Previous Troubling Reports

Trump banned CNN from the White House, which is a dangerous slippery slope into banning free speech and honest coverage of the government. This can't continue, because It can bar people of a certain viewpoint from seeing/speaking about what is going on with the administration, and cause only one side of the story to be released to the people.

This is an issue because it takes a statistic, and completely warps it to mean something completely different, lying to the people of North Carolina. This claim comes from a republican senate candidate, who desperately needs to win a seat in order for the republicans to maintain control. This news is troubling because it is yet another instance of politicians practically lying to people in order to garner support, and it is wrong.

A claim spread online said that undocumented immigrants in Chicago got $20,000 each in government benefits.. A fact-check from Snopes, on September 23 2026 said the claim is misleading. It doesn’t show the picture and gives the wrong idea about how government assistance works. The story misses details and makes it seem like people received much more than they actually did. The truth is more complicated. The numbers don’t add up the way the viral post suggests.

A viral statement said that President Joe Biden "cut off 440 reporters credentials." According to PolitiFacts fact-check there were changes, to the White House pass rules. However the reporters who were affected were not banned from covering the White House. They could still apply for day passes. The claim misses details. PolitiFact gave the claim a rating of False.

This article ends with the quote "Today’s resolutions send a clear message: hospitals that target children in these practices and then fraudulently obtain payment for the procedures will be held to account." This is troubling as the author does not provide any statistics or detailed information showing instances of targeting or fraudulent gain of financial resources, creating significant harm to the community this quote is targeting if it is false.

this article talks about trump's recent speech at the republican midterm convention. At the convention, Trump began to lead a pledge encouraging his supporters to pledge their allegiance to him. He also said that he didn't care if they were registered, encouraging them to "cheat like they (the democrats) do." This is problematic because he is not only trying to convince his base that the democrats are cheating, but him having his base pledge allegiance seems very cult-like

A Florida governor candidate recently claimed that the uptick in Measles cases is caused by illegal immigration during Joe Biden's term. This however is untrue, as the real cause is the falling vaccination rates. This is dangerous because not only does it lead people to blame those that are not responsible for the rise, but it also fails to educate people as to a way in which we can revert this trend and decrease the rates once again.

there has been a lot of uncertainty regarding Trump's deal to import cheap beef. There has been lots of people sharing online that the beef Trump is importing comes from Argentina, and has been previously rejected by China for being banned antibiotics. This article breaks down those claims, and states that these claims are not true. It is difficult to sift through all the misinformation is out there, but one thing is clear, and it is that nobody can trust anything this administration is doing, especially with the amount of health scares, and food issues and recalls recently, and that is a major issue.

This is troubling because it is yet another example of Trump declaring he will make changes to bodies of water that aren't his to change. It is insane to me that this administration just continues to claim things, and make changes without any real process to it, leaving a mess for the next administration to clean up.

This is concerning because a false statistic about miscarriages can create unnecessary fear about vaccines, especially among pregnant women, and may influence health decisions based on inaccurate information.

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.

This news is very troubling because the claim falsely suggests that the United States is giving up control of its military to another country. Misinformation like this can create unnecessary fear and anger, mislead people about U.S. foreign policy, and influence how voters view politicians or government decisions based on something that didn't actually happen.
