By BOOM FACT Check Team Claim: A video apparently showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling President Droupadi Murmu dark skinned is viral online.

Described as "the 26 words that created the internet," Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act catches a lot of flak for a piece of legislation that is largely responsible for online platforms' willingness to host discussion forums. In its absence, social media companies and message boards would likely return to the previous era of either allowing anybody to say anything, or else taking legal responsibility for every insult and slur posted on their platforms. That would probably mean the end of online discourse as we know it—which may be what happens if proposed bipartisan legislation "s...

If you made a list of all the reasons why federal borrowing has spiraled out of control in recent years, the utter failure of Congress to pass a true budget would certainly rank near, or at, the very top. Regular Reason readers know this fact well: Since 1996, Congress has never—yes, not even once—passed a budget on time and in full. It's probably not a coincidence that the late '90s were also the last time the federal budget was anywhere close to balancing. In place of a complete budget, Congress has for decades relied upon continuing resolutions and omnibus bills. Usually, those become "must...

General skepticism toward qualified immunity, the legal doctrine that makes it difficult to sue rights-violating state and local government officials, has over the years brought together weird coalitions, to put it mildly, and challenged some of the stereotypes about traditional partisan fault lines. A federal judge this week floated one such alliance: If you hated Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court precedent that enshrined abortion as a constitutional right, then you should really disdain qualified immunity. Stay with me here. That connection came nestled in an opinion concerning a police detecti...

Washington (AFP) - Lawmakers from President Joe Biden's Democratic Party on Friday accused House Speaker Mike Johnson of disrespecting Africa after he did not invite Kenyan President William Ruto to address Congress during an upcoming Washington visit. Biden has invited the key US regional ally next week for a state visit -- the most prestigious trip a foreign leader can pay to Washington, which includes a ceremonial welcome and formal dinner at the White House. Leaders on state visits often also address joint sessions of Congress, but Johnson, a Republican, brushed aside an appeal for an invi...

By Hazel Gandhi Two videos purporting to show Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealing to the public to vote for the Congress in one and the Samajwadi Party in the other are being circulated online. BOOM found that the claims are false and videos of Modi's original speech have been digitally manipulated to make the false claim. The original video is old and shows Modi appealing to the crowd to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
