  • Jan 2019 - Present

  With a specific focus on Congress and climate change, each day I bring the fact-checking mindset to the statements of politicians, pundits and others who aim to influence public policy. I ask two questions of every claim: What objective evidence would prove it accurate? What evidence would prove it less than accurate? In the end, we share all our sources with full transparency. You might not agree with our rating, but you will see how we got there.
