, the Mack campaign provided us with this response: "Congressman Mack strongly supported the removal of the term 'forcible' rape from the bill before it came up for consideration. Congressman Mack was one of 227 house co-sponsors on the bill which had the primary intent of providing greater protections against the use of federal taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions."

Fact-check justification: Chelsea Clinton herself has decried how the Clinton Foundation has been a target of  news outlets and conspiracy theorists. "The lies were absolutely frustrating because the facts didn’t seem sufficient to put them to rest," she told Variety  magazine in April . "I think that was so odd about the whole experience — either the  was insufficient or people just didn’t care."

Statement: For the month of February, Illinois has been the vaccination leader among the 10 most populous states in the country.

Context: a speech
Fact-check justification: Pritzker said that "for the month of February, Illinois has been the vaccination leader among the 10 most populous states in the country." There are many different ways to measure how states compare when it comes to vaccinating residents against COVID-19. On some, Illinois ranks high and on others it ranks low. Pritzker’s office pointed to one very specific metric: total doses administered per capita during the month of February alone. The key issue with Pritzker’s  is that Illinois only took the lead on that metric for a handful of days prior to the governor’s prerecorded address — and had already fallen back to second place by the time it aired.

Statement: Over $1 trillion" was spent on anti-poverty programs in 2011, enough to "give every single poor American a check for $22,000.
Speaker: paul ryan
About the speaker: U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R.-Wis., became Speaker of the House in 2015 and served until his retirement in January 2019. Ryan was elected to represent southern Wisconsin in Congress in 1998 and for part of his tenure chaired the House Budget Committee. He was Mitt Romney's vice-presidential running mate in the 2012 presidential election. He did not seek re-election in 2018.

Topics: federal budget
Context: a speech
Fact-check justification: Our rating Ryan said "over $1 trillion" was spent on anti-poverty programs in 2011, enough to "give every single poor American a check for $22,000." As a sweeping statement, Ryan’s  is partially accurate, in that roughly $1 trillion was spent on means-tested programs, and if you divided that by the number of people living in poverty, it would amount to roughly $22,000 per person. But Ryan mixes apples and oranges, in that the $1 trillion is actually spent on far more people than the 46 million counted as living in poverty. Moreover, much of the money goes to institutions, such as nursing homes and schools, and not directly into the pockets of the poor. We rate Ryan’s statement .
Statement: Fred's never had a 100 percent record on right-to-life in his Senate career. The records reflect that. And he doesn't support the human life amendment, which is most amazing because that's been a part of the Republican platform since 1980.

Context: an appearance on Fox News Sunday
Fact-check justification: Yeah. But ... to have an amendment compelling — going back even further than pre-Roe v. Wade, to have a constitutional amendment to do that, I do not think would be the way to go. We find Huckabee's  about Thompson's antiabortion bona fides to be . But Huckabee should be careful about casting stones. Last year, citing the 10th Amendment, Huckabee told Right Wing News that abortion should be left to the states.

Fact-check justification: Rubio said, "Under Obamacare, when you turn Medicaid over to the states, what you're saying to them is, the money will be available up front for the expansion for a few years. Then, the money will go away, but you get stuck with the unfunded liability." His office did not respond to us. The federal government will only pay 100 percent of the costs of expanding Medicaid for three years starting in 2014. But Rubio leaves a  impression with viewers that all of the money just goes away. The federal government plans to bring down its share to a permanent funding level of 90 percent.

Statement: Financed the largest parking expansion program without a rate increase.
Speaker: dick greco
About the speaker: Dick Greco, 77, is making his fifth run for mayor in Tampa's nonpartisan elections on March 1, 2011. He previously served as mayor from 1967 to 1974 and 1995 to 2003.
Date: May 1, 2002
Location: florida
Topics: city budget
Context: city report reprinted as 2011 mayoral campaign material
Fact-check justification: The deal to build the St. Petersburg Times Forum in downtown Tampa came together partly because the city agreed to guarantee the Tampa Bay Lightning about $1.2 million a year from the South Regional parking garage. Similarly, part of event revenues from the William F. Poe parking garage go to a capital improvement fund for the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts. But the Greco campaign's statement that under his last administration the city "financed the largest parking expansion program without a rate increase" fails to mention the rate increase that took place immediately after he left office. Also, the funding problems since then can't be overlooked. They are a direct result of the expansion, so we rate this statement .

Context: a tweet
Fact-check justification: Pelosi said, "The CDC has the power to extend the eviction moratorium." Pelosi makes it sound as if the legal authority is a certainty, but even the most generous reading of the law’s status today is that it’s inconclusive. And legal experts told PolitiFact that it’s more like a long shot. The lack of a formal Supreme Court ruling on the merits leaves some uncertainty over the law. But at least five justices in a procedural ruling sent a clear signal that they don’t believe the executive branch has that power. Pelosi’s degree of certitude about the law ignores critical facts that would give a different impression. We rate the statement .

Fact-check justification: Trump said, "Consumer confidence, business confidence, and manufacturing confidence are the highest they have been in many decades." In general, all three types of economic confidence are at relatively high levels today. However, it’s a stretch to say that they are "the highest they have been in many decades." Consumer confidence exceeded today’s level less than 20 years ago, and in several surveys, business confidence exceeded today’s level as recently as the Obama years. We rate the statement .

Fact-check justification: Bee said, "In Florida felonies can be things like buying weed, tampering with an odometer or disturbing a lobster trap. So basically spring break." Bee is correct that these crimes are felonies on the books in Florida. Only a handful of felony convictions for tampering with an odometer or disturbing a lobster trap in recent years. The drug statute she cited resulted in about 400 felony convictions related to marijuana. For small amounts of marijuana, the crime is a misdemeanor.

Statement: Rauner made you pay for abortions in all nine months of pregnancy.

Date: February 7, 2018
Location: illinois
Topics: abortion
Context: a campaign ad
Fact-check justification: Ives said, "Rauner made you pay for abortions in all nine months of pregnancy." Ives would have been on solid ground had she confined herself to criticizing Rauner for expanding Medicaid and state employee health plans to include coverage for elective abortions in the earlier months of pregnancy, just as many private insurance plans do. Instead, she took it further, suggesting his action opened up a new requirement for the state to pay for all abortions occurring in pregnancies closer to term as well. The state has been required for more than two decades to pay for an abortion whenever a doctor determines that a woman on Medicaid or state insurance needs the procedure to save her life or preserve her health, along with cases involving rape or incest. The new law Rauner signed did nothing to alter the legality of abortions in Illinois. Nor was it responsible for extending state coverage to include the few abortions permitted after the point when a fetus is considered able to survive outside the womb. Such instances were already included, rendering Ives’  that it was Rauner who cleared the way for the state to cover abortions in every single month of pregnancy . We rate her statement . Correction: An earlier version of this fact-check incorrectly stated that federal law requires states to permit abortions after viability in cases of rape or incest and that Illinois provided coverage for these later procedures. Illinois law only permits post-viability abortions in cases where a doctor determines a mother’s life or health is at risk. As stated in this fact-check, the bill Rauner signed did not alter state law concerning the legality of abortions in any way, nor did it expand coverage for late abortions.

Fact-check justification: The division sends child support payments on prepaid debit cards that are issued by U.S. Bank. It’s called a ReliaCard, and neither the state nor U.S. Bank "controls, tracks or denies purchases" with it, according to the child support services division.   Before the state started sending payments using the prepaid debit card in February 2020, child support recipients received payments on what was called a First State Family Card. This was a prepaid Visa card that was credited whenever a child support payment was received, and the state didn’t limit purchases with this card, either. We rate this post .
