BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: As of July 1, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation will institute a set of standard requirements for license renewal for drivers aged 70 and up focused on vision, cognition and physical ability. Snopes rating: False (Fictional. No evidence) Hit the brakes on rumored new US Department of Transportation rules for drivers 70 and up
FALSE	Claim by Donald Trump (R): “We’ve taken in $88 billion in tariffs in two months. $88 billion with no inflation.” FactCheck.org rating: False (Trump’s claim is false because the $88 billion in tariff revenue he cited was collected over several months—including during Biden’s presidency—not within the two-month period he claimed.) Trump Exaggerates Tariff Revenue Donald Trump Rating
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: Kamala Harris said “If we elect Trump, we will be at war within 6 months.” Lead Stories rating: False (There is no publicly available proof she said it. None of the multiple versions of the meme provides the time or place when she is supposed to have said it. Had she said it while campaigning against Donald Trump for president in 2024, the statement would have been widely reported.) Fact Check: Kamala Harris Did NOT Say ‘If we elect Trump, we will be at war within 6 months’
FALSE	(International: Iran): The video shows recent visuals of Iranian lawmakers setting the US flag on fire in the Parliament. The Quint rating: False This Video of Iranian Lawmakers Setting US Flag on Fire Is From 2018, Not Recent
