FACT CHECK: Circulating Marcos ‘medical report’ is fake

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/fact-check/circulating-fake-medical-report-ferdinand-marcos-jr/

<p><strong>Claim:</strong> A photo circulating online shows the medical test results of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.</p>

<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-rating-false"><strong>Rating: FALSE</strong></h5>

<p><strong>Why we fact-checked this: </strong>The photo of the alleged medical document contains the letterhead of St. Luke’s Medical Center along with Marcos’ biographical information. It claims to show the President’s test results and a diagnosis of “severe sigmoid diverticulitis.”</p>

<p>The photo can be found circulating in several social media posts on January 28 and is falsely regarded as genuine, as can be seen in the following posts:</p>

FACT CHECK: Duterte did not leave ICC detention for one hour; photo is AI-generated

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/fact-check/rodrigo-duterte-not-leave-icc-detention-one-hour-photo-ai-generated/

<p><strong>Claim:</strong> Former president Rodrigo Duterte was allowed to leave the International Criminal Court (ICC) detention center for an hour to be with his family, as seen in a photo of him and his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte.</p>

<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-rating-false"><strong>Rating: FALSE</strong></h5>

<p><strong>Why we fact-checked this:</strong> Viral Facebook posts from “Boss Dada” and “Explore Unseen Travel PH” that make the claim have received a combined 36,000 reactions, 3,200 comments, and 800 shares as of writing.</p>

<p>The image in the post shows the Vice President with her arm around her father, who was pictured looking noticeably thinner and sporting long hair.</p>

<p>According to the post’s caption, the Vice President looked happy because her father was permitted to temporarily leave the ICC detention center for “one hour” to be with his family. The post adds that this was done as part of humanitarian considerations for the detained former president while legal proceedings against him continue.</p>

#factCheck [Heritage Foundation / Federalist Nazi Society] Whitehouse spokespuppets are saying that Minnesota officials withhold detained immigrants from ICE. Is that true?

Claim by Don, and other administration henchmen:
Minnesota officials are withholding detained immigrants from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and refusing to cooperate with ICE.

PolitiFact rating: Mostly False
Minnesota state prisons *do* cooperate with ICE, and honor 'detainers'; while Minneapolis and some counties limit cooperation under sanctuary-style policies that hold to the due process requirements of constitutional democracy, state officials do *not* block ICE transfers, and federal claims about large numbers of those illegitimate abduction orders being withheld are unsupported or exaggerated; a lie to prop up the narrative that the DHS militants are involved in "law enforcement" actions.

[The rating is generous to the fascists.]

#factcheck The article has the facts regarding “ Donald Trump held his first Cabinet meeting of 2026 on Thursday, focusing on the economy, housing, energy, health initiatives and drug prices.
But while he painted a rosy picture of his administration's accomplishments, some of his boasts —- and that of other officials
— were off the mark. “ https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-trump-cabinet-economy-housing-energy-health-california-f4b4fb985300724a7e717863626e5506

Here's how to fight back. First, do a pre-mortem before decisions. Ask how bias could ruin your thinking. Next, find someone who disagrees with you. Listen before arguing. Finally, use simple checklists for common biases like confirmation bias or overconfidence.

The hard truth? If you think bias doesn't affect you, that's when you're most vulnerable.
