What it claims

Claims

  1. 1Can’t tellThe 1776 Live Club sweepstakes ends on December 18, 2026.The extracted claim faithfully matches the post's 'Ends 12/18/26' line, but no independent source confirms or contradicts the sweepstakes' end date as of 2026-10-19. The only sources mentioning it are repeated Bongino Show ads and podcast listings that echo the claimant's own text, which is circular and cannot corroborate it.9 sources →
  2. 2TrueThe Auburn Tigers defeated the Georgia Bulldogs in a football game this weekend.Auburn beat No. 1 Georgia 27-24 on Saturday, October 17, 2026, with Alex McPherson's 34-yard field goal as time expired. That was the weekend before the post on October 19, so the claim matches the passage and the record.8 sources →

    ▶ 1:34

  3. 3Can’t tellThe television program 60 Minutes used clips from The Dan Bongino Show.The only sources that mention 60 Minutes using a clip from The Dan Bongino Show are Bongino's own podcast and a low-credibility summary of his channel, which repeat the claimant's account. No authoritative source (CBS, 60 Minutes, or a fact-checker) confirms or disputes it, so the claim cannot be graded in either direction. The extraction is faithful to the post, which says '61 minutes' and was corrected to 60 in the post itself.5 sources →

    ▶ 2:37

  4. 4TrueZBiotics Pre-Alcohol is a genetically engineered probiotic drink.The claim that ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol is a genetically engineered probiotic drink is supported by the product page, which says the probiotic (Bacillus subtilis ZB183) was invented using genetic engineering and that the product is a beverage with a patented, genetically engineered probiotic. The only source on the product is the manufacturer's own page, so confidence is capped, and the post's stronger 'world's first' superlative is not checked here.4 sources →

    ▶ 3:53

  5. 5TrueZBiotics has sold more than 14 million bottles of its Pre-Alcohol product.The claim is supported as of 2026-09-15: sources from July 2026 report ZBiotics had sold more than 15 million Pre-Alcohol bottles, which is consistent with the claimed 'more than 14 million'. These figures are company-reported and unaudited, so confidence is moderate.7 sources →

    ▶ 4:15

  6. 6Can’t tellThe investigation into Ilhan Omar started under the Biden administration.The claim departs from the passage: the post says a "Democrat" administration without naming Biden, and its context points to Obama. The sources show the earliest probe began under Obama in 2016 (not Biden), the Biden-appointed U.S. attorney closed it in 2021, and a separate 2024 DoJ probe began under Biden, so the claim is unverifiable as extracted.7 sources →

    ▶ 6:54

  7. 7Can’t tellThe investigation into Ilhan Omar was authorized by a judge appointed by the Democratic party.The sources establish that a federal magistrate judge, Matthew Sharbaugh, approved the warrant for the search of Omar's home, but none says he was appointed by the Democratic Party. The only partisan links are a report that he donated to Democratic campaigns and clerked for an Obama-appointed judge, and those do not show who appointed him, so the claim's appointment element is not established either way. The post's phrase 'Democrat judge' is also an opinion-style label that the claim turns into a claim about appointment.6 sources →

    ▶ 7:00

  8. 8TrueThe FBI previously targeted Catholics and others.Multiple sources, including a DOJ Weaponization Working Group report, House Judiciary and Senate Judiciary releases, and an AP story on firings, show the FBI's Richmond office under the prior administration investigated Catholics and two priests based on their beliefs. The claim's 'and others' is vaguely supported, since sources describe the probe as also covering conservatives, but the core claim that the FBI previously targeted Catholics holds. The DOJ Inspector General found no evidence that anyone ordered investigations of Catholics because of religion, which adds nuance about intent but does not contradict that Catholics were targeted.5 sources →

    ▶ 10:33

  9. 9TrueElissa Slotkin stated she wants to focus on people who enabled Donald Trump and create a deterrence message to discourage young people from working for a Trump administration.Multiple sources, including CNN, Reuters-syndicated and Detroit News coverage, and Slotkin's own office, confirm she said at an Oct. 13, 2026 University of Chicago event that she wanted to pursue 'signature cases' against people who 'enabled' Trump and wanted a 'deterrence message' to discourage young graduates from joining the Trump administration. The claim matches the reported remarks, and the sources were checked as of the 2026-10-19 posting date.6 sources →

    ▶ 12:07

  10. 10TrueDonald Trump was charged with fraud against a bank in New York City.Sources show New York Attorney General Letitia James brought a civil fraud case in New York state court against Donald Trump, alleging he inflated his net worth to induce banks and insurers to lend and insure on better terms, and a judge ruled him liable. "Charged" fits a civil suit rather than a criminal indictment, and the separate criminal case was about falsified business records, not bank fraud.7 sources →

    ▶ 15:55

  11. 11TrueDonald Trump has been shot at.Multiple tier1 sources (Reuters, AP, FBI, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact) confirm Trump was shot at and wounded in the ear at the July 13, 2024 Butler rally, and that a Secret Service agent fired at an armed man near his West Palm Beach golf course on September 15, 2024. The claim matches the post's own reference to being 'shot at, almost shot at again' and is not contradicted by any source.7 sources →

    ▶ 17:18

  12. 12TrueDonald Trump has been mugshotted, tried, fined, and shot.The sources support the mugshot (Fulton County, August 2023), the criminal trial (hush-money conviction), and being shot (July 2024 assassination attempt, with a bullet striking his ear). No source addresses a fine, so that element is unconfirmed rather than contradicted, and the extraction faithfully reflects the passage.8 sources →

    ▶ 20:52

  13. 13MixedPatriot Mobile offers premium 5G coverage on three major U.S. networks, unlimited data, and international calling to over 200 countries.Patriot Mobile's premium priority coverage on all three major networks is supported by its plans page and a 2026 review, but the claimed unlimited data is contradicted by capped data allotments on its plans, and the 200-country calling figure is not confirmed (one source cites 70+ countries). The Carol Swain post repeating all the claims is promotional and circular, so it adds no corroboration. Judged as of 2026-10-19 from these sources.4 sources →

    ▶ 22:38

  14. 14TrueArticle 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make laws regulating elections.Article I, Section 4 (the Elections Clause) expressly gives Congress the power to "make or alter" the regulations for holding elections for Senators and Representatives, so the core assertion holds. The sources limit that power to federal elections and say Congress has no general authority over state and local elections, so the claim is accurate only with that scope. The extraction is faithful to the post, which makes the same unqualified statement.4 sources →

    ▶ 25:43

  15. 15TrueDonald Trump signed two executive orders attempting to create new federal voting rules.Sources confirm Trump signed two election executive orders: one in March 2025 on proof of citizenship and mail ballot deadlines, and one on March 31, 2026 (EO 14399) creating a federal citizenship list and restricting mail ballots, which AP calls his second attempt to set national election rules. Courts have blocked parts of both orders, but that does not contradict the claim that he signed them to create new federal voting rules.8 sources →

    ▶ 26:00

  16. 16TrueThere are over 1,600 voter fraud cases currently under investigation.The claim matches the post's own words and is supported by government figures: HSI and DHS officials reported about 1,600 voter-fraud cases under investigation in September 2026, and CNN cites 1,620 open investigations as of mid-September. No source shows a different count on 2026-10-19, though the figure dates from mid-September and the cases are investigations, not confirmed fraud.6 sources →

    ▶ 28:46

  17. 17TrueNew Jersey election officials reported an error resulting in 6,600 non-citizens being registered to vote.Multiple tier1 sources confirm that New Jersey state officials, led by Gov. Mikie Sherrill, reported a Motor Vehicle Commission software error that led to about 6,600 noncitizens being registered to vote in 2023-2024. The claim's attribution to 'election officials' is a loose label for the governor and state administration, not a contradiction, and the post's 'governor says' framing is faithfully captured.6 sources →

    ▶ 29:21

  18. 18TrueApproximately 400 non-citizens cast ballots in New Jersey elections.Multiple tier1 and tier2 sources (AP, Reuters, Washington Post, NBC, CNN, Politico, NPR) report Gov. Mikie Sherrill saying fewer than 400 (nearly 400) of about 6,600 erroneously registered noncitizens cast ballots in New Jersey elections from 2023-2024. The claim's 'approximately 400' matches the reported figure, and the FactCheck.org and Snopes coverage confirms the governor's number without contradicting it, though Snopes notes no independent evidence backs the figure beyond the governor's preliminary analysis.7 sources →

    ▶ 29:21

  19. 19MixedNon-citizens and aliens have been voting in U.S. elections for the past four years.Literally, the claim that some non-citizens have voted in recent U.S. elections is supported: DOJ charged nine Pennsylvania non-citizens with illegally voting in the 2022 and 2024 elections, and New Jersey officials said fewer than 400 ballots were cast by erroneously registered non-citizens. On the post's intended reading, that it has been happening at scale ("millions" flooded in and "we've proven" widespread voting), fact-checkers and experts contradict it, finding documented cases to be very small and not shown to change outcomes. The extraction also drops the post's "millions" framing, so the claim as extracted is narrower than the post's own point.8 sources →

    ▶ 31:10

  20. 20MixedSenator Dick Durbin has opposed efforts to clean voter rolls.Sources show Durbin repeatedly opposing the Trump administration's voter-roll purge campaigns, DOJ demands for state voter data, and the SAVE database, calling them unlawful or risky to eligible voters. The claim's broad wording ('opposed efforts to clean voter rolls') leans on a contested reading, since the administration frames these efforts as cleaning and Durbin frames them as wrongful purges, and no source has him opposing lawful list maintenance. The claim also departs slightly from the post, which asserted that Durbin wants 'voter fraud,' and the post's own claim is not corroborated by the sources.5 sources →

    ▶ 31:27

  21. 21TrueAl Sayed proposed amending the Second Amendment to replace the right to bear arms with a right to health care.Multiple outlets, including CNN's KFile (via HuffPost, tier2) and The Reload, which reviewed the transcript of an April 2023 YouTube video, report El-Sayed saying the Second Amendment's right to bear arms should be replaced with a right to health care. The campaign said the old comments do not reflect his current beliefs but did not deny making them, and the claim's wording matches the quoted remark; the sources note the remark was made after the Covenant School shooting and that it was later made private.5 sources →

    ▶ 34:05

  22. 22TrueThe Bill of Rights is a document of negative liberties that restricts the government from violating specific rights.Multiple sources, including the National Archives' summary of the Bill of Rights and scholarly/legal analyses (Posner-quoted negative liberties, UChicago and NCCU law reviews), establish that the Bill of Rights restricts government action rather than granting positive entitlements. The claim matches the post's core point; the post's own 'negative liberties' framing is consistent with the sources, and the claim's wording is a faithful paraphrase of the passage.5 sources →

    ▶ 35:55

  23. 23TrueEl Sayed suggested a tweak to the Constitution that would eliminate the Second Amendment.CNN and The Reload both quote El-Sayed's April 2023 video asking, "What if we tweaked the Constitution, amended the amendment, and instead of the right to bear arms, we change it to the right to have health care?" That matches the claim's core: he floated a constitutional tweak that would eliminate the Second Amendment's right to bear arms. The campaign's response that he respects the Second Amendment does not contradict the quoted proposal.2 sources →

    ▶ 37:29

  24. 24Can’t tell40% of gun-owning Michiganders would oppose the elimination of the Second Amendment.No source measures how Michigan gun owners would respond to eliminating the Second Amendment, so the 40% figure is not corroborated. The only source with the 40% figure is Jonathan Turley's October 15, 2026 post repeating it, which is circular, and the EPIC-MRA polls cover general gun-control attitudes rather than this question.5 sources →

    ▶ 37:39

  25. 25FalseElissa Slotkin stated that she wants to put people in jail for supporting the MAGA agenda.Slotkin's actual remarks at the University of Chicago concerned pursuing corruption cases against officials who enabled Trump and deterring young people from joining the administration; no source reports her saying she wants to jail people for supporting the MAGA agenda. The post's claim is a distortion of her words, and the extraction faithfully reflects the post's wording.6 sources →

    ▶ 37:58

  26. 26MixedThe Democratic Party is running on a Medicare for All bill that would make private health insurance illegal.Sources support that Sanders' Medicare for All bill would make duplicative private coverage unlawful and would effectively outlaw most private insurance, and that some Democratic candidates embrace it. However, FactCheck.org notes private insurers could still sell supplemental coverage (e.g., cosmetic care), so 'private health insurance illegal' overstates the bill, and the sources show a bill backed by some Democrats rather than the party as a whole running on it. The claim departs slightly from the passage's wording on scope but not on referent.6 sources →

    ▶ 41:29

  27. 27MixedDemocratic socialist members of the House and Senate are pressuring Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to bring a Medicare for All bill to the floor for a vote.Sources support that DSA-aligned progressives, most of them candidates not yet in office, were conditioning support for Jeffries on a Medicare for All floor vote, as of October 2026. No source reports pressure on Schumer or any Senate-side effort, and the claim's description of them as current 'members' conflicts with sources describing them as incoming or not yet elected.5 sources →

    ▶ 44:00

  28. 28TrueMedicare for All would replace existing public and private health insurance with a single universal insurance program operated by the federal government.The claim matches the plan as described in the bill text and in multiple fact-checks and analyses: Medicare for All would replace the existing public-private financing system with one federally operated universal program. Private insurance would be restricted to supplemental coverage rather than abolished outright, and the post's wording 'system for financing health care' was faithfully paraphrased as 'health insurance', so this does not change the verdict. Describes a proposal as of 2026-10-19, not an enacted law.8 sources →

    ▶ 45:42

  29. 29TrueMedicare for All would eliminate Medicaid for low-income households.Multiple sources state that Medicare for All would replace Medicaid, including PolitiFact's explanation of Sanders' bill and KFF's analysis that a Medicare-for-All plan would eliminate most or all of Medicaid. The claim matches the passage's wording, and the sources do not contradict it; the House Budget Committee release repeats the claim nearly verbatim, so it adds little independent weight.4 sources →

    ▶ 46:22

  30. 30TrueKash Patel is the Director of the FBI.Multiple sources (FBI.gov, DOJ, Wikipedia incumbent listing, Britannica) confirm Kash Patel became FBI Director in February 2025 and was the incumbent as of the claim date of 2026-10-19; the extraction faithfully reflects the post's reference to Patel as FBI director. Some sources are older or lower-rated, but the primary FBI source directly supports the claim.4 sources →

    ▶ 48:55

  31. 31TrueOperation Viper was a federal operation conducted in Memphis, Tennessee.Multiple primary and tier1 sources (a Senator's official release, a Tennessee Governor statement, and WSMV reporting citing FBI-backed operations) confirm that Operation Viper was an FBI-led federal operation with U.S. Marshals, ATF, and DEA involvement conducted in Memphis, Tennessee. The claim's wording matches the post's passage, which describes it as a federal effort in Memphis.4 sources →

    ▶ 49:54

  32. 32FalseThe federal task force in Memphis, Tennessee, has made more arrests for murders than the number of actual murders that have occurred.The sources give 144 task-force homicide arrests through Oct. 15, 2026, but report 184 to 235 Memphis murders in 2025 alone, which suggests murders outnumbered arrests over the period. No source states the total murders during the task force's run, and AG Blanche's interview says the opposite, so this rests on inference and the verdict is held at moderate confidence.7 sources →

    ▶ 50:07

  33. 33TrueThe federal task force in Memphis is arresting someone wanted on a murder charge every two and a half days.The claim matches the post's wording and the task force's own records. A cumulative count of 128 homicide arrests through Sept. 10, 2026 (about 345 days after Oct. 1, 2025) works out to roughly one every 2.7 days, close to the claimed 2.5 days. Later U.S. Marshals releases show further murder-charge arrests, so the rate held as of Oct. 19, though the derived figure is an estimate rather than a stated rate.5 sources →

    ▶ 50:15

  34. 34MixedOverall crime in Memphis is at a 25-year low, down 34% from last year.The 25-year-low part of the claim is supported by several sources, but the 34% figure depends on which measure is used: the Washington Examiner reports Blanche citing 34%, the White House cites about 36%, city data cited by FactCheck.org shows about 39%, and Crime Commission data cited by TBA shows 21.2% through September. The claim's 34% falls within that range, so the verdict is mixed rather than true. The claim is extracted faithfully from the post, which is about Memphis, and the post dates to 2026-10-19.8 sources →

    ▶ 50:26

  35. 35MixedMurders in Memphis are down 33%, sexual assaults down 25%, motor vehicle thefts down 54%, robberies down 40%, and aggravated assaults down 24%.The five percentages match Attorney General Blanche's October 16, 2026 remarks, which the claim repeats, but Memphis Report says Blanche gave no period or data set and the DOJ published no written figures. Other records show the same direction with figures in a similar range (White House/city data in September: murder -36%, sexual assault -28%, vehicle theft -57%, robbery -42%, aggravated assault -26%; MPD Q2 2026 and FactCheck.org show different magnitudes), so the claim's figures fall within a range of competing estimates. The extraction faithfully matches the passage, and the October 27 weekly data showing some increases covers a short window after the claim date and does not directly contradict the year-to-date figures.Minor detail. The sources confirm the claim; only a minor detail differs, such as a name's spelling, a title's wording or a rounding.6 sources →

    ▶ 50:40

  36. 36TrueLarry Hogan won the governorship of Maryland twice as a Republican.Multiple sources confirm Larry Hogan won Maryland's governorship twice, in 2014 and 2018, both as a Republican. The post's present-tense 'wins' is casual phrasing for his two electoral wins, and the claim faithfully reflects the passage.5 sources →

    ▶ 54:40

  37. 37TrueJohn Ossoff and Raphael Warnock were elected to the Senate in Georgia.Multiple tier1 and tier2 sources (AP, BBC/Reuters, PBS, FactCheck.org, Congressional Directory) confirm that Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock won Georgia's U.S. Senate runoffs on January 5, 2021 and were elected to the Senate. The post's spelling 'Rafael Warneck' is a minor misspelling of Raphael Warnock and does not change the referent; the claim faithfully reflects the passage.5 sources →

    ▶ 54:47

  38. 38TrueKalshi is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).The claim is a faithful paraphrase of the post ('Kalshi is CFTC regulated') and is supported as of 2026-10-19 by a CFTC primary order and an AP report describing Kalshi as a U.S.-regulated exchange. Later Utah state charges (2026-10-28) challenge Kalshi's conduct in Utah but do not change its CFTC regulatory status.5 sources →

    ▶ 56:07

  39. 39TrueJames Talarico stated in an interview with NewsNation that he supports an assault weapons ban and a large magazine ban.Multiple sources quote the same NewsNation interview in which Talarico, asked whether he could vote for an assault weapons or large-capacity magazine ban, said 'Depending on the details of the legislation, yes,' and, asked whether an assault weapons ban was still on the table, said 'Absolutely.' The support is conditional and hedged, but no source contradicts the core assertion; the sources are mostly partisan or unrated, so confidence is capped.5 sources →

    ▶ 57:57

  40. 40TrueTroy Jackson is running for the U.S. Senate against Susan Collins in Maine.Multiple tier1 and tier2 sources (AP, Reuters, Washington Post, NYT) confirm Troy Jackson is the Democratic nominee running against Republican Sen. Susan Collins for U.S. Senate in Maine, and the claim matches the passage's own wording. Sources dated before and after 2026-10-19 agree this was the state of affairs on that date.5 sources →

    ▶ 59:36

  41. 41TrueSusan Collins is a candidate in the Senate election representing Maine.Multiple tier1 and other sources published before the 2026-10-19 posting date (AP Oct 7, FEC record of Collins as Republican incumbent Maine Senate candidate, and others) show Susan Collins as the Republican candidate for the Maine U.S. Senate seat, running against Democrat Troy Jackson; the claim is accurate as of the posting date and remains accurate at the November 2 check, with the election on November 3 still pending.3 sources →

    ▶ 59:49

  42. 42TrueMike Rogers is a candidate for the United States Senate in Michigan.Multiple tier-1 and tier-2 sources (AP, C-SPAN, NBC, CBS, Michigan Daily, Freep) confirm Mike Rogers was the Republican nominee/candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan in the 2026 race against Abdul El-Sayed, and this remained true on 2026-08-05 as the post date; the claim faithfully reflects the passage's reference to Rogers as a Senate contender.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:02:05

  43. 43MixedThe Muslim Brotherhood is banned in 5 Muslim countries.The claim's figure of five Muslim countries falls within the range the sources give, but the count depends on whether one counts outright bans or terrorist designations. Sources name Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain as banning or designating the group, Jordan as banning it in April 2025, and Syria (and Libya to some extent) in other accounts, while one source counts seven Muslim-majority nations. The extracted claim is a faithful paraphrase of the post's 'banned in five Muslim countries,' and the sources do not state the figure five directly.7 sources →

    ▶ 1:03:01

  44. 44TrueAngie Nixon is a candidate for office in Florida.Multiple reliable sources (PolitiFact/CBS Miami coverage, CBS Face the Nation transcript, AP results page, Florida Division of Elections candidate record) confirm Angie Nixon was a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Florida as of October 2026, which matches the claim as of 2026-10-19. The claim is a faithful, if terse, reading of the passage, which called her a candidate running in Florida; later developments (the Nov. 3 election) do not change the state of affairs on the posting date.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:03:42

  45. 45TrueThere has been a massive voter fraud bust.On 2026-10-19, federal agents arrested 28 alleged noncitizen voters in California in 'Operation Protect the Vote,' which authorities called the biggest such takedown in the state's history, so a massive voter fraud bust did occur on the claim's date. The only same-day report is a tier-3 outlet, and later coverage repeats the same bust, so confidence is capped.5 sources →

    ▶ 1:04:38

  46. 46MixedThe United States border has been closed to all illegal migrants for over twelve months.Sources support the 'effectively closed' reading: DHS reports 17 consecutive months with zero Border Patrol releases through September 2026, which covers the twelve-plus months before the 2026-10-19 post. The literal 'closed to all illegal migrants' reading is contradicted, because CBP data show roughly 8,000–11,000 monthly nationwide apprehensions, about 3,000 of them at-large, and reporting describes ongoing gotaways and tunnel crossings.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:04:43

  47. 47TrueCrime rates have reached all-time lows in blue cities.Sources published before the 2026-10-19 post show violent crime and homicide at or near historic lows in several large Democratic-led cities, including Chicago, Philadelphia and New York in 2025, though the sources do not sort cities by party and the 'all-time low' framing for homicide rests partly on a CCJ projection. The claim is directionally supported but commits to a broad 'all-time' and 'blue cities' generalization that the sources only partly establish.4 sources →

    ▶ 1:04:51

  48. 48TrueMedian household income is increasing.The claim matches the post's wording ('Median household income going up') and is supported by the Census Bureau's September 2026 report, which shows U.S. real median household income rose 2.6% in 2025 to a record $87,460, and by AP and FactCheck.org coverage of the same figures. The Census data predates the October 19, 2026 post, so the claim was true as of that date. A Seattle city-level article shows stalled local income, but it does not contradict the national measure. Post-tax median income also rose 3.1%, though it was not a record.5 sources →

    ▶ 1:04:55

  49. 49MixedThe poverty rate is the lowest in history.The official Census poverty rate (10.2% in 2025) was the lowest on record since 1959, so the claim holds under that standard measure as of the 2026-10-19 post date. Under the Supplemental Poverty Measure (13.1% in 2025, versus a 7.7% low in 2021), the rate is not at an all-time low, so the claim fails on that measure.4 sources →

    ▶ 1:04:57

  50. 50TrueThe 1776 Club contest gives away $1,776 to a winner once a week.The extracted claim matches the post, which said the 1776 Club gives away $1,776 once a week. Sources from June through October 2026 describe a weekly $1,776 prize tied to the show's live chat, and the contest's rules text was still running on 2026-10-19 (ends 12/18/26). However, nearly all of this material comes from the show's own transcripts and promotional ads, and the official rules page was not itself reviewed, so the support is thin and not independent.7 sources →

    ▶ 1:09:41

  51. 51TrueThe bank involved in the New York City fraud case against Donald Trump stated that they wanted more business with him.Sources show Deutsche Bank's Rosemary Vrablic testified in Trump's New York civil fraud trial that the bank was eager to cultivate Trump business, citing her 2011 email 'We are whale hunting' about bringing in Trump business. The post's dramatized quote ('We love this business. We want more.') is a paraphrase of that testimony, and no source contradicts the core assertion.3 sources →

    ▶ 16:03

  52. 52TruePatriot Mobile has contributed millions to organizations defending the First and Second Amendments, the sanctity of life, and supporting the military, veterans, and first responders for over 12 years.A primary SEC filing from October 2026 states that Patriot Mobile contributes millions of dollars each year to organizations defending the First and Second Amendments, the sanctity of life, and the military, veterans, and first responders. The 'over 12 years' timeframe appears only in a 2025 company press release, and all supporting material comes from the company itself, so confidence is capped.4 sources →

    ▶ 22:20

  53. 53MixedMedicare for All would ban private insurance that duplicates benefits provided by the government program.The bill text quoted in the sources (Sanders' Medicare for All, Sec. 107) makes it unlawful for private insurers to sell coverage that duplicates Medicare for All benefits, and PolitiFact says some versions ban private insurance matching Medicare's coverage. But PolitiFact, Bridge, and Yahoo report that El-Sayed's version would not ban duplicative private insurance, so the claim holds for some versions of Medicare for All and not others. The post's 'which it will' is a prediction and the claim is a generic characterization, so the verdict depends on which version is meant.7 sources →

    ▶ 45:59

  54. 54TrueFederal agents smashed a voter fraud ring in California.Federal authorities did arrest 11 people and charged 28 others in California on October 19, 2026, under 'Operation Protect the Vote' for allegedly registering and voting illegally as noncitizens. The sources describe a coordinated federal operation but do not explicitly use the word 'ring', so the characterization is the main point of judgment.7 sources →

    ▶ 53:12

  55. 55TrueKash Patel is currently at Liberty University in Virginia.Multiple sources, including a Liberty University primary report and a Reuters item, confirm that FBI Director Kash Patel was at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia on October 14, 2026, when MS NOW falsely reported he was in Russia. No source places him elsewhere, but none documents his location on the October 19 posting date itself, so 'currently' rests on an event five days earlier.4 sources →
