Fannie & Freddies Next Reality Show: Wall Street Edition
Fact-Check Summary The claim that the Trump administration plans to take Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public through a major IPO later this year is largely accurate in terms of policy intention, based on multiple credible media reports and official statements. However, this timeline is ambitious given significant unresolved technical, regulatory, and political hurdles. While senior officials have confirmed active…
“THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post claims that House Oversight efforts to gather evidence could overturn President Biden’s pardons, celebrating this as “great news” and associating the sentiment with Donald Trump.

“The Press Conference on Crime and Beautification will be held tomorrow, at 10:00 A.M. EST, in the Press Briefing Room, and it will not only involve ending the Crime, Murder, and Death in our Nations Capital, but will also be about Cleanliness and the General Physical Renovation and Condition of our once beautiful and well maintained Capital. We are not going to allow people to spend $3.1 Billion Dollars on fixing up a building, like the Federal Reserve, which could have been done in a far more elegant and time sensitive manner for $50 to $100 Million Dollars. The Renovation would have actually been better, and we would have saved $3 Billion Dollars, Traffic Jams, and never-ending Construction. The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive. The American Public is not going to put up with it any longer. Just like I took care of the Border, where you had ZERO Illegals coming across last month, from millions the year before, I will take care of our cherished Capital, and we will make it, truly, GREAT AGAIN! Before the tents, squalor, filth, and Crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the World. It will soon be that again. Thank you for your attention to this matter — See you tomorrow at 10 A.M.!” @realDonaldTrump

Official data from the Metropolitan Police Department shows crime in D.C. has declined substantially (violent crime down 26% in 2025), directly refuting the claim that crime is…

Fact-Check Summary The post claims that Russian military recruitment involves high-risk, life-changing financial incentives, primarily targeting poorer, older recruits, with signing-on bonuses, annual pay, and death benefits greatly exceeding average Russian income. Most figures and characterizations, though partially garbled, are supported by credible analysis from independent sources like Re:Russia, IStories, and official Russian budget data. The bonus amounts, annual salary…
