The Promise File
Not every promise is a fact-check. We preserve the words, identify who has the power to deliver, set the deadline, and follow what actually happened.

What actually happened?
A slogan is not an outcome. This chain separates the original words from the government action and the measurable result.
Congress had to change the tax code.
The president could advocate for the change but could not deliver it alone.
A temporary senior deduction was enacted.
The 2025 law lowered taxes for some older taxpayers through a separate deduction.
Benefits can still be federally taxed.
The policy provided partial relief without fulfilling the literal promise.
Desk № 03 — Measurable record

The standard
A verdict is only as good as its receipts.
Capture the words
We preserve the narrowest fair quotation, date, venue, and full original context.
Define the claim
We separate measurable propositions from opinion, rhetoric, promises, and predictions.
Follow the evidence
Primary documents and official datasets come first. Contradictory evidence stays visible.
Show the work
Every verdict includes its reasoning, review date, sources, limitations, and correction history.
Desk № 07 — Change log
Corrections stay public.
A verdict can change when the evidence changes. We distinguish factual corrections from ordinary research additions.
0published factual corrections
No factual correction has been logged in this edition. When one is required, the original wording, replacement, reason and date will remain visible here.
