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)

| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: A screenshot authentically shows a post U.S. President Donald Trump made to Truth Social saying that there were “too many non-working holidays in America” that cost the country “billions of dollars” to keep businesses closed.
Snopes rating: True (Trump made the post on June 19, 2025 — it was not a 2026 “Labor Day message,” as some people claimed.) Did Trump say US has ‘too many non-working holidays’ that cost country ‘billions’? |
| MOSTLY FALSE |
Claim by Troy Jackson (D): When Sen. Susan Collins “had the chance to actually vote to stop Trump’s tariffs from driving up costs for Maine families and businesses, she voted NO.”
PolitiFact rating: Mostly False (Collins did vote against one tariff-related amendment, but Jackson omitted four other 2025 votes in which Collins joined Democrats in opposing Trump’s tariffs.) In Maine Senate race, Troy Jackson misleads about Sen. Susan Collins voting record on Trump tariffs |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: It is legal to kill a newborn baby in California.
AAP rating: False (Infanticide is illegal in California.) |
| FALSE | (International: Nepal): Devastating floods in Nepal unearthed huge fossils.
AFP Fact Check rating: False Nepal artwork misrepresented as fossil unearthed by deadly floods |
