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 Roger Marshall (R): Migrants from Central America brought screwworm into the U.S. on their pets or bodies.
FactCheck.org rating: False (Experts said there is no data showing migrants spread screwworm in a meaningful way, and human cases are rare; illicit livestock movement may have contributed but does not explain the outbreak’s origin.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Natalie Harp, a young woman often seen in photographs with President Donald Trump during his second term, is a hospice nurse.
Snopes.com rating: False (The woman in the circulating photographs is Natalie Harp, who works as the president’s assistant. There was no evidence Harp was certified to work as a hospice nurse, and theories that she was performing those duties for Trump were purely speculative, based on Harp’s publicly known closeness with the president.) Baseless claim Natalie Harp is Trump’s hospice nurse spreads online |
| MOSTLY FALSE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): Congress can end birthright citizenship through legislation, and “no long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary.”
FactCheck.org rating: Mostly False (The Supreme Court majority interpreted the 14th Amendment as protecting citizenship for nearly everyone born in the U.S., and constitutional and immigration law experts said Congress cannot override that by statute without a constitutional amendment or a future Supreme Court reversal.) Trump’s Dubious Claim that Birthright Citizenship Could Still Be Overturned with Legislation |
| FALSE | (International: France): Real Eurosport video report says Kylian Mbappe accused Emmanuel Macron of sexual harassment.
Lead Stories rating: False |
