Searching online and in court case databases, we found no news articles, reports or warrants to corroborate that Hunter Biden is in custody. John F. Kennedy, Jr, the source cited in the Facebook post claiming so, died in a plane crash in 1999. https://t.co/HqC4DxKBpK — PolitiTweet.org

People are sharing an image of Joe Biden leaving for Europe on March 23, claiming the leafy trees behind him prove it's an old photo. But those trees are southern magnolias, and they have leaves year round. https://t.co/Ff5WGXS2Bl — PolitiTweet.org

Ketanji Brown Jackson was summarizing a 2012 report concerning federal sentencing guidelines for child pornography, not referencing her own prior rulings like a viral video suggested. She wasn't arguing child pornography isn’t as bad if it’s viewed online. https://t.co/4o2fGTRx2q — PolitiTweet.org

A cross visible on some of Zelensky’s military green T-shirts is not a Nazi cross symbol. It represents the official emblem of Ukraine’s armed forces and includes the country’s coat of arms in the center. https://t.co/Krcy4CbLqP — PolitiTweet.org

As a law student in 1996, Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote an article for the Harvard Law Review questioning the legality of sex offender registries. Conservative radio host Lars Larson didn't provide recent evidence of Jackson’s stance on the issue. https://t.co/MUsFMF34Vd — PolitiTweet.org

Conservative radio host Lars Larson excluded the context of an article Jackson wrote decades ago as a law student. She did not directly come out against the registries, but suggested that courts establish a framework to evaluate such requirements. https://t.co/nipo47s6qu — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers did give Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin $2.4 million in COVID relief money. But those funds aren’t being used to fund abortions. The money is aimed at reducing health inequities that have been exacerbated by the pandemic. https://t.co/s9mlfaitce — PolitiTweet.org
