Video: FactChecking Trump’s Address to Congress – FactCheck.org
By FactCheck.orgPosted on March 5, 2025Here’s our fact-check of President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, in video form. The video, produced by FactCheck.org Social Media Manager Josh Diehl, is based on our article on the president’s March 4 speech. Our staff found that Trump made exaggerated, misleading or unsupported claims about finding fraud in government spending, including in Social Security; U.S. versus European aid to Ukraine; the state of the economy when he took office; the closure of power plants; fentanyl coming across the border with Canada; the Panama Canal — and more. We had written about many of these claims before.For more details, see our full article: “FactChecking Trump’s Address to Congress.”Editor’s note: FactCheck.org does not accept advertising.

Q: Is it true that under the SAVE Act married women will not be able to register to vote if their married name doesn’t match their birth certificate?A: The proposed SAVE Act instructs states to establish a process for people whose legal name doesn’t 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.
