About

magashmaga is a fact-checking project that focuses on claims made by Donald Trump, members of his administration, and prominent figures aligned with the MAGA political movement.

We chose this focus because these figures hold or seek significant political power and because existing generalist fact-checkers cannot give every claim the time it deserves. We don't think the answer to misinformation is more misinformation in the opposite direction. We think the answer is patient, primary-sourced, public-facing fact-checking, applied to the people whose words shape policy and public belief the most.

Who runs this

[Replace this section with the names of the editors who own decisions on this site. Transparency about who is making editorial calls is itself a form of credibility. If you operate under a pseudonym for safety reasons, explain that here.]

How decisions are made

One human editor reviews every fact-check before it is published. That editor's name is recorded in our internal audit log and shown on each fact-check page. Drafts are produced with the assistance of a large language model; verification of every source is the editor's responsibility. See methodology for details.

How this site is funded

Funding sources are disclosed on the Funding page. We do not accept funding from political campaigns, candidates, party committees, PACs, or 501(c)(4)s aligned with any candidate or party.
