BLATANT LIE	Claim by President Donald Trump (R): The United States has a “virtually unlimited supply” of munitions that could allow wars to be fought “forever.” PolitiFact rating: False (Defense experts say the U.S. has significant stockpiles of some weapons but not an unlimited supply. Certain munitions — particularly interceptor missiles used for air and missile defense — could run low within weeks during sustained conflict, and some inventories would require replenishment.) Trump said US has a ‘virtually unlimited supply’ of munitions to fight Iran ‘forever.’ Is that true? Donald Trump Rating
TRUE	Claim via Social Media: Andrew Paul Johnson, whom President Donald Trump pardoned for his participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was sentenced to life in prison for sexually abusing two children. Snopes rating: True Andrew Paul Johnson, Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump, got life sentence for sexually abusing children
MISLEADING	Claim by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Regenerative agriculture is better for the soil than conventional agriculture. Science Feedback rating: Lacks Context (Scientific evidence shows that these methods can increase yields and sustainability in certain circumstances.However, in the lack of a single definition, there is little way to verify whether something really is ‘regenerative’ or not.) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. likes regenerative agriculture, but what is it?
FALSE	(International: United Kingdom): The mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani said the “UK has lost its moral compass” at an event attended by Keir Starmer, and in return the PM banned him from Britain. Full Fact rating: False (There is no evidence Mr. Mamdani said this and the audio in the video claiming this has almost definitely been made using artificial intelligence. Mr. Mamdani has not been banned from Britain.) NYC mayor not banned from UK – Full Fact
