Twitter fact-checked President Donald Trump Tuesday for suggesting in a tweet recently that California’s mail-in ballots will be “substantially fraudulent.”
The company’s move comes amid criticism that Twitter is not doing enough to push back against what many critics believe to be misinformation.

He added that anyone “living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one. That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote. This will be a Rigged Election. No way!”

thedailycaller--2020-05-26--HUENNEKENS: Nancy Pelosi’s Multi-Billion Dollar Amnesty

By a vote of 208-199 , the House of Representatives passed HR 6800 , the HEROES Act .
The HEROES Act is an audacious piece of legislation , which would cost over $ 3 trillion .
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claims that this bill is needed to fight the economic and health crisis wrought by the coronavirus pandemic .
But this bill touches on far more than just ventilators and hospital funding .
Never the party to let a good crisis go to waste , House Democrats included scores of left-wing priorities .
That includes a massive amnesty and bailout @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four major provisions into this bill that does everything from shielding aliens from removal to giving them billions of dollars in stimulus money , directly from the Federal treasury .
If the HEROES Act became law , millions of illegal aliens would suddenly find themselves eligible for $ 1,200 stimulus checks .
And not just from the new HEROES Act legislation .
They could retroactively collect checks from the CARES Act as well — the stimulus package signed into law by President Trump in late April .
The Internal Revenue Service ( IRS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taxes by using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers ( ITIN ) .
It is remarkable enough that our government gives illegal aliens ITIN .
They will only lackadaisically enforce Federal immigration law , but they are more than eager to collect payroll taxes where they can from illegal aliens .
Democrats argue that these specific illegal aliens deserve stimulus checks .
These illegal aliens work and pay taxes , why shouldn ’ t they get stimulus checks ?
But the fact remains that they are living here and working here illegally .
Why on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aliens when we could spend that money on anything else ?
In 2015 , 4.35 million people paid taxes using an ITIN .
Many of those 4.35 are likely illegal aliens .
Even if half of those 4.35 million received stimulus checks from the HEROES Act – and retroactively from the CARES Act — our government would need to dole out $ 5.2 billion .
Billions of dollars in personal checks to illegal aliens is just the start of Speaker Pelosi ’ s stimulus plan .
Citing similar “ deferred action ” language @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into existence , Speaker Pelosi ’ s HEROES Act would prevent the removal of any illegal alien working in an “ essential ” industry .
Again , on the surface , this seems completely reasonable .
But the devil is in the details – who exactly qualifies as an employee in an essential industry ?
Speaker Pelosi ’ s bill cites an April 17 memorandum on critical industries issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ( CISA ) , a part of the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the CISA guidelines include anyone working in any part of the food industry , the construction sector , janitorial staff and other industries that employ illegal aliens .
The HEROES Act protects all of these workers from immigration enforcement .
Further , the unscrupulous employers who hire these illegal aliens get full immunity from prosecution for the “ hiring , employment , or continued employment ” of illegal aliens .
Millions of illegal aliens work in the agriculture , construction , janitorial and restaurant industries .
Often , these are the only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these illegal aliens .
Over 33 million Americans are out of jobs in these very industries .
Why would our Federal government make their job prospects worse by turning a blind eye to illegal aliens competing with them for these roles ?
Release of nearly all illegal aliens in ICE detention Speaker Pelosi ’ s bill would immediately require the Department of Homeland Security to review the files of all aliens in ICE detention and release only but the most dangerous of detainees .
The justification for this is that COVID-19 may spread @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a detention facility .
But there is little actual evidence that those in ICE detention face a greater risk of contracting the disease than the general public .
As of May 9 , there were 27,908 people in ICE detention .
Incredibly , only two people have died from coronavirus in Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) detention and there have been just 1,073 confirmed cases .
Art Arthur with the Center for Immigration Studies noted that this means places such as the Bronx and Rockland County in New York have significantly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does .
There is simply no evidence to support the claim that ICE detainees are not safe from the disease simply because they are in ICE detention .
Speaker Pelosi ’ s bill gives $ 300 million in local law enforcement funding , yet specifically protects sanctuary jurisdictions so that they can access this funding .
The Trump administration continues withholding some federal grant money to jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities .
Of course , Speaker Pelosi is beholden to her home state and allied jurisdictions — overwhelmingly Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
At the end of the day , the HEROES Act is trying to accomplish what decades of open borders activists could not — comprehensive immigration reform .
This bill has it all !
The release of tens of thousands of aliens in ICE detention .
Direct stimulus payments to illegal aliens .
And the cherry on top – deferred action for millions of illegal aliens working in “ critical ” industries .
Deferred action is an even more cowardly form of amnesty in that politicians sell it to the American people as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Just look at our “ temporary protected status ” ( TPS ) and “ deferred enforced departure ” ( DED ) programs .
This bill is not a serious proposal , but rather a laundry list of Nancy Pelosi ’ s utopian dreams .
That it includes such widespread provisions protecting illegal aliens is a shocking indication of the priorities of the House Democrats .
A few billion dollars and an amnesty to boot ?
The 33 million Americans out of work deserve better .

But this bill touches on far more than just ventilators and hospital funding. Never the party to let a good crisis go to waste, House Democrats included scores of left-wing priorities. That includes a massive amnesty and bailout for illegal aliens. House Democrats wrote four major provisions into this bill that does everything from shielding aliens from removal to giving them billions of dollars in stimulus money, directly from the Federal treasury.
Stimulus payments to illegal aliens
If the HEROES Act became law, millions of illegal aliens would suddenly find themselves eligible for $1,200 stimulus checks. And not just from the new HEROES Act legislation. They could retroactively collect checks from the CARES Act as well — the stimulus package signed into law by President Trump in late April.

Even if half of those 4.35 million received stimulus checks from the HEROES Act – and retroactively from the CARES Act — our government would need to dole out $5.2 billion.
De Facto Amnesty
Billions of dollars in personal checks to illegal aliens is just the start of Speaker Pelosi’s stimulus plan. Citing similar “deferred action” language used by President Obama to will DACA into existence, Speaker Pelosi’s HEROES Act would prevent the removal of any illegal alien working in an “essential” industry. Again, on the surface, this seems completely reasonable. But the devil is in the details – who exactly qualifies as an employee in an essential industry?
Speaker Pelosi’s bill cites an April 17 memorandum on critical industries issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In addition to medical staff and first responders, the CISA guidelines include anyone working in any part of the food industry, the construction sector, janitorial staff and other industries that employ illegal aliens. The HEROES Act protects all of these workers from immigration enforcement. Further, the unscrupulous employers who hire these illegal aliens get full immunity from prosecution for the “hiring, employment, or continued employment” of illegal aliens.
Millions of illegal aliens work in the agriculture, construction, janitorial and restaurant industries. Often, these are the only sectors and employers willing to risk hiring these illegal aliens. Over 33 million Americans are out of jobs in these very industries. Why would our Federal government make their job prospects worse by turning a blind eye to illegal aliens competing with them for these roles?
Release of nearly all illegal aliens in ICE detention
Speaker Pelosi’s bill would immediately require the Department of Homeland Security to review the files of all aliens in ICE detention and release only but the most dangerous of detainees. The justification for this is that COVID-19 may spread rapidly in a confined space such as a detention facility. But there is little actual evidence that those in ICE detention face a greater risk of contracting the disease than the general public.
As of May 9, there were 27,908 people in ICE detention. Incredibly, only two people have died from coronavirus in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention and there have been just 1,073 confirmed cases. Art Arthur with the Center for Immigration Studies noted that this means places such as the Bronx and Rockland County in New York have significantly higher rates of infection than ICE detention does. There is simply no evidence to support the claim that ICE detainees are not safe from the disease simply because they are in ICE detention.
Funding for sanctuary jurisdictions
Speaker Pelosi’s bill gives $300 million in local law enforcement funding, yet specifically protects sanctuary jurisdictions so that they can access this funding. The Trump administration continues withholding some federal grant money to jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Of course, Speaker Pelosi is beholden to her home state and allied jurisdictions — overwhelmingly Democrat — that passed these dangerous sanctuary laws.
At the end of the day, the HEROES Act is trying to accomplish what decades of open borders activists could not — comprehensive immigration reform. This bill has it all! The release of tens of thousands of aliens in ICE detention. Direct stimulus payments to illegal aliens. And the cherry on top – deferred action for millions of illegal aliens working in “critical” industries. Deferred action is an even more cowardly form of amnesty in that politicians sell it to the American people as temporary, only to indefinitely renew it. Just look at our “temporary protected status” (TPS) and “deferred enforced departure” (DED) programs.
This bill is not a serious proposal, but rather a laundry list of Nancy Pelosi’s utopian dreams. That it includes such widespread provisions protecting illegal aliens is a shocking indication of the priorities of the House Democrats. A few billion dollars and an amnesty to boot?

Despite economists ’ projections of a 22 % decline of newly built home sales between April and March , and an actual drop in sales of existing homes in March , prices continue to rise in the midst of a recession .
A dwindling supply , historically low interest rates and a moratorium on foreclosures of federally backed mortgages due to the CARES Act are all reasons why individuals are buying and prices are rising , according to AXIOS .

Despite economists’ projections of a 22% decline of newly built home sales between March and April, and an actual drop in sales of existing homes in March, prices continue to rise in the midst of a recession.
A dwindling supply, historically low interest rates and a moratorium on foreclosures of federally backed mortgages due to the CARES Act are all reasons why individuals are buying and prices are rising, according to Axios.
“Demand absolutely just got a kick in the gut, but at the same exact time, so did supply,” said Skylar Olsen, senior principal economist at Zillow Group, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Total listings of homes for sale have hit a five-year low, while the median listing price increased 1% from last year at $308,000, according to what Real-estate brokerage Redfin Corp. said to the Wall Street Journal. The Commerce Department’s new home sales report also showed that home sales increased in April despite coronavirus lockdown measures expected to stifle that number.

FACT CHECK: Did The Surgeon General Say Face Masks Can Make People Sick From ‘Prolonged Breathing Of CO2’?

A post shared on Facebook claims Surgeon General Jerome Adams said that healthy people are making themselves sick by wearing masks due to breathing exhaled carbon dioxide .
There is no evidence that Adams or the Surgeon General ’ s office made such a statement .
The use of cloth or surgical masks does not pose a carbon dioxide risk to people .
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) issued new guidance in April that recommended Americans wear face coverings in public to curb the transmission of the new coronavirus .
The Facebook post claims Adams @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breathing exhaled carbon dioxide can make them sick , saying , “ US Surgeon General says if you are healthy and wearing a mask , you are actually making yourself sick by prolonged breathing of co2.

A post shared on Facebook claims Surgeon General Jerome Adams said that healthy people are making themselves sick by wearing masks due to breathing exhaled carbon dioxide.
Verdict: False
There is no evidence that Adams or the Surgeon General’s office made such a statement. The use of cloth or surgical masks does not pose a carbon dioxide risk to people.
Fact Check:
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new guidance in April that recommended Americans wear face coverings in public to curb the transmission of the new coronavirus.
The Facebook post claims Adams advised healthy people against wearing masks because breathing exhaled carbon dioxide can make them sick, saying, “US Surgeon General says if you are healthy and wearing a mask, you are actually making yourself sick by prolonged breathing of co2.”
There is, however, no record of Adams making such a statement online. A search of his social media accounts didn’t turn up any similar remarks either. Had he said something to that effect, it likely would have been picked up by media outlets, yet none have reported on it.
“Surgeon General Adams has never issued such a warning,” a spokesperson for the surgeon general confirmed to the Daily Caller in an email. “We encourage anyone who has questions about cloth face coverings and how to wear them to consult the official CDC guidance.”
