TRUE	Claim by Jon Ossoff (D): U.S. Rep. Mike Collins “is literally one of the most active crypto traders in the entire Congress, House or Senate.” PolitiFact rating: True (Collins reported about a dozen crypto trades in 2025, and prior analyses ranked him among Congress’ most active cryptocurrency traders.) Is Georgia’s Mike Collins one of the most active crypto traders in Congress? Jon Ossoff Rating
MOSTLY TRUE	Claim via Social Media: U.S. President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency approved the use of the pesticide trifludimoxazin, a known carcinogen and a PFAS “forever chemical.” Snopes.com rating: Mostly True (The EPA classified trifludimoxazin as having “suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential,” which essentially means that while there is evidence the chemical could potentially be one that causes cancer, there isn’t enough data to say for sure. Additionally, the EPA does not consider trifludimoxazin a PFAS, though the intergovernmental Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development does.) What to know about EPA approving pesticide trifludimoxazin
BLATANT LIE	Claim by Donald Trump (R): U.S. banks cannot operate in Canada because Canada “doesn’t allow it.” AP rating: False (There are 15 U.S.-based banks operating in Canada as branches or subsidiaries, though Canadian banking rules can restrict how they compete.) FACT FOCUS: Trump claims US banks cannot operate in Canada. That’s not true Donald Trump Rating
FALSE	(International: India): US President Donald Trump allegedly asked crypto holders for support in securing Greenland as a way to recover their portfolios, according to a post on Truth Social. DigitEye India rating: False (No such Truth Social post by Trump exists and the screenshot is fabricated.) Did Trump seek crypto holders’ help in a post to secure Greenland? Fact Check
