MOSTLY FALSE	Claim by JD Vance (R): Under Donald Trump, housing price growth slowed to about 1–2% mainly because of “negative net migration” and the administration’s efforts to remove undocumented immigrants. FactCheck.org rating: Mostly False (The Case-Shiller index shows home price growth has slowed to around 1.6% since Trump took office, but that deceleration began in March 2024, 10 months before his term. Economists primarily attribute the slowdown to high prices, elevated mortgage rates, demographic shifts, and buyer hesitation, not immigration trends.) Vance’s Misleading Claims on Housing Prices and Illegal Immigration
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: In early December 2025, U.S President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social: “STOP SAYING MY FIFA PEACE PRIZE AWARD IS A PARTICIPATION TROPHY!! I earned it by working 26 hours a day, 8 days a week, to bring peace to the warring people on the isle of Fifa! Snopes rating: False (Fake) Don’t fall for this Trump post about bringing peace to ‘Isle of Fifa’
FALSE	Claim by FDA official Vinay Prasad: Proposed major changes to FDA vaccine approval — including eliminating immunobridging, overhauling flu vaccine evaluation, and rejecting concurrent-vaccine safety methods — are necessary due to the alleged child deaths. FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (Twelve former FDA commissioners wrote in NEJM that the changes would suppress innovation, block timely vaccine updates, increase costs, and harm public health. Immunobridging is a long-established, evidence-based method for updating vaccines, especially for evolving pathogens.) Unpacking the FDA’s ‘Black Friday’ Vaccine Memo FDA Rating
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: During a 2025 speech in Detroit, U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib publicly called for Hamas supporters to mobilize and take over America. Snopes rating: False (The claim is made up) Rashida Tlaib didn’t call for Hamas supporters to mobilize and take over America
FALSE	(International: Australia): Toyota LandCruisers are banned in Australia. AAP rating: False (The vehicle has not been banned in Australia.) No, Toyota LandCruisers haven’t been driven out of Australia
