Concerns and questions are mounting following President Donald Trump's signing of an executive order to begin dismantling the Department of Education and shift control to the states. While the order initiates the process, it would take an act of Congress to completely shut the department down.

President Donald Trump campaigned in 2024 on lowering egg prices, which increased significantly toward the end of the term of his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

Where do prices stand now? What caused them to spike last year?

Key context is missing from a widely shared online claim about the proportion of social housing that foreigners occupy in Britain’s capital London.

One post on X, which received more than 1.9 million views, said: “48% of London’s social housing is occupied by people who are foreign.”

Published on March 11, it included a heat map appearing to show the proportion of foreigners in social housing in each London area. “This is morally wrong,” the post added. “We can’t be the social housing provider for the world.”

“A lot of people in Canada are liking becoming our beautiful, cherished 51st state. They’ll have to pay much lower taxes.”

“They [Canadians] wouldn’t be paying for these tariffs. They’d have much lower taxes if they were part of this great country.”

Legal experts say there is nothing to President Donald Trump’s claims that several of former President Joe Biden’s pardons are “VOID” because they were signed via autopen.

White House lawyers during the George W. Bush administration said the use of an autopen is perfectly legal, and constitutional scholars say that nothing in the Constitution even requires pardons to be signed anyway. And, they note, pardons cannot simply be overturned by a subsequent president.

Though Texas health officials have been unable to pinpoint the source of the measles outbreak that began in a Gaines County Mennonite community, there is no evidence connecting it to illegal immigration. AllSides highlights content from Gigafact, a network of newsrooms that respond to online claims.

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested by police in Manila on March 11 and was flown to The Hague, where he faces charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court.

A March 12 ICC press release said the court “found reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Duterte is individually responsible as an indirect co-perpetrator for the crime against humanity of murder, allegedly committed in the Philippines” between November 2011 and March 2019.  

As justification for deporting some immigrants in the country without due process, President Donald Trump said the United States is under invasion.

“Evidence irrefutably demonstrates that [Tren de Aragua] has invaded the United States,” a March 15 White House proclamation said. Tren de Aragua is a Venezuela-based gang with some US presence.

The return of astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore after an extended stay on the International Space Station has been the subject of competing claims about the actions of the Trump and Biden administrations in bringing them home.

White House adviser Elon Musk, whose SpaceX company aided the astronauts’ return, said he had offered last year to bring the two astronauts home much sooner but the Biden administration declined for “political reasons.” NASA and space experts, including the two astronauts themselves, dispute that the decision was based on politics.
