“A Department of Homeland Security review identified approximately 278,000 noncitizens illegally registered to vote in U.S. federal elections, including about 250,000 across California, Nevada, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.”

DHS really did announce the figure, and New Jersey has confirmed a genuine registration failure. But the claim's key word is "identified." DHS said only that the numbers "may be as many as," disclosed no methodology, and its own letters reported that the registrants matching a noncitizen record on all four identifiers came to roughly 46% of the four-state headline total.

“Getting the measles vaccine is more dangerous than being infected with measles.”

The claim that MMR vaccination is more dangerous than catching measles is false. Encephalitis follows roughly 1 in 1,000 measles infections but about 1 in 1,000,000 MMR doses, according to the StatPearls MMR monograph, and measles killed 400 to 500 Americans a year before the vaccine — while the Infectious Diseases Society of America states there have been no deaths shown to be related to the MMR vaccine in healthy people.

“Taking Tylenol (acetaminophen/paracetamol) during pregnancy causes autism and ADHD in children.”

The claim that acetaminophen taken during pregnancy causes autism and ADHD is not supported by the best-designed research. Two very large sibling-controlled studies — 2,480,797 children in Sweden and 708,020 mother-child pairs in Hong Kong — found essentially no difference in autism or ADHD between exposed and unexposed siblings (hazard ratios of 0.98 to 1.01). A July 2026 appeals court ruling that revived 500-plus lawsuits was procedural: Reuters reported the panel stressed it was not deciding whether acetaminophen causes autism or ADHD.

“A video shows U.S. President Donald Trump collapsing while attempting to get into his vehicle, evidence of a serious decline in his health.”

The video circulating since July 24, 2026 was generated with AI and carried a disclaimer from the person who posted it. It was built on real Fox News footage from July 1, 2026, in which Trump pauses briefly but does not fall.

“China illicitly acquired 220 million U.S. voter files in what may be the largest compromise of election data in history, and this was concealed from the public by intelligence officials.”

Trump said China "illicitly" acquired 220 million U.S. voter files and that intelligence officials concealed it. China's possession of the data is real. But the acquisition methods the released documents actually specify are lawful or ambiguous — a January 2022 alert says a China-linked actor "downloaded publicly available voter registration information" from commercial websites in six states, and other data is described as "likely leaked" — and analysts across the spectrum found the materials too redacted to establish how the bulk was obtained. The underlying finding was declassified in October 2022, nearly four years before the speech.

“The extreme heatwaves that hit Europe and North America in mid-2026 were deliberately engineered by HAARP, a US military weather-manipulation program, rather than caused by climate change.”

Viral posts blamed the record mid-2026 heat in Europe and North America on HAARP, a supposed US military weather weapon. HAARP's radio transmitter radiates about 3.6 megawatts into the ionosphere at roughly 100 km altitude — less than a single 5 MW wind turbine generates, at frequencies that are not absorbed in the troposphere or stratosphere where weather actually forms. Meanwhile World Weather Attribution found on 26 June 2026 that the European heatwave's daytime temperatures were about 3.5°C hotter than an identical event would have been in the 1976 climate.

“The IPCC has admitted that its RCP8.5 high-emissions climate scenario was wrong, showing that UN climate projections are unreliable.”

The IPCC issued a statement on 20 May 2026 saying the opposite: it does not own or create climate scenarios, and it called none of them wrong. The high-emissions scenario was revised downward by a separate group of modelling scientists, who describe it as a "what if" tool, not a failed prediction.

“A photograph shows U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell lying in a hospital bed covered in tubes and in extreme distress.”

Snopes rated the viral image of McConnell in a hospital bed "Fake." Two versions were circulating, and a verification tool detected Google's SynthID watermark — the invisible signal embedded in AI-generated pictures — in both, alongside obvious visual tells like tubes leading nowhere and inconsistently mirrored wall fixtures. McConnell was genuinely hospitalized after a June 14 fall, but no authentic photo shows him in that condition.

“Video footage shows Iranian ballistic missiles striking and hitting a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier.”

The footage is an AI-generated fabrication, and no U.S. aircraft carrier has been struck by Iranian missiles at any point in the 2026 war. CENTCOM has denied the specific claim on the record, and independent tracking puts both carriers in the region operational and undamaged as of July 28, 2026.

“Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said in a video address: 'We won't allow Sharia law to be implemented in Italy. I'm Giorgia Meloni. I'm Christian. I'm a daughter of Italy.'”

The ten-second clip is an AI fabrication, animated from a still photo of Meloni's 23 January 2026 press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Rome — an event where she spoke Italian, not English, and never mentioned Sharia. Detection tools rated the file up to 99% likely AI-generated, and it carries a Grok watermark. Meloni has made adjacent remarks about Islam, but not these, and not here.
