Jennifer Welch & Angie Sullivan

Bible Belt natives and progressive podcasters, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan share how they *really feel* about political news. Their comedic, feel-good takes drop daily, possibly more when sh*t really hits the fan.

Can’t tell30% confidence9 sourcesAug 10, 2026Melania Trump stated in a documentary that she does not share a bed with her husband.Said by ANo source shows Melania Trump saying in the documentary that she does not share a bed with her husband. The only documentary-specific source (Nickiswift, low credibility) reads a scene where the couple part ways as implying separate bedrooms, and the other bedroom reports date from 2017-2018 and rely on anonymous sources her representative denied. The post itself says she 'made sure the audience knew' rather than that she stated it, so the claim's 'stated' framing goes beyond the passage.Can’t tell35% confidence5 sourcesAug 10, 2026Melania Trump does not share a bed with Donald Trump.Said by AThe sources contain only tabloid speculation, anonymous insider claims, and a 2018 book's account, all of which point toward separate sleeping arrangements, but no authoritative source directly confirms or refutes the present-day claim as of 2026-08-10. Melania Trump's representative denied the 2017 Us Weekly claims, and the Benanti segment was satire, so the evidence is too thin and indirect to commit to a verdict.Can’t tell60% confidence6 sourcesAug 10, 2026Mike Rogers lost to Senator Slotkin in the August 2026 primary election.Said by BThe claim departs from the passage: the post says Rogers lost to Slotkin, but in the 2024 general election, not in the August 2026 primary. Sources show Rogers was unopposed in the August 4, 2026 Republican primary, so he did not lose that primary to Slotkin, but the verdict is unverifiable under the extraction-fidelity rule.Can’t tell20% confidence1 sourceAug 10, 2026The cost of zoo admission for two children and two adults was 132 dollars.Said by BThe claim describes a personal zoo visit by the poster on 2026-08-09 at an unnamed zoo, and no source covers that visit or its $132 total. The sources list admission prices at other zoos in later periods, none matching the poster's family or the claimed total, so the evidence neither confirms nor refutes the claim. The extraction is faithful to the post, which says 'a hundred and 32 dollars' for the kids, wife and speaker.Can’t tell35% confidence7 sourcesAug 10, 2026AIPAC has labeled Abdul El-Sayed the most dangerous candidate for the US-Israel relationship.Said by BThe sources show El-Sayed repeatedly saying AIPAC called him the 'most dangerous candidate for the US-Israel relationship,' but no independent source confirms that AIPAC said this, and the coverage largely repeats his own claim. The extracted claim matches the post's wording, and nothing in the sources contradicts it, so it is unverifiable as of 2026-08-10.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell50% confidence5 sourcesAug 10, 2026Abdul El-Sayed spent 60 to 70 million dollars against him in the primary election.The claim departs from the passage: the post says $60 to 70 million was spent against El-Sayed in the primary, but the claim makes El-Sayed the spender. Sources consistently report that outside groups, mainly AIPAC-linked super PACs, spent roughly $60 to 70 million against him, so the claim's actor is wrong.
