“Florida high schools are now removing Shakespeare, including the full text of ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ to comply with Republicans’ new law restricting ‘sexual content.”
FactCheck.org says: Not all Florida high schools have removed “Romeo and Juliet," though some are allowing only excerpts of the play to be studied in class.
“Hiroshima and Nagasaki were never Nuked.”
FactCheck.org says: The United States dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, killing hundreds of thousands of people to force Japan’s surrender in World War II.
“Illinois is now letting illegal aliens become police officers.”
PolitiFact says: A new Illinois law expands eligibility for becoming police officers from only U.S. citizens to people who are legally allowed both to work in the U.S. and own a firearm. This includes legal permanent residents.

“Photos are proof that Hawaii fires were caused by a “direct energy weapon assault on the people.”
PolitiFact says: Photos that claim to show the origins of Hawaii wildfires are not of recent events in that state. Both photos have been circulating online since 2018.
“They had to destroy ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and discredit it, and they had to tell everybody it’s not effective because if they had acknowledged that it’s effective … the whole $200 billion vaccine enterprise would have collapsed.”
FactCheck.org says: FDA authorization/approval for a treatment would not impact authorization/approval of a safe and effective vaccine. Several large, randomized controlled trials have found these drugs don't work for COVID-19.
“Tuberville lives in Auburn, Alabama, with his wife Suzanne.”
Washington Post says: Campaign finance reports and roperty documents indicate that his home is actually a $3 million, 4,000-square-foot beach house he owns in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla.
“1989 is the year the [autism] epidemic began. It’s a red line. And 1989 was the year the vaccine schedule exploded. That doesn’t mean that’s a correlation. It does not mean causation, but it is something that should be looked at.”
FactCheck.org says: It's not possible to pinpoint the start of the increase in autism diagnoses to 1989. One vaccine was added to the vaccine schedule in 1989. And extensive research has failed to find a link between autism and vaccines.
“El presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador canta “A mi manera” en una conferencia de prensa.”
“Vaccine companies get immunity “no matter how negligent they are … no matter how reckless the behavior, no matter how shoddy their manufacturing and testing process is.”
FactCheck.org says: Claims for manufacturing defects, negligence and fraud can be taken to court if one first goes through the vaccine compensation program and it either takes more than 240 days for a response or one rejects the decision.
“I guess they say that she [Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis] was after a certain gang and she ended up having an affair with the head of the gang or a gang member.”
FactCheck.org says: There is no evidence for Trump's claim, and the Trump campaign did not provide any support for it.
“Atlanta violence: Nearly 60% more murders so far this year.”
PolitiFact says: Ad wrongly blames Willis for increase in murders early in her tenure and omits that murders rose during the pandemic before she took office.
“A lot of your chain-food restaurants have been using (lab-grown meat) for years.”
PolitiFact says: Two companies, Good Meat and Upside Foods, in June received U.S. government approval to sell lab-grown chicken to consumers. Neither company has sold their products to fast-food chains.
“Anti-Biden chanting in Obama's audience”
“Avión Sukhoi Su-33 aterriza casi en vertical en un portaviones.”
“Douglass Mackey was convicted “because he made a meme in the 2016 election.”
PolitiFact says: In March, a federal jury convicted Douglass Mackey, a Florida social media influencer, for participating in a conspiracy to deprive people of their constitutional right to vote — not simply because he created a meme.
“FBI director Wray confirms Joe Biden is under criminal investigation for Ukrainian bribes by the U.S. attorney in Delaware then tries to backpedal.”
PolitiFact says: FBI Director Christopher Wray referred a legislator to the U.S attorney’s office in Delaware when asked whether President Joe Biden had received payments from Ukraine. He didn't say the president was being investigated.
“Says Gov. Ron DeSantis “opposed my China tariffs and he heartlessly opposed” $28 billion for farm relief, which was paid for by China.”
“The Trump administration “built nearly 500 miles of border wall.”
PolitiFact says: The total number of miles built during Trump’s administration varies depending on how it’s counted. One count, based on Customs and Border Protection data, puts the total at 458 miles. But only 52 miles were new.
