### [Full-Time Employment Increased Under Biden, Contrary to Rick Scottâs Claim](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/03/full-time-employment-increased-under-biden-contrary-to-rick-scotts-claim/)
[](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/03/full-time-employment-increased-under-biden-contrary-to-rick-scotts-claim/)
As we reported in January, President Donald Trump inherited a resilient economy experiencing continued growth in jobs, including an increase in full-time workers. But Republican Sen. Rick Scott recently painted a much different picture, calling the pre-Trump economy âcrappyâ and falsely claiming that full-time employment was âdropping almost the entire Biden administration.â
### [Both Sides Spin Who Would Benefit from Extending Trump Tax Cuts](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/03/both-sides-spin-who-would-benefit-from-extending-trump-tax-cuts/)
[](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/03/both-sides-spin-who-would-benefit-from-extending-trump-tax-cuts/)
With the Republican-controlled Congress moving forward with President Donald Trumpâs call to extend the 2017 individual tax cuts, Democrats and Republicans are spinning the facts about who would benefit. Several Democrats have framed the tax cuts as exclusively benefiting billionaires, while Trump has suggested everyone in America would see a tax cut.

[](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/03/trumps-flawed-claim-that-tariffs-made-the-u-s-its-richest/)
In arguing for more tariffs on goods imported to the United States, President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. was its ârichestâ or âwealthiestâ during the late 1800s and early 1900s because of tariffs. In multiple ways, his claim is wrong or misleading.

In the midst of a growing measles outbreak in Texas that has killed one child, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has misleadingly focused on vitamin A, including from cod liver oil, and two non-standard medications as treatments for measles.

Social media posts, some pointing to comments by podcaster Joe Rogan, are spreading unsupported claims that members of the Patriot Front are federal agents and that the group disbanded after the recent leadership change at the FBI. But days after Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI director, the Patriot Front had two public rallies, and its website refutes the claims.

Hereâs our fact-check of President Donald Trumpâs address to a joint session of Congress, in video form.

In his first address to a joint session of Congress in his second term, President Donald Trump distorted the facts on fraud, immigration, aid to Ukraine, the economy, autism and more.
### [Trump Exaggerates on U.S. and European Aid to Ukraine, Loans](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/03/trump-exaggerates-on-u-s-and-european-aid-to-ukraine-loans/)
[](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/03/trump-exaggerates-on-u-s-and-european-aid-to-ukraine-loans/)
As President Donald Trump has sought to secure rights to Ukraineâs minerals as compensation for U.S. aid to fight the Russian invasion, he has repeatedly overstated the amount of aid provided by the U.S. compared with Europe and exaggerated the extent to which European assistance â unlike U.S. aid â is in the form of guaranteed loans.

[](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/03/the-war-of-words-over-medicaid-cuts/)
Democrats and Republicans are accusing one another of âlyingâ about what a House Republican budget resolution means for Medicaid, and both sides have made misleading or speculative comments. Thereâs little doubt the health care program would face cuts under the plan â and it would have to if Medicare cuts are off limits.
### [Posts Spread False Claim About DOGE Halting Supposed Obamacare âRoyaltiesâ](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/02/posts-spread-false-claim-about-doge-halting-supposed-obamacare-royalties/)
[](https://www.factcheck.org/2025/02/posts-spread-false-claim-about-doge-halting-supposed-obamacare-royalties/)
Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency have been tasked by President Donald Trump with slashing federal spending. But social media posts falsely claim that as part of that effort, DOGE stopped âroyaltiesâ to former President Barack Obama related to the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. The claim came from a satirical website.

**Q: Is it true that under the SAVE Act married women will not be able to register to vote if their married name doesnât match their birth certificate?**
**A:** The proposed SAVE Act instructs states to establish a process for people whose legal name doesnât match their birth certificate to provide additional documents. But voting rights advocates say that married women and others who have changed their names may face difficulty when registering because of the ambiguity in the bill over what documents may be accepted.
