Was the 2020 election stolen? No, the 2020 U.S. presidential election was not stolen. Multiple independent investigations, court rulings, and reports—including those authored by prominent conservatives and state governors—found no substantial evidence of widespread fraud or irregularities that would have changed the outcome of the election[1][2][5]. Is crime in Washington, D.C., totally out of control? Crime in Washington, D.C. is not "totally out of control," but there has been significant concern about crime rates, leading to increased federal intervention and public attention[1]. Nationally, both the FBI and DOJ report substantial declines in violent crime, homicides, and other serious offenses through 2024—though certain measures remain higher than pre-pandemic levels[2][3][4][5]. Are tariffs a tax on American people? Tariffs are a type of tax imposed on imported goods, and their cost is typically passed on to American consumers through higher prices. Most economists and tax experts agree that although tariffs are charged to importers, the increased costs are routinely absorbed by businesses and ultimately by consumers in the form of higher retail prices[2][4][3]. This results in tariffs functioning as an indirect tax on Americans. What happened on January 6, 2021? On January 6, 2021, a large group of supporters of then-President Donald Trump breached the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., disrupting the formal certification of the 2020 presidential election results by Congress[1][2]. The event, commonly referred to as the January 6 Capitol riot or insurrection, resulted in violence, deaths, extensive investigations, and significant political fallout, including a second impeachment of President Trump[1][2].
