Evidence (2024-10-01): Emergency loans are personal loans you use to pay for urgent, unexpected expenses such as medical care or home repairs. These loans are usually funded fast, and some lenders accept consumers with bad credit scores (typically between 550 and 629). Compare personal loans and other ways to get cash if you urgently need funds, especially if you have bad credit. [...] An emergency loan is a personal loan you get to cover an urgent expense. Emergency loans are often unsecured and don't require collateral; instead, the lender uses your financial information, including credit, income and other debts, to decide whether to offer you a loan and at what interest rate. [...] Emergency loans have annual percentage rates from about 6% to 36% and loan amounts from $1,000 to $100,000. Lenders typically have minimum credit score and maximum debt-to-income ratio requirements for personal loans.

Evidence (2024-10-07): Because emergency loans are generally unsecured, you likely won’t need to put up any collateral to get one. However, some lenders offer secured personal loans that require borrowers to put up assets—like home equity and savings account funds—to borrow money. You also can obtain emergency loans through payday loans and credit card advances, but we recommend avoiding these options where possible. [...] Emergency loans aren’t your only option when it comes to borrowing money fast. Depending on the intended purpose of your emergency loan, consider these alternatives before applying for an emergency loan: [...] Emergency loans are typically quick and provide deposits within a day or two of approval. Some lenders may even fund loans on the day you apply.

Evidence (2024-09-23): $5,000 is the maximum amount of foreign currency with which travelers may exit the country. Funds in excess of this amount (and previously undeclared upon arrival) may be confiscated and travelers may be arrested for failure to declare the foreign currency.

Claim: Claims that Bill Murray said, "So, if we lie to the government, it's a felony. But if they lie to us it's politics." (Viral Quote, 2019-10-24)
Evidence (2019-10-24): There is no evidence that Murray said this quote. It likely got linked to him after a parody Twitter account tweeted the statement in 2013.

Evidence (2019-10-29): FACT CHECK: Did Bill Murray Say, ‘So, If We Lie To The Government, It’s A Felony. An image shared on Facebook claims that actor Bill Murray said, "So, if we lie to the government, it’s a felony. [...] Although Murray has spoken publicly about politics in the past, there is no evidence that he ever made the statement attributed to him in the Facebook post. An internet search revealed no credible sources linking the quote to the "Ghostbusters" actor.

Evidence (2022-01-19): Actor Bill Murray is a very quotable person, but people on the internet are getting so gung-ho about posting his idioms, the actor began trending on Twitter Monday for a quote he never even said. The offending quote in questions is, "So, if we lie to the government, it’s a felony. It’s a sentiment shared by many, sure, but not one that’s ever been uttered by the legendary comic star. [...] In its article, the publication said they "found no evidence that Murray ever said this" and that a Google search of the quote and Murray’s name "brings up no credible sources." The report went on to say they contacted a representative for Murray and are awaiting a response, but that could take a while seeing as he doesn’t have an agent or a cellphone.

Evidence (2022-01-24): The government’s lies are similar to the lies of nongovernmental parties in their frequency, variety, and thus their complexity. But the government’s lies are also different from our own lies in important ways that can and should affect their legal treatment. As I’ve written elsewhere, "[t]he government is unique among speakers because of its coercive power as sovereign, its considerable resources, its privileged access to key information, and its wide variety of speaking roles as policymaker, commander-in-chief, employer, educator, health care provider, property owner, and more." [...] Because the government is like no other speaker, its lies sometimes threaten harms different from—and greater than—the harms inflicted by nongovernmental speakers’ lies. For these reasons, we may understandably worry more about the government’s lies than we worry about the same sorts of lies delivered by nongovernmental speakers.

Evidence (2022-10-19): For instance, lies about when polls close, where one can vote, whether one can vote online, by mail, and the like, and who is eligible to vote. These lies can generally be narrowly defined and tend to be easily verifiable; and many such lies are likely to happen shortly before the election, when established alternative institutions—election officials, candidates, the media, and others—might not have the time to undo the effects of the lie.To be sure, the distinction between such statements and political lies more broadly is not completely sharp. In New York Times v. Sullivan, the allegation about King having been arrested seven times by the police was also a narrow and easily verifiable claim, and yet that too was seen as categorically not punishable. Moreover, there will sometimes be controversy about whether a particular statement is an obvious joke, as with this meme, which is the foundation of a criminal prosecution: [...] I do not discuss the separate questions of whether and when lies by government officials should be punishable, whether by removal from office or otherwise. See, e.g., Ross, supra note 20.

Evidence (2021-12-31): The notion that politicians tell lies has come to be regarded as a universal truth. [...] "But when public officials lie, that's really high-stakes lying. because that undermines the fundamental relationship of authority between people and their elected officials, which is at the heart of the legitimacy of the state." [...] "So when they lie, we all lie."

Evidence (2012-02-22): Is A Lie Just Free Speech, Or Is It A Crime? [...] Verrilli said it is, but then Alito asked why the government chose to draw the line there. "Suppose the statute also made it a crime to represent falsely that ... a spouse or a child was a medal recipient?" [...] Justice Elena Kagan noted that quite a few states have laws on the books that make it a crime for political candidates to lie during a political campaign. But Verrilli said those laws too would likely be unconstitutional because they would risk chilling speech.

Evidence (2020-01-24): In the public imagination politicians are professional liars par excellence, or as the writer George Orwell once put it: "Political language … is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable." [...] In her essay Truth and Politics, published in The New Yorker in 1967, the philosopher Hannah Arendt was already lamenting the fact that politics and truth don’t mix. But even Arendt was aware that not all lies are the same. There are lies that are minimal forms of deception, a micro-tear in the fabric of reality, while some lies are so big that they require a complete rearrangement of the whole factual texture, a shift to another reality. In today’s terminology, Arendt was alerting us to the difference between a lie, and the 2016 Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year – "post-truth". [...] We can cope with politicians lying, but we cannot afford the risk of allowing politicians to deligitimise truth.

Evidence (2022-01-17): Bill Murray is trending over a quote that comes off as very anti-government. But did he actually say those words or was he misquoted? [...] Bill Murray has been many things over the course of his long career, a lot of it funny, but the actor has mostly avoided major controversy since first coming on the scene back in the 1970s. He’s a singular dude, taking a different strategy when it comes to his roles and how he navigates Hollywood. Has he had some industry beefs over the years? For sure. But in terms of getting political, the dude really hasn’t gone there all that often. That’s why it was somewhat interesting when Bill Murray began trending on social media over some reported comments he made about the U.S. government. Though now it turns out that he might have been falsely quoted in order to get some clicks. The message attributed to Bill Murray was shared on Twitter and made some decent rounds on the social media platform. The original is a picture of Murray with the quote, "So, if we lie to the government it’s a felony. But if they lie to us it’s politics. " It was just the kind of thing bland enough to not be all that controversial, but also lightning-rod-ish enough to get a certain sector of folks fired up. It got the actor trending with a number of folks jumping on the anti-government bandwagon, but now according to some fact-checking from Reuters, it doesn’t look like Bill Murray said any such thing.

Evidence (2020-01-14): I take up this question in my recent book, "The Government’s Speech and the Constitution." It’s not that surprising that public servants lie – they are human, after all. But when an agency or official backed by the power and resources of the government tells a lie, it sometimes causes harm that only the government can inflict. [...] When public officials speak in these ways, they undermine public trust and frustrate the public’s ability to hold the government accountable for its performance. But they don’t necessarily violate any particular person’s constitutional rights, making lawsuits challenging at best. In other words, just because the government’s lies hurt us does not always mean that they violate the Constitution. [...] It can be hard to prevent government officials from lying, and difficult to hold them accountable when they do. But the tools available for doing just that include not only the Constitution but also persistent pushback from other government officials, the press and the people themselves.

Evidence (2022-02-16): As a political philosopher with a focus on how people try to reason together through political disagreement, I argue that what matters most is not whether a president lies, but when and why he does so. [...] A justification for these lies might be found with reference to practices which – like warfare or politics – necessarily involve conflict and gamesmanship. No one would expect honesty from the enemy side during warfare, and perhaps one should not from opponents in politics either. Some political philosophers have thought that, when politics becomes an adversarial game, politicians might be forgiven when they seek to deceive the other party. President Biden might rely upon this idea, and could note that the Republican Party is less open to bipartisan negotiation than at any time in its history. Even this last justification, however, may not be enough. Lying to one’s political opponents might be permitted in an adversarial context. The lies told by presidents are often addressed to constituents, and such deception seems harder to justify.

Evidence (2024-10-09): Lying is ubiquitous, yet politicians are rarely asked why they do it. Maybe journalists think the reason is obvious; many are reluctant to even use the word lie, because it invites confrontation and demands proof. But the answer could help us address the problem. So I spent the past four years asking members of Congress, political operatives, local officials, congressional staffers, White House aides, and campaign consultants this simple question: Why do politicians lie? [...] Politicians have always played to their base, but polarization has encouraged them to do little else. Now that many politicians speak primarily to their supporters, lying has become both less dangerous and more rewarding. "They gain political favor or, ultimately, they gain election," said Mike McCurry, who served as White House press secretary under President Bill Clinton. As former Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey told me, "It’s human nature to want to get a standing ovation." Lies also provide easy ammunition for attacking opponents—no opposition research required. They "take points off the board for other candidates," said Damon Circosta, a Democrat who recently served as the chair of North Carolina’s Board of Elections.
