Our only agenda is to publish the truth so you can be an informed participant in democracy.
We need your help.
The Burnt Orange Report, which started in 2003, is a pro-Democratic Party Texas political blog. In its self-description, it says its writers include institutional leaders, political consultants, elected officials, lobbyists and concerned Texans.
Fact-checking journalism is the heart of PolitiFact. Our core principles are independence, transparency, fairness, thorough reporting and clear writing. The reason we publish is to give citizens the information they need to govern themselves in a democracy.
In a world of wild talk and fake news, help us stand up for the facts.
