349 claims

True93% confidence7 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Supreme Court ruled that states can choose to have mail-in ballots delivered after Election Day if they were voted on or before Election Day.Said by CThe Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Watson v. RNC (June 29, 2026) that states may count mail ballots postmarked by Election Day and received afterward, upholding Mississippi's five-day grace period. The claim's wording about ballots being cast on or before Election Day matches the sources' 'postmarked by Election Day' standard, and the post's report that Mississippi won is accurate.True72% confidence6 sourcesSep 16, 2026Fox News advised their network not to talk about Donald Trump's speech on the day after it occurred.Said by CMultiple sources report that Fox issued internal guidance to avoid promoting or covering Trump's July 16 speech, and that Fox largely skipped coverage the morning after. The guidance quoted in the reporting was addressed to Fox Business staff rather than the whole network, and it said "don't promote or push" the speech rather than literally "don't talk about" it, so the claim's scope is somewhat broader than the record.True65% confidence4 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Department of Justice sent a letter to state election officials last week instructing them to hold onto evidence.Said by CAn AP report published September 10, 2026, says the DOJ sent letters to 29 states and DC instructing election officials not to destroy 2024 election records, which matches the claim's 'hold onto evidence' instruction within the week before the September 16 post. The sources do not confirm the post's 'we're investigating you' wording, and the later October letters postdate the post and are not the basis for this verdict.True85% confidence7 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Department of Homeland Security issued a letter on July 18th claiming that California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey collectively had 250,000 potential non-citizens on their voter lists.Said by CDHS did claim that California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey collectively had over 250,000 potential non-citizens on their voter rolls, in a July 2026 release and letters, and the four state figures sum to about 256,000. The sources date the letters to July 16–17 rather than July 18, a peripheral detail that does not change the core assertion.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True85% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 202647 states offer early voting.Said by CMultiple sources dated before or near 2026-09-16 report that 47 states offer early in-person voting to all voters, with Alabama, Mississippi and New Hampshire as the exceptions. The claim is consistent with these figures, and the extraction matches the passage's wording.True85% confidence7 sourcesSep 16, 2026Three-fourths of the states offer mail voting without an excuse.Said by CAs of 2026-09-16, 37 states plus DC allowed no-excuse mail voting, about 74% of the 50 states, which matches 'three-fourths.' Other sources report 36 to 37 states depending on how all-mail states are counted, and none contradicts the claim.True88% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The administration sent monitors to elections in 2025.Said by CThe claim is supported: the DOJ announced in October 2025 that it would monitor polling sites in California and New Jersey for the November 4, 2025 election, and PolitiFact, CNN, and WDSU reported the monitors being deployed. The claim matches the post's wording, which refers to this administration sending monitors in 2025.True95% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The California primary election took place on June 2nd.Said by CMultiple primary and official sources (California Secretary of State, San Francisco government, AP, and a recap piece) confirm the California statewide primary was held on June 2, 2026. The extracted claim is a faithful paraphrase of the passage's reference to the June 2nd primary, and no source contradicts the date.True92% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026Attorneys from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles visited the Los Angeles County vote counting center following the June 2nd primary.Said by CAn Assistant U.S. Attorney from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles visited the Los Angeles County Ballot Processing Center on June 5, 2026, after the June 2 primary, as confirmed by the county's own report and by AP and CNN. The sources describe one attorney rather than several, a minor imprecision that does not change the core claim.True55% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026One woman pled guilty in relation to the California primary election.Said by 5CLiterally, the claim is supported: Orange County DA source [4] reports a Costa Mesa woman pled guilty to a misdemeanor for voting her dog in the 2022 California primary, and Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong pled guilty in June 2026 to a federal voter-registration payment count. However, the sources do not tie any guilty plea to the June 2026 primary itself; Armstrong's plea concerns paid petition circulation for ballot measures, so the post's intended 2026-primary reading is only loosely supported.True65% confidence10 sourcesSep 16, 2026Bitcoin is trading at 75,000 dollars.Said by 5COn 2026-09-16, multiple same-day sources put Bitcoin at roughly $75,600 to $76,000, with a 24-hour low near $74,945, so "trading at 75,000" is a close rounded figure. The post's "down to 75,000" was said that day and the extraction matches it; later prices (about $68,000 to $78,000 in late October and early November) do not bear on the September 16 date.True60% confidence9 sourcesSep 16, 2026Human bodies produce one to 2% less collagen every year after age 30.Said by BMultiple sources state that collagen declines after age 30 at roughly 1% to 1.5% per year, and one states 1 or 2% per year, so the claimed 1-2% range overlaps the reported figures. The sources are low-credibility commercial and blog pages with no authoritative source directly addressing this figure, and the post's wording is faithfully extracted.
