THE RECORD, RECONSTRUCTED.
We follow the evidence behind the headlines—separating political claims from the public record.

/ 01 — FIELD NOTES
Claims move fast. The evidence stays on the record.
Medicare’s first negotiated prices took effect in 2026. CMS estimated $1.5 billion in annual out-of-pocket savings for beneficiaries and $6 billion in Medicare savings across the first 10 drugs.
By May 2024, federal transportation records showed nearly $454 billion announced and roughly 9,400 bridge-repair projects moving nationwide.
Marketplace selections reached 24.2 million for 2025—an all-time high and more than double the 2021 enrollment total.
/ 02 — THE METHOD
No spin. No selective clips. Just a transparent path from what was said to what the record shows.
We isolate the exact words, preserve their full context, and define what would make the claim true or false.
We find primary sources: legislation, official data, transcripts, filings, and full-length footage.
We compare the two, explain the gaps, and show our work so you can make the final call.
WH/ 03 — WHY THIS EXISTS
WHITE HOUSE: FACT CHECKED is an independent channel for people who want the source material—not another shouting match. We examine statements from the executive branch against public documents, data, and the historical record.
We are not affiliated with the White House, any administration, campaign, or political party.
