What people are talking about, and what the official record actually says about it. Each topic is a question, followed by the claim as it was made, the bills and rules and rulings that exist, who would have to act for it to become real, and what has changed since. Civibrief does not rate claims true or false. It shows you what is on the books and lets you weigh it. “Trending” here means attention on public datasets (Congress.gov, Wikipedia, search trends), never activity on Civibrief.

A claim from a rally, a post, a group chat. Tell us what you heard and, if you have it, where. Editors read every ask and turn the ones the record can answer into a topic on this page. Nothing you type here is published, and nothing identifies you.
