A Twitter fact check on claims made by the White House resulted in the Joe Biden administration deleting the tweet. The White House said that the largest increase in Social Security payments for a decade had been achieved “through President Biden’s leadership”.
Twitter adds context to certain political tweet and in this case clarified in a note that Social Security has simply risen in line with inflation, as is required by law. The Express reports that the White House quietly deleted the tweet.
