BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media.: U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said, “Republicans are trying to rig elections by only allowing U.S. citizens to vote.” Snopes rating: False (She never said this. It is made up.) Did AOC claim GOP is trying to rig elections by letting only citizens vote? Don’t be fooled
TRUE	Claim via Social Media: An authentic photograph shows U.S. President Donald Trump and other men standing in front of and partially obscuring a champion women’s tennis team. Snopes rating: True (it is real) Real photo shows female athletes standing behind men with Trump

PolitiFact rating: Misleading (The law provides a temporary tax break on some tips, but the cited $11,000 reflects total tips earned, not actual tax savings, which would be far lower depending on tax bracket.)
