FEATURED FACT
Here, we'll highlight one fact (just one!) that everyone should know, pulled from one of our stories. Shouldn't be one of the stories used in the previous slots. Ideally about 260 characters. Here's a link to the related story that will surely have more than just one fact ([link removed]) .

Reader: Did [President Joe] Biden make 10 gaffes in the Detroit speech, later corrected by the White House?

FactCheck.org Director Eugene Kiely: The Biden White House has made it a habit to correct transcripts when the president makes a misstatement. In his May 19 speech at the convention center in Detroit, there were nine instances in which the White House crossed out the president spoken words and replaced them with the accurate word.

Here they are:

And when I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the <strike>pandemic</strike> [recession], and what happened was Barack said to me, “Go to Detroit and help fix it.”

Folks, I’m humbled to receive this organization [award], which defines the character and consequence of what we do.

Look, folks, I just came from Atlanta, where I delivered a commencement at Morehouse College. (Applause.) It was truly inspiresing [inspiring]: over 400 young Black men who will do extraordinary things.

I protected and expanded the Affordable Care Act, saving millions of families $800,000 in prem- — $8,000 [$800] in — a year in premiums.

We’re increasing access to capital to start business and loans to buy homes. We’re cracking down on corporate landlords who [to] keep rents down.

He brags about getting Roe v. Wade overturned. He not only denies reproductive freedom but worsens the mortality rate for Black moms, who have [are] nearly three times more likely to die from pregnancy complications than a white woman.

Just listen to him. He calls the irrectionists [insurrectionists] who stormed Capitol Hill “patriots.”

But that’s not Donald Trump. Donald Trump has said, if he loses again in November, there will be, quote, “bloodshed” [“bloodbath”].

Earlier this month, I posthumously awarded Medgar Evers the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian honor. (Applause.) His spirit endures. The NAAC [NAACP] spirit endures.


** Wrapping Up
------------------------------------------------------------

Here's what else we've got for you this week:
* "Misleading Claims on Well-Known Rare Risk of AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine ([link removed]) ": A rare risk of dangerous blood clots associated with the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine was identified and reported in early 2021. This month, the company announced it was pulling the vaccine off the market globally, citing a decline in demand. Social media posts misleadingly linked the decision to the company having “admitted” the rare side effect “for the first time” in court documents and used it to impugn all vaccines.
* "Trump’s Wrong: Gun Owners More Likely to Vote ([link removed]) ": In a speech at a National Rifle Association convention, former President Donald Trump deceptively stoked fears that if President Joe Biden is reelected, the government will be “coming for your guns.” Biden has advocated a ban on so-called assault weapons, but he has not proposed confiscating ones currently owned. Trump followed it up by claiming that gun owners don’t vote as often as non-gun owners. That’s wrong.
* "Biden’s ‘Buy America’ Spin ([link removed]) ": President Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed that past presidents, including his predecessor, have “ignored” or “failed to uphold” laws requiring that federal government money be used to purchase only U.S. materials or products. Biden has expanded and emphasized such requirements, but we found no indication other presidents didn’t abide by the laws on the books during their tenures.
* "Trump Distorts New Regulation Extending ‘Obamacare’ to DACA Recipients ([link removed]) ": A new Biden administration rule will make recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals eligible to obtain health insurance plans established by the Affordable Care Act. But former President Donald Trump has mischaracterized the regulation, claiming that it is “giving Obamacare and all free government health care to illegal aliens.”
* "Partisans Distort Proposed MOMS Act and Website for Pregnancy Resources ([link removed]) ": Republican Sen. Katie Britt has introduced a bill that would create a government website to help connect pregnant people with resources, excluding abortion services. Some Democrats and partisan websites have misleadingly claimed the proposed law would create a federal database of pregnant people. The bill doesn’t require users to provide any personal information.
* "Social Media Posts Circulate Altered Image of Donald Trump, Stormy Daniels ([link removed]) ": Adult film star Stormy Daniels recently testified at the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump, who is charged with falsifying records during his 2016 campaign to conceal an affair with Daniels. Social media posts falsely claim to show evidence of the affair by sharing a fake, digitally altered photo of Donald and Melania Trump with Daniels.

Y lo que publicamos en español ([link removed]) (English versions are accessible in each story):
* "HED HED HED HED HED ([link removed]) ": Donec aliquet lectus lectus. Vestibulum non sem nec arcu dictum pellentesque vitae sed mauris. Curabitur consequat neque dui, sed scelerisque sapien ornare ac. Donec pharetra tincidunt mauris sed consectetur. Ut molestie egestas arcu.
