Census Bureau report does not prove Trump’s claim about noncitizen voting in 2020
This is troubling because again, Trump is making false claims about the 2020 election. He is likely doing this now to try and get stricter voting legislation passed before both the upcoming midterms and before the 2028 election. He is really just saying anything to try and keep the conspiracy around the 2020 election going.

Rogers Makes False 9/11 Claim About El-Sayed
This falsely ties Abdul El-Sayed to an extreme statement about the 9/11 attacks without evidence that he ever said or supported it.

https://politifact.com/factchecks/2026/aug/11/donald-trump/vaccine-soda-bottle-injection-children/
This news is troubling because it is another instance of trump softly pushing an anti-vax rhetoric. He keeps stating things that just aren't true, but that lead some to decide to not vaccinate their children.

Trump Falsely Claims that kids need 72 vaccines to be healthy

Trump claims his polling numbers are better than what the “fake news” posted
Polling numbers have come out for Donald Trump's approval rating and they aren't good. However, Trump wrote to Truth Social stating that his polling numbers were actually great, despite what the media is saying. This is troubling because Trump just continues to lie, and it seems as if we have just accepted that it is something that will happen. What's worse, is that there are people out there that have been convinced that what Trump is saying is correct, and are also living in a false reality.
