Trump 2025 Joint Session Fact Check Debunking Trump's disinformation speech with all the receipts

Trump claims DOGE found $8M in wasted spending on "making mice transgender."

It was actually $8M for transgenic mice, used to study gene function or generate models to help cure genetic disease in humans.🤦‍♂️

Just 1 of Trump's many lies I debunk in my fact check:

There are no "illegal protests" under the First Amendment.

This is just fascism brought to us by an ignorant old man drunk on power.

Surely this is all very ethical for a President to do while in office www.wired.com/story/people...

Selective outrage of the right.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

To be couped by adults is disconcerting.

To be couped by children is downright insulting.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why?

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

They Obeyed In Advance, Trump Still Made Them Pay We told you so, corporate media

Trump cutting off access to the Press is just the beginning. We warned them, but they clearly didn’t listen. And in the end, the American people will pay the price for it. Lies and fake news manufactured by the White House, looks to become the norm.

Facebook suppressed promotion of political content during a Democratic administration and is restoring it for a Republican one

In this age of increased terrorist threats and actions, we strongly need an FBI run by seasoned and competent leaders, not political hacks like Kash Patel.

They’re going to shutdown the government before they even have a chance to run it.

Trump's transition is happening over private emails. Federal officials are nervous. Agencies are weighing in-person requirement for sensitive data.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Ketamine fueled? Chummy with this guy?

No, Chip. We haven’t.

Beware of the people who spent the last several years mocking Hunter Biden’s addiction issues who are now virtue signaling about Pete Hegseth’s alcohol issues.

The best thing about BlueSky is not financing a sociopath.

Elon Musk and Pete Hesgeth are the kind of tough alpha males that America needs, according to their mommies

I love how South Korea was like yeah no and ended that shit before dinner. Goals. 😂
