Mixed60% confidence6 sourcesAug 11, 2026The Senate approved a new tranche of Trump appointees, reaching 95% of all his appointees.Said by CThe Senate did approve a fifth en bloc batch of 74 nominees on Aug 7, 2026, and Senate Republicans said this brought confirmations to 95% of nominations available for floor consideration, which is the measure the post meant. But the claim drops the post's qualifier 'that are ready' and reads as 95% of all of Trump's appointees, and USAFacts reports only 71.6% of all submitted nominations confirmed (as of Sept 30, 2026, after the claim date).Mixed60% confidence7 sourcesAug 11, 2026Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data noted an 81% miscarriage rate.Said by BLiterally, the Pfizer 5.3.6 document is a real FDA submission that contains an 81% figure, which fact-checkers trace to miscalculated percentages from 32 pregnancy cases with most outcomes unreported. Read as a real 81% miscarriage rate, the claim is false: fact-checkers say no study found such a rate and the figure is a miscalculation. The claim also departs slightly from the passage, which says the figure was 'noted' in the post's own framing.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Mixed60% confidence4 sourcesAug 11, 2026ERIC sent 30,000 invitations to register to vote to criminal invaders.Said by BThe figure is supported: about 30,000 noncitizens received voter-registration postcards in Colorado in 2022, and the error traced to a database glitch involving an ERIC-provided list. But the sources say the Colorado Secretary of State's office mailed the invitations, not ERIC, and nothing shows the recipients were 'criminal'. The claim also leaves out that the state called it a mistake and said noncitizens would not be allowed to register.Mixed45% confidence9 sourcesAug 11, 2026The state of Colorado obstructed inquiries into the 2020 election results.Said by BSources show Colorado did restrict some access: Secretary of State Griswold's 2021 emergency rules barred unauthorized third-party examination of election equipment, and the state prosecuted Tina Peters for breaching Mesa County's voting systems. But Colorado also ran official reviews of 2020 claims (a legislative audit committee hearing, a Mesa County DA review that rejected Peters' report, and bipartisan investigations finding no fraud), and no source describes the state as obstructing inquiry. The claim's 'obstruction' framing is the claimant's characterization, which the sources contest, and the post's own 'investigated us for asking questions' refers to Peters' prosecution, not a general block on inquiry.Mixed60% confidence2 sourcesAug 11, 2026Jenna Griswold had a campaign finance complaint filed against her while she was running for governor.Said by BSources confirm a campaign finance complaint was filed against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold in January 2025, alleging she spent funds on a gubernatorial campaign without registering. The complaint was later dismissed for insufficient evidence, and the sources treat her gubernatorial candidacy as the complaint's allegation rather than an established fact, so the claim is only partly supported.Mixed55% confidence7 sourcesAug 11, 2026GoFundMe deplatformed people who were organizing to help victims of partisan political attacks.Said by BSources confirm GoFundMe removed politically charged fundraisers, including the Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign and Kyle Rittenhouse's legal defense fund, and that critics called this partisan. But GoFundMe cited terms-of-service violations, and no source establishes that those campaigners were 'victims of partisan political attacks' as the claim frames them, so the characterization is contested rather than documented.True90% confidence6 sourcesOct 21, 2026Susan Collins serves as the chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.Said by BMultiple primary and tier1 sources show Susan Collins served as Republican chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee around the claim date of 2026-10-21, including the official committee membership page (published 2026-10-19), the committee membership list, and AP reporting from August 2026. The claim departs from nothing in the passage, which says the same thing about her chairmanship.True80% confidence8 sourcesOct 21, 2026Susan Collins is the only Republican member of the U.S. House or Senate representing a New England state.Said by BMultiple sources published around the claim date describe Susan Collins as the only Republican in New England's congressional delegation, which matches the claim. The claim departs from the post only trivially (the post's 'one of only 31' phrasing is garbled, but the 'only Republican in all of New England' statement is faithfully extracted), and the situation was unchanged in the sources through the check date.True90% confidence5 sourcesOct 21, 2026Mike Johnston is the Mayor of Denver.Said by AMultiple sources confirm Mike Johnston has been Mayor of Denver since 2023 (Lincoln Institute, Wikipedia, Reuters Feb 2026 order, and the Denver mayor's office page), so the claim held on 2026-10-21. The claim departs only trivially from the passage, which calls him 'Mayor Mike Johnston', and the sources show he remained mayor afterward, with a 2027 reelection contest noted by Denverite.True95% confidence9 sourcesOct 21, 2026Amy Acton is a candidate for Governor of Ohio.Multiple reliable sources published around the claim date (AP Oct 5, Statehouse News Oct 22, Cleveland.com Oct 27, ABC News Oct 25) confirm Amy Acton was the Democratic candidate for Ohio governor in the 2026 race as of 2026-10-21, and the post's phrasing 'running for governor' matches this. The claim is accurate as of the posting date and remains true at checking time, with the Nov. 3 election still pending.True95% confidence6 sourcesOct 21, 2026Elissa Slotkin is a former CIA employee.Multiple tier1 and primary sources (Senate.gov bio, AP, BBC, Reuters) confirm Elissa Slotkin was a CIA analyst before entering Congress, so she is a former CIA employee. The claim is a faithful extraction of the passage's 'former CIA officer' phrase, with the spelling 'Alyssa' in the post corrected to Elissa, which the sources support.True60% confidence4 sourcesOct 21, 2026The Great American Restoration Tour stop 14 will take place in Saint Pete Beach, Florida, from November 12th through November 14th.Said by BThe claim matches the passage, and the organizer's own event page and ticket shop both list the Great American Restoration Tour 14 at St. Pete Beach, FL on November 12–14, 2026, as of the October 21 post date. No independent source covers the event, and all supporting pages trace to Badlands Media, so confidence is capped.
