Data Check
Sample entriesWhen a public claim quotes data, we pull the official numbers and show them next to it - no spin, no name-calling, sources always linked. Findings come in three flavors: Matches the data, Needs context, and Doesn't match the data.
No claims match your search - try fewer words, or clear the filters.
Crime Trends
Sample data
Rates per 100,000 people, FBI Uniform Crime Reporting estimates. We show trends and state-vs-national context only - the FBI advises against ranking states or cities, and so do we.

Energy Costs

Climate & Disasters
Sample dataGlobal storm, wildfire, and disaster data. Cyclone counts come straight from NOAA's worldwide storm archive, the record every national weather agency feeds into. The wildfire and disaster cards need free keys we haven't installed yet - they say so and stay empty until then, rather than showing made-up numbers.

Human Well-being
Sample dataHow people around the world are actually doing: how long they live, whether they have enough to eat and drink, whether their children survive, whether they have housing. Live from the WHO and the World Bank; the housing card is curated by hand from OECD tables. Where countries measure things differently, we say so next to the chart.
