We at @PolitiFact are proud to partner with @WCVB on fact-checking tonight's final Markey-Moulton match-up.

In an unusual public display of political muscle, UF clapped back at @SenRickScott on social media and pitched its lone presidential finalist to @EDSecMcMahon as firmly aligned with Trump’s higher-ed agenda. DeSantis staffers boosted UF’s posts. miamiherald.com/news/politic…

"Delgado and other 'local journalists' identified as staff of the South Florida Standard are creations of artificial intelligence – complete with fake headshots and made-up biographies peppered with South Florida cliches"

The US and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. President Donald Trump said Iran could soon have missiles capable of reaching the US, but a 2025 federal government assessment said that’s years away. politifact.com/article/2026/…

Fact-check: Kristi Noem said Alex Pretti was "brandishing" a handgun and "attacked" officers in Minneapolis.

For the first time since 2009, PolitiFact is recalibrating the Lie of the Year — our award for the most egregious falsehood we've seen in a year's worth of fact-checking. This year, we want to focus less on the offenders who perpetuate the falsehoods, and more on those who are hurt by them. So “congratulations” 2025. PolitiFact names you Year of the Lies. 🧵 buff.ly/0xMtlSp
