Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| FALSE | Claim by Mehmet Oz (R): Trump’s drug pricing policies will produce “$600 billion of savings to the average American over the next 10 years.”
FactCheck.org rating: False (There is no evidence drug companies agreed to give Americans $600 billion in savings, and experts said the estimate is difficult to verify because the administration has not disclosed key details of the deals.) The Shaky Assumptions Behind Trump’s Over $500 Billion in Projected Drug Savings |

| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Former first lady Michelle Obama sued UFC fighter Josh Hokit after he called her “a man” following his fight at the White House on June 14, 2026.

Claim by Bernie Sanders (I): “Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.”
PolitiFact rating: Mostly True (Social Security taxes apply only to wages up to $184,500 in 2026, so wages above that amount are not taxed for Social Security. However, Musk’s wealth is largely tied to stock, and he could pay less in years when he has little wage-based income.) Social Security tax rules mean Elon Musk could pay the same or less than someone making $184,500 |
| FALSE | (International: Australia): Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said women’s spaces should be available for everyone.
AAP rating: False (He said women’s spaces should be available for women.) |
