Each week, we cover a specific topic with a summary that distills the consensus truth. We then show our work and explain how we arrived at that summary. As new information emerges and the consensus shifts, we track these topics over time and follow up in future newsletters to hold ourselves accountable.

Our narratives are powered by The Record, a tool that lets users fact-check any claim on the internet and identify the most credible voices. You can click any truth score in our newsletter to see how it was calculated. If you disagree with a score, you can weigh in with your own opinion. Your ratings will influence the score, and you’ll earn more influence when you’re right. We built this product to find the truth, not to share our opinions or push an agenda. If you think one of the ratings is wrong, we want you to correct it.
