A photo of the Empire State Building lit up in yellow and blue was first shared in 2015 to recognize World Down Syndrome Day. But some social media posts are miscasting it amid Russia’s invasion into Ukraine. https://t.co/JXSiTxQte3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said his GOP plan calling for “all Americans” to “pay some income tax" isn’t a proposal to increase taxes. Experts wonder: What else could it be? https://t.co/wXWasz1aZv — PolitiTweet.org

A photo of a Ukrainian street sign filled with obscenities for Russian troops isn’t legitimate. The lettering was digitally altered and shared online by Ukrainian officials to encourage others to help dismantle street signs to confuse Russian troops. https://t.co/ipRVFmctTD https://t.co/ebMXC4JKqw — PolitiTweet.org

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has flouted international law more dramatically than almost any other military incursion since the end of World War II. Could Putin be tried for war crimes? https://t.co/rXvwolRWgk https://t.co/2TfU1cFKMl — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden's 2022 State of the Union address, fact-checked: https://t.co/c5iIYgY55O — PolitiTweet.org

PolitiFact @PolitiFact

Biden said that “by the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office.” This needs more details. The math and the history are correct, but this leaves out key context about exactly how big recent deficits have been. — PolitiTweet.org

PolitiFact @PolitiFact

Biden said Ex-President Trump’s $2 trillion plan benefited the top 1% of Americans. He has a point, but this needs more context. Every income group is set to pay less in taxes, at least in the legislation’s first few years of existence. https://t.co/KLMgAXrJhp — PolitiTweet.org

PolitiFact @PolitiFact

Biden said “Under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Not a single penny.” This is accurate. While critics have mentioned raising corporate taxes affects individuals, that is extremely difficult to figure out. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden said the U.S. created more jobs in 2021 than in any previous year. He’s right on raw numbers, but wrong using percentages. https://t.co/zqYZv0cTkU https://t.co/qVlwgXFaGF — PolitiTweet.org

Biden said that Putin would never gain the hearts and minds of the Iranian people. He misspoke. Prepared remarks for Biden’s speech distributed before he spoke showed that he meant to refer to the Ukrainian people. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden said gun manufacturers are the only industry in America that can’t be sued. False. There are six exemptions in the liability shield for civil suits, like if a gun is sold with knowledge it will be used for criminal purposes. https://t.co/NUk1pjBTBb — PolitiTweet.org

Biden said “Our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.” That's generally accurate according to a 2019 @wef report. (Singapore is #1) https://t.co/DIEDmQ5YXW — PolitiTweet.org

PolitiFact @PolitiFact

Biden said "Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked." This is accurate. Russia’s attack on Ukraine stands out as an unusually stark violation of the rules of the post-World War II era. — PolitiTweet.org

We fact-checked several claims — and addressed his flub of the word "Ukrainian" — that Biden made about foreign policy, the state of the U.S. economy, and arguments he made for a new "unity agenda." Thread below, read the full report here >> https://t.co/c5iIYgY55O — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds agreed with Biden, saying the state of the union is good because of its people. And, that was it. The rest of GOP rebuttal to Biden’s #SOTU2022 was a sharp critique of the president’s performance and policy. @politifactiowa https://t.co/eWDtj3CsYn — PolitiTweet.org
