The Trump administration has not corrected the known mistakes from the 2020 census, which would give Republicans about a dozen more seats in the House.

The 2020 Census did have significant errors, with overcounts in states like New York and undercounts in states like Texas, potentially affecting congressional apportionment. However, the claim that the Trump administration has not corrected these errors is misleading. The Census Bureau, under the Department of Commerce, acknowledged these inaccuracies and has been working to address them. Additionally, the assertion that correcting these errors would give Republicans about a dozen more seats in the House is speculative and lacks concrete evidence. While correcting the errors could impact seat distribution, the exact number of seats gained or lost would depend on various factors, including the specific corrections made and the apportionment process.

The claim that Florida has only 8% more congressional seats is incorrect. Florida has 28 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, while the average number of seats per state is 8.7 (435 total seats divided by 50 states). This means Florida has approximately 221% more seats than the average state, not 8%.

Americans spend 300 million hours in TSA lines in a normal year, and during government shutdowns, TSA lines exceed 2 hours instead of the usual 15-20 minutes.

The claim that Americans spend 300 million hours in TSA lines annually is plausible, given that TSA screened over 858 million passengers in 2023. However, the assertion that TSA lines exceed 2 hours during government shutdowns is an overgeneralization. While some airports, like Houston's Hobby Airport, experienced wait times over 3 hours during the 2026 shutdown, others maintained shorter lines. Therefore, while the claim highlights real issues, it lacks nuance and context.

The TSA fails safety tests, letting 90% of weapons through.

The claim that the TSA fails safety tests, allowing 90% of weapons through, is based on a 2015 Department of Homeland Security investigation where TSA agents failed to detect weapons and explosives in 67 out of 70 tests, resulting in a 95% failure rate. However, more recent tests in 2017 showed an improved failure rate of approximately 80%. While the TSA has had significant security lapses, the claim lacks context by not acknowledging these improvements over time.

You can't keep your doctor under Obamacare and politicians want you to see a substandard doctor from Swaziland.

The claim that 'You not only CAN'T keep your doctor under Obamacare, but now politicians want you to see a substandard "doctor" from Swaziland' is misleading. While it's true that some individuals experienced changes in their healthcare providers due to network adjustments under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many others retained their doctors. The assertion that politicians are mandating patients to see 'substandard' doctors from Swaziland is unfounded and promotes a negative stereotype without evidence. Efforts to integrate foreign-trained doctors into the U.S. healthcare system aim to address physician shortages, especially in underserved areas, and these professionals are required to meet U.S. medical standards. Therefore, the overall message conveyed by the claim distorts the reality of healthcare provisions under the ACA and the qualifications of foreign-trained doctors.

The Anti-Defamation League's list labels all mixed motive killers as right-wing and excludes certain mass killers.

The claim asserts that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) labels all mixed-motive killers as right-wing and excludes certain mass killers, such as Audrey Elizabeth Hale. The ADL's reports from 2022 to 2024 indicate that all extremist-related murders during those years were committed by right-wing extremists. However, the ADL's classification methods have been criticized for potentially mislabeling or excluding certain incidents. For instance, the Crime Prevention Research Center argues that the ADL's reports may misclassify left-wing violence as right-wing or omit it entirely. Additionally, the ADL's 2022 report does not mention Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who committed a mass shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville in March 2023, after the report's publication. Therefore, while the ADL's reports focus on right-wing extremism, the claim's assertion about labeling and exclusions lacks comprehensive evidence and context.

Mass public shooters who identify as anti-capitalist and supportive of worker ownership are labeled as right-wing extremists or white supremacists.

The claim asserts that mass public shooters who identify as anti-capitalist and supportive of worker ownership are consistently labeled as right-wing extremists or white supremacists. However, available evidence does not support this assertion. Analyses indicate that the majority of mass public shootings are committed by individuals without identifiable political views. When political motivations are present, they are more frequently associated with right-wing extremism, including white supremacist ideologies. There is no substantial evidence to suggest that shooters with anti-capitalist views are mislabeled as right-wing extremists or white supremacists.

The war is very unpopular in the US and Israel is being blamed, which concerns the alliance.

Recent surveys indicate a significant decline in U.S. public support for Israel's military actions. A Gallup poll from February 2026 shows that American sympathies have shifted dramatically toward the Palestinians, with 41% sympathizing more with the Palestinians and only 36% with the Israelis, marking a reversal from previous decades. Additionally, a Pew Research Center survey from October 2025 found that 39% of Americans believe Israel is going too far in its military operations against Hamas, up from 27% in late 2023. This growing unpopularity and the perception of Israel being blamed for the conflict have raised concerns about the ramifications for the U.S.-Israel alliance.

Before this war, Iran’s regime was weaker than at any time in its 47-year history.

As of March 9, 2026, the Iranian regime is experiencing unprecedented instability. Economic collapse, with the rial trading at approximately 1.47 million per dollar and inflation exceeding 40%, has led to widespread protests across all 31 provinces since December 2025. Additionally, the regime has suffered significant regional military setbacks, including the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria and the degradation of proxy networks like Hezbollah and Hamas. These concurrent crises have severely weakened the regime, making it more vulnerable than at any point since its establishment in 1979.

Recent polls from March 2026 indicate that only about one-third of Americans support military action in Iran.

More than a million Americans were killed by cartels in the last decade.

The claim that "more than a million Americans were killed by cartels in the last decade" is significantly exaggerated. According to the CDC, over 334,000 people in the U.S. died from drug overdoses involving synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, between 2013 and 2022. While Mexican cartels are a major source of fentanyl, attributing all these deaths directly to cartels oversimplifies the issue, as domestic factors also play a role. Additionally, the total number of drug overdose deaths, including all substances, was approximately 1 million over the past decade, but not all are linked to cartels. Therefore, the claim overstates the impact of cartels on American fatalities.

Biden let millions of criminals in and Democrats are refusing to imprison them.

The claim that President Biden has allowed 'millions of criminals' into the U.S. and that Democrats are refusing to imprison them is misleading. While there has been an increase in border crossings during the Biden administration, the assertion that millions of these individuals are criminals is not supported by evidence. Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection indicate that from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2024, immigration officials arrested about 103,700 noncitizens with criminal convictions, a figure far from 'millions' ([houstonchronicle.com](https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/politifact/article/fact-check-trump-immigrants-19545983.php?utm_source=openai)).

The claim that President Biden 'let in 10 million illegal immigrants' is misleading.

Independent estimates indicate that the unauthorized immigrant population increased by about 3.5 million during the first two years of the Biden administration, reaching a total of 14 million in 2023.

Somewhat Misleading

Ted Cruz proposed in 2013 that illegal immigrants could stay and work in the U.S. legally without receiving benefits like voting or access to government services.

In 2013, Senator Ted Cruz proposed amendments to the immigration reform bill that would have allowed illegal immigrants to attain legal status and work in the U.S. without a path to citizenship, thereby excluding them from benefits like voting. However, the claim that they would have "no access to government services" is misleading. While Cruz's amendments aimed to prohibit federal, state, or local entitlement benefits for those here illegally, they did not categorically deny all government services. For instance, certain emergency services and education benefits might still be accessible. Therefore, while the core of the claim is accurate, the assertion about "no access to government services" lacks nuance.

True

Federal law rules supreme on immigration.

Federal law does indeed have supremacy over state law in matters of immigration, as established by the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. This means that federal immigration laws take precedence over any conflicting state or local laws.
