False80% confidence8 sourcesOct 15, 2026The Save America Act requires a passport to register to vote.Said by CThe SAVE America Act requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, and a passport is only one of several accepted documents, so it does not require a passport. The original post's hedge 'effectively, a passport' was dropped in the extracted claim, which turns it into a literal requirement the bill does not impose. As of 2026-10-15 the bill had passed the House but not the Senate.False75% confidence8 sourcesOct 15, 2026The Heritage Foundation conducted a study about fraudulent voting in America and found none.Said by BThe Heritage Foundation's voter fraud database records many proven fraud cases (about 1,333 to 2,276 depending on the period), so it did not find none. The sources also say those cases are rare relative to total votes, which is a different point from finding none.False60% confidence4 sourcesOct 15, 2026A Rasmussen projection for the midterms shows Democrats with 53 Senate seats and Republicans with 46.Said by BNo source reports a Rasmussen Senate projection of 53 Democratic seats. Rasmussen's own October 15 comments describe the Senate as a "50-50 shot" that is too close to call, which is incompatible with a 53-46 Democratic projection. Later coverage (October 29) puts Rasmussen at 47 Democratic and 46 Republican seats rated safe or likely, with seven competitive seats, so the claim's Democratic figure does not match. The post's 53-46 graphic itself is not among the sources.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.False60% confidence8 sourcesAug 27, 2026The United States is importing contaminated beef from Argentina.Said by AThe claim that the US is importing contaminated beef from Argentina is not supported. The only US recall of Argentine beef (about 29,628 lbs, August 2026) was triggered by a missed import reinspection, not a confirmed contamination finding, and the one contamination case (a March Chinese rejection of a single Argentine plant's shipment) did not involve US imports. Snopes declined to rate the viral claim, but experts quoted by HuffPost call such claims overblown and incorrect, so the contamination assertion fails on the sources, though it is not a formal fact-checker rating. Argentine beef imports are ongoing, so the import element is true; the claimed contamination is not.False60% confidence7 sourcesAug 27, 2026Blueberries in the United States are killing people.Said by AThe sources show a real multistate E. coli outbreak tied to frozen organic blueberries from one supplier, with 17 illnesses and 6 hospitalizations, but CDC reports no deaths. A wrongful death lawsuit alleges one death, which is an unadjudicated allegation, so the broad claim that blueberries in the United States are killing people is contradicted by the official record as of the claim date.False60% confidence7 sourcesAug 27, 2026Members of the Trump regime are linked to a pedophile ring in the Epstein files.Said by AThe claim that Trump administration members are 'right in the middle of a pedophile ring' is not supported by the sources. FactCheck.org flags unsupported Trump-Epstein allegations, PolitiFact says being mentioned in the files is not wrongdoing, and the FBI findings as quoted in Wikipedia say other victims did not corroborate a trafficking ring that lent girls to powerful men. The only sourced kernel is that Trump appears in the files and flew on Epstein's jet, and a partisan House Democratic report alleges, without resolving, possible co-conspirator status.False70% confidence5 sourcesAug 10, 2026Mike Rogers earned $14 million after his time in Congress.Said by BThe claim that Rogers earned $14 million after leaving Congress is not supported. PolitiFact found no record of any payment or group of payments matching $14 million, and CBS/60 Minutes said it could not verify the figure because disclosed numbers reflect net worth, not earnings. Rogers' net worth did rise after 2015, but the sources give a $7–14 million range, not a $14 million earnings figure.False62% confidence6 sourcesAug 10, 2026Mike Rogers left government service in 2014 and earned 14 million dollars.The $14 million earnings figure is not supported: PolitiFact found no single payment or group of payments matching that amount, and 60 Minutes could not verify it, since the disclosed net-worth rise ($7M to $14M or more) reflects net worth, not earnings. The 2014 departure date also conflicts with sources saying Rogers left Congress in January 2015, though the earnings figure is the central assertion.
