.@Poynter asked the world's factcheckers to evaluate misinfo on X these days. They said the trends are alarming. “Nowadays, you just check the trending topics (to find misinfo). You can also see what Elon Musk retweets or amplifies.” poynter.org/fact-checking/20…

CNN @KatieLobosco asked the Trump campaign for any evidence for his claim that his proposed across-the-board tariffs wouldn’t raise prices for Americans. The campaign responded by sending her a study…which said prices for Americans would rise when the tariffs were implemented.
