We’re PolitiFact, the largest political fact-checking newsroom in the United States. Ask us anything!

Have you read a PolitiFact fact-check lately? Some recent hits from r/politics were a Beto O'Rourke claim that he doesn't take "a dime of PAC money" and a Sarah Sanders exaggeration comparing job growth under Obama and Trump. And who could forget when Rudy Giuliani said there were 63 murders in Chicago over a weekend? (Pants on Fire - that's 5x the real number). Midterms are around the corner and we're revving into high gear.

But what is PolitiFact's process? And how do we pick what to check? And how are we keeping up with state midterm races in addition to the breakneck national news cycle. Executive Director Aaron Sharockman and fact-checker Jon Greenberg are available to answer all those questions and more..
