Today's edition is sponsored once again by the 1440 newsletter! They told us they are getting some great feedback from Snopes readers who have signed up.

1440 has built up a newsletter with nearly 5 million readers with the goal of offering a nonpartisan, unbiased daily view of the news. I feel we have a similar mission, which is why I originally asked 1440 to sponsor our newsletter. I'm glad to see they are happy, along with our readers who joined the 1440 newsletter.

You'll notice any links you click on in today's newsletter to Snopes have fewer ads thanks to this sponsorship. Consider trying out the free 1440 newsletter to round out your inbox with an unbiased look at the news.

Social media users speculated that Trump moved yesterday's Cabinet meeting from Camp David to the White House for health-related reasons after he cited "possible bad weather conditions."

We wrote an article about 1440 in early 2024, after readers asked us if the newsletter was legitimate. We found that 1440's newsletter generally sticks to the facts and does not favor one political leaning over another. Two years later, 1440 is sponsoring our newsletter and getting great results from Snopes' audience.
