349 claims

True95% confidence5 sourcesAug 11, 2026The Senate passed a continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown.Said by CThe Senate passed a continuing resolution on August 8, 2026, by a 90-6 vote, to keep the government funded through December 11 and avert a shutdown before the midterms. The House later passed the Senate version on September 1, but the claim only concerns the Senate's passage.True80% confidence6 sourcesAug 11, 2026Every single Democrat in the United States Senate voted against a bill requiring voters to show an ID.Said by CSenate records and reporting show Democrats voted as a bloc against the Husted photo ID bill (52-46, party-line) and against the broader SAVE America Act, so the central assertion holds. The claim's "every single" wording slightly overstates the record: at least one Democrat did not vote on a June photo ID amendment, and the bill vote tally implies one absence, but no source says a Democrat voted for the bill.True72% confidence5 sourcesAug 11, 2026The Save America Act incentivizes states to check voter rolls against the DHS SAVE system.Sources show the SAVE America Act ties state voter-roll checks to DHS's SAVE system: the bill text lets states meet its citizenship-verification requirement by using SAVE, and a CRS analysis says the House-passed version requires states to submit voter lists to SAVE within 30 days. The bill mandates rather than merely incentivizes this, so 'incentivizes' is a loose but directionally accurate description. The post's 'my bill' is resolved to the SAVE America Act from the surrounding passage, and the later court rulings on SAVE concern the executive-branch program, not the bill.True70% confidence5 sourcesAug 11, 2026Marsha Blackburn killed the state income tax proposal in Tennessee.Said by CIndependent and primary sources agree that Blackburn led the statewide campaign in the Tennessee Senate that defeated a proposed state income tax in the early 2000s, so the claim that she killed the proposal is supported. The extraction faithfully matches the passage, though AP describes her as having 'helped lead' the revolt and much of the detailed credit comes from Blackburn's own materials and campaign ads.True88% confidence7 sourcesAug 11, 2026Tennessee does not currently have a state property tax.Said by CMultiple sources state that Tennessee has not collected a state property tax since 1949 and that the statewide rate is set at zero, so the claim held as of 2026-08-11. The claim is about a state tax only; local property taxes, which the sources confirm exist, do not contradict it, and the extracted claim faithfully matches the post's "we do not have one now."True85% confidence9 sourcesAug 11, 2026Senator Ron Johnson stated that Dr. Fauci was concerned in January 2021 that the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine could be associated with miscarriage in the first trimester.Said by BSen. Ron Johnson did make this statement: his own X post and his Senate website both say Fauci was concerned in January 2021 that the second dose 'theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.' Fact-checkers rejected the broader 82% miscarriage claim and the cover-up framing built on it, but the claim as extracted only asserts that Johnson said this, which is accurate.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True92% confidence5 sourcesAug 11, 2026Dr. Anthony Fauci stated that COVID-19 vaccines could theoretically be associated with miscarriage in the first trimester due to cytokine storms and fever after the second dose.Said by BMultiple sources, including the senators' own release of the text chain and fact-checkers quoting it, confirm Fauci wrote in a January 25, 2021 text that cytokine storms and fever after the second dose 'theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.' The claim accurately reflects that statement; the fact-checks rate the broader miscarriage claims false, but the claim only asserts what Fauci stated, and the text was speculative and not backed by data.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True70% confidence5 sourcesAug 11, 2026Emergency rooms in the United States are required to provide care to anyone with a life-threatening condition regardless of their vaccination status.Said by BFederal law (EMTALA) requires Medicare-participating emergency departments to screen and stabilize anyone with an emergency medical condition, regardless of ability to pay, and CMS, CRS, and OIG sources describe this as covering every individual. None of the sources mention vaccination status explicitly, so the 'regardless of vaccination status' element is an inference from the law's universal scope, supported by an AMA ethics position against refusing unvaccinated patients.True92% confidence5 sourcesAug 11, 2026World War I started in 1914.Said by BMultiple tier1 and other sources show World War I began in 1914, with Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia on July 28, 1914 and a cascade of declarations following that month and August. The claim's core assertion is supported and no source contradicts it; the post's surrounding framing about the Federal Reserve and a 'not a coincidence' implication is opinion and is not part of the extracted claim.True60% confidence4 sourcesAug 11, 2026The Democracy Communication Collaborative is an NGO.Said by BTwo sources describe the Democracy Communications Collaborative as a 501(c)(3) fiscally sponsored project of a nonprofit, which supports calling it a nonprofit NGO. Neither source uses the word "NGO" itself, and the fiscal-sponsorship structure means it is a project rather than a standalone incorporated organization, so confidence is moderate. The extraction matches the post's wording, and the post's "change effort" phrasing is not graded here.True65% confidence5 sourcesAug 11, 2026The Democracy Communications Collaborative published a playbook that segments the electorate into eight audience wedges.Said by BThree sources (Washington Informer, Spokesman-Recorder, Black Star News), all published June to August 2026 and before the claim date, report that Harmony Labs and the Democracy Communications Collaborative released the Democracy Audience Map, which identifies eight values-based audience segments. The sources call this a report rather than a 'playbook,' a label difference that does not defeat the core claim, and the segments are reported as the same eight across the articles. No source contradicts the claim.True70% confidenceAug 11, 2026The Democracy Communications Collective works with Harmony Labs.Multiple sources describe the Democracy Communications Collaborative and Harmony Labs jointly releasing research (the Democracy Audience Map) and collaborating on work, which supports the claim as of 2026-08-11. Sources name the group
