Context: a speech before a joint session of Congress
Fact-check justification: Trump said, "According to data provided by the Department of Justice, the vast majority of individuals convicted of terrorism and terrorism-related offenses since 9/11 came here from outside of our country." Saying the data came from the Justice Department is . It actually came from a congressional subcommittee chaired by then-senator Sessions. Moreover, the data had some limitations. Federal agencies did not provide information on people’s places of origin. Convictions listed also included offenses committed outside the United States and nonviolent acts, such as fraud, experts told us. Finally, the data doesn't account for incidents that some might consider domestic terrorism, such as the case of Dylann Roof.  Trump’s statement contains an element of  but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression.

Fact-check justification: Speaking of immigration cases, Trump said, "We have thousands of judges." There are fewer than 400 immigration judges nationwide. The number of Article III federal judges is about 1,300. Even a combination of those numbers falls short of thousands. Trump’s  is . We rate it .
Statement: If you look at the jobs lost in the private sector as opposed to the job gains in the public sector, it's out of whack. The government's growing and the private economy's shrinking.
Speaker: steve latourette

Context: a newspaper interview
Fact-check justification: But an important detail to know for context is that jobs have been increasing, not diminishing, for the past year. And while there are more jobs in the federal government, even without the temporary census workers who inflated earlier statistics, there are fewer government jobs in total. LaTourette's statement amounts to a verbal snapshot. But while it’s a recognizable picture, it lacks some important details. That's why we rate it, just as we have previous similar claims, as .

Speaker: phil scott
About the speaker: Phil Scott is the 82nd governor of Vermont.

Location: vermont
Topics: health care
Fact-check justification: Scott said, "in 2018, the providers the state paid through the ACO reduced the amount of money spent on healthcare services by $7.7 million." That statement is partially accurate, but it does not account for the administrative costs or financial incentives paid by the state.  Politifact’s guidance describes "" as: "The statement is partially accurate but leaves out important details or takes things out of context." Scott’s  ignores important facts about the cost of OneCare that would lead his audience to draw a different conclusion about the program's financial performance — even for the specific patient population that he references in his statement.  We rate this  . ​
Statement: In Massachusetts under Mitt Romney, "unemployment went down, household incomes went up," and the state "saw its credit rating upgraded.
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.

Context: Tampa
Fact-check justification: Ryan said in his convention speech that when Romney was governor of Massachusetts, unemployment went down, household income went up, and the state’s credit rating was upgraded. Ryan’s  was well grounded mathematically on the unemployment and credit-rating claims. The income  comes with a significant footnote: That increase turned to a decrease when the numbers are adjusted for inflation. We also have noted that no governor can take major credit for economic trends in his or her state. Many other facts are at work than just a governor’s actions. On balance, we rate this triple-header a .

He was the Republican nominee for president in 2008. McCain was a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and spent his career in the military, as his father did. He was a combat pilot in Vietnam who was shot down and spent 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war. He was born in 1936 in Panama.

Context: Manchester, N.H
Fact-check justification: Arlen Specter, senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and some other plan supporters have characterized the steps as "gates" that must be passed through before an illegal immigrant can qualify for citizenship. This is in contrast to what President Ronald Reagan did in 1986, when he signed an immigration reform bill that legalized the status of 1.7-million people. In checking a previous  on that plan, we found it did qualify as amnesty. So, while McCain is more receptive to giving undocumented workers a path to citizenship than most of his GOP rivals, the many hurdles included in his plan do not qualify as a general pardon. We rule his statement .

Context: a roundtable segment on ABC's "This Week with Christiane Amanpour"
Fact-check justification: According to the minutes of the meeting, "several participants noted that the drop in unemployment was attributable more to people withdrawing from the labor force and to fewer layoffs than to increased hiring." "There has been some growth in employment, but not as much as the headline-figure drop in the unemployment rate would initially suggest, and labor-force participation has dropped during the recession," said James Sherk, a senior policy analyst in labor economics at the conservative Heritage Foundation. "There are caveats you could add to make the statement more complete, but as a one-sentence summary it is not far off the mark." Ultimately, we agree that Huffington is largely correct that the unemployment rate is affected by people leaving the workforce, not just by job creation, even if she has slightly exaggerated its extent. We rate her statement .
Statement: $400,000 ... is more money than I've ever made" in a year.
Speaker: joe biden
About the speaker: Joe Biden is the president of the United States. A Democrat, Biden served as a Delaware senator from 1973 (elected at the age of 29) until 2009. During his time in the Senate, he served as chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, chair of the International Narcotics Control Caucus and chair of the Judiciary Committee. He subsequently served as Barack Obama’s vice president from 2009 to 2016. Biden launched unsuccessful presidential campaigns in 1988 and 2008. He received a degree in history and political science from the University of Delaware and his J.D. from Syracuse School of Law.

Fact-check justification: Biden said $400,000 "is more money than I’ve ever made" in a year. That was accurate for most of Biden’s career, when he was in public service and his wife Jill was in teaching. But after Biden left the vice presidency, he earned money from speaking engagements and a book tour, and the couple reported a combined adjusted gross income of more than $11 million and $4 million in successive years.

Context: a tweet
Fact-check justification: Stroebel said in a tweet before the stay-at-home order that he was having his "last legal dinner" with his wife and eight children. Though this is technically  for Stroebel’s family, people reading this tweet could well take away that their own one-household family can’t get together to eat. To that extent, the tweet is .  There’s a key difference between families that still live together under the same roof and those like Stroebel’s with adult children – to the point that Evers’ order allows one and bans the other. So Stroebel is accurate, but only if you take into account key details that weren’t included in his tweet. That’s our definition of .

Context: a Medium post
Fact-check justification: The initial  made by Pitts says, "More people were killed by terrorists in 2015 than in any other year ever, after an 80 percent increase from 2014." While his office corrected those years to 2014 and 2013, respectively, to PolitiFact, the original Medium post was not updated as of publication time to reflect the correct years. Though the  is accurate when the years are corrected, it leaves out context that the vast majority of the terrorism worldwide in 2014 did not directly affect the United States.

Context: a news release
Fact-check justification: One measure of how shortfalls can be addressed: Walker tackled the deficit in his first budget with big spending cuts and other changes, some of which saved taxpayers money. Our rating Larson said: "Over the next two years, this $1.8 billion deficit will cost individual Wisconsinites $300 each, or $1,200 for families of four." No decisions will be made until well after the November 2014 elections on whether to raise revenue or cut spending in order to close the $1.8 billion gap, which is an estimate for the 2015-’17 state budget cycle. And it’s possible that, based on tax collections, the $1.8 billion figure could change. We rate Larson’s statement .

Fact-check justification: The "break-even" price really is much closer to the current stock price than were initial projections. And Treasury's current loss level of $7 billion is less than half the $17 billion projected by Treasury last fall, when it declared the bailout a success. And the congressman is way off the mark with his citation of GM’s highest-ever stock price. Whether the new GM can be viewed as successful is a point we leave up for debate. But as to Renacci’s  about GM stock and the government recouping its TARP investment, we rate the statement .
Statement: In Ohio, due to Medicaid expansion, "nearly 60,000 disabled citizens are stuck on waiting lists ... leaving them without the care they need for months or even years.

Topics: health care
Context: a speech to the National Governors Association
Fact-check justification: Pence said that Medicaid expansion in Ohio left 60,000 people waiting for the services they need. We found no link between the waiting list and Medicaid expansion. In fact, studies found that Medicaid expansion increased services for the disabled. They also found that in Ohio, over 40 percent of people on those lists said they had no immediate need for services. In short, the size of the list is not a sound measure of need. One analysis argued that Medicaid expansion frees up state dollars that could go toward reducing the ranks of people on the waiting list. And overall, there is no clear connection between expanding Medicaid and rising waiting list numbers. In fact, non-expansion states were more likely to see their waiting lists grow. We rate this  .

It would be useful if there were more hard numbers out there to back up Mullis’ . But based on the specific numbers we have from other states and our own estimates, he seems to be in the ballpark.

Context: CNN
Fact-check justification: CDC data support the  of superstar and part-time Atlanta resident Elton John that the South is the region most dramatically affected by the HIV epidemic. Whether that’s because cases are rising in the South or declining in other regions, or a combination of both, is not entirely a clear. Data from 2012-13 shows new HIV diagnoses on the rise in most parts of the country, with the largest -- a 7.5 percent increase -- in the South.    John’s overarching point is that the South has seen an increase in AIDS/HIV, greater than any other region in the nation.  The data supports that. You can quibble about whether there is enough of a trend line to term this a dramatic jump in cases. That takes his statement down a notch on the -O-Meter. We rate John’s statement .
Statement: Holiday heart syndrome" is a cover for deaths caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.
Speaker: viral image
About the speaker: Graphics, pictures and charts shared on social media give chain emails a run for their money when it comes to spreading too-good-to-be-true claims all over the Internet. A common form is is the "Internet macro," which uses an easily recognized and repurposed image (called a meme) wth superimposed text to make a funny but political argument. Sometimes these images are passed across social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit so widely that the original source is nearly impossible to determine.

Context: an Instagram post
Fact-check justification: News outlets also covered "holiday heart syndrome" before the pandemic.   In December 2019, for example, CNN ran this headline : "‘Holiday heart syndrome’: What is it and how to avoid it. "  More recently, The New York Times reported that it’s "really just another phrase for alcohol-induced atrial fibrillation, or AFib, which is a rapid, chaotic heart rhythm." Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiac conditions, and it’s also been connected to the virus that causes COVID-19.   We rate claims that "holiday heart syndrome" is a cover for deaths caused by the COVID-19 vaccine .
