Graphic Cites FactCheck.org in Misleading Biden, Trump Economy Comparison
A graphic circulating on social media compares Donald Trump’s and Joe Biden’s economic records as president and cites FactCheck.org as the source. But two of its figures are way off, and others are out of date — creating a more unfavorable comparison for Trump.

Trump Expands on Dubious Daily Tariff Revenue Claim
President Donald Trump has added to his unsupported claim that the U.S. is making “$2 billion a day” from tariffs by saying that the country was losing $2 billion or $3 billion “a day” under President Joe Biden.

TikTok and U.S. National Security

We’ll summarize the facts about TikTok and the national security concerns about it in the U.S.
