Previous Troubling Reports

this article talks about trump's recent speech at the republican midterm convention. At the convention, Trump began to lead a pledge encouraging his supporters to pledge their allegiance to him. He also said that he didn't care if they were registered, encouraging them to "cheat like they (the democrats) do." This is problematic because he is not only trying to convince his base that the democrats are cheating, but him having his base pledge allegiance seems very cult-like

A Florida governor candidate recently claimed that the uptick in Measles cases is caused by illegal immigration during Joe Biden's term. This however is untrue, as the real cause is the falling vaccination rates. This is dangerous because not only does it lead people to blame those that are not responsible for the rise, but it also fails to educate people as to a way in which we can revert this trend and decrease the rates once again.

there has been a lot of uncertainty regarding Trump's deal to import cheap beef. There has been lots of people sharing online that the beef Trump is importing comes from Argentina, and has been previously rejected by China for being banned antibiotics. This article breaks down those claims, and states that these claims are not true. It is difficult to sift through all the misinformation is out there, but one thing is clear, and it is that nobody can trust anything this administration is doing, especially with the amount of health scares, and food issues and recalls recently, and that is a major issue.

This is troubling because it is yet another example of Trump declaring he will make changes to bodies of water that aren't his to change. It is insane to me that this administration just continues to claim things, and make changes without any real process to it, leaving a mess for the next administration to clean up.

This is concerning because a false statistic about miscarriages can create unnecessary fear about vaccines, especially among pregnant women, and may influence health decisions based on inaccurate information.

This is troubling because again, Trump is making false claims about the 2020 election. He is likely doing this now to try and get stricter voting legislation passed before both the upcoming midterms and before the 2028 election. He is really just saying anything to try and keep the conspiracy around the 2020 election going.

This news is very troubling because the claim falsely suggests that the United States is giving up control of its military to another country. Misinformation like this can create unnecessary fear and anger, mislead people about U.S. foreign policy, and influence how voters view politicians or government decisions based on something that didn't actually happen.

After a 7+ magnitude earthquake shocked Colombia on Monday, conspiracy theorists have begun blaming these earthquakes on the HAARP research program in Alaska. Scientists found that the earthquake was actually caused by strike-slip faulting, where two sections of earths crust move horizontally past each other.

This falsely ties Abdul El-Sayed to an extreme statement about the 9/11 attacks without evidence that he ever said or supported it. Claims like this can hurt a candidate's reputation and shape voters' opinions based on false information. It is especially concerning during an election, when misleading political claims can spread quickly and influence how people vote.

Trump claims that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election. In response to this, several politicians in both the Republican and Demcratic party said that they had not experienced voter fraud and that the vast majority of the election was safe and secure. These supporting claims were also made by the Board of Election Commissioners as well as other officials, describing the security of the elections.

This news is troubling because it is another instance of trump softly pushing an anti-vax rhetoric. He keeps stating things that just aren't true, but that lead some to decide to not vaccinate their children. This can become a major issue, as diseases that had been completely eradicated thanks to vaccination have come back in recent years after not being a problem for decades.

This is troubling because the number is wildly made up. More accurate estimates point to 36 - half of what Trump and RFK are claiming. This is just unnecessary fear-mongering.
