FACT CHECK: A Bad Bill and Bombs Bombing

Politifact tackles some of the factually-challenged (i.e., false) statements that have been made about "The Big, Beautiful Bill."

So…what do we know about radiation risks in Iran after the Israeli and U.S. strikes? The Associated Press debunks or clarifies some of the things being said.

Trump says that because of the bombing he ordered, "Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated." FactCheck.org says that ain't necessarily so.

He also says that the U.S. brought in $88 billion from tariffs in just two months. Again, FactCheck.org says otherwise.

And my favorite commentator on topics like the military and the Middle East, Fred Kaplan, has an article up entitled, "If You're Confused About the War With Iran, You Have Every Reason to Be." Well worth your attention.
