When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

BLATANT LIE	Claim by President Donald Trump (R): Shariah courts enforce laws in the U.K. Snopes rating: False (The law in the U.K. is not decided or enforced by Shariah courts or councils, though these do exist in the country. U.K. law is instead built on a combination of acts passed by Parliament and precedents set by judges, who must be free of influence outside the rule of law.) Trump claims ‘Shariah courts’ enforce UK laws. Don’t believe it Donald Trump Rating
TRUE	Claim via Social Media: Photographs and footage shared online in March 2026 authentically show a statue depicting U.S. President Donald Trump holding sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the “Titanic” pose on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Snopes rating: True (It is real.) Statue of Trump holding Epstein in ‘Titanic’ pose appeared on National Mall
NO EVIDENCE	Claim by Donald Trump (R): The bombing of an all girls elementary school in Iran “was done by Iran.” FactCheck.org rating: Unsupported (There is no evidence to support this claim. In fact, evidence points toward it not being done by Iran.) Without Providing Evidence, Trump Pins School Bombing on Iran
FALSE	(International: Australia): Senator Fatima Payman warned a proposed crackdown on NDIS fraud could disproportionately harm Muslim Australians. AAP rating: False (The claim is based on a satirical headline.) Senator’s ‘warning’ about Muslims and NDIS rorters is from parody account
