Can’t tell35% confidence10 sourcesSep 15, 2026Zebiotics Pre-Alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.Said by AThe only sources that state the 'world's first genetically engineered probiotic' framing are ZBiotics' own materials and interviews with its CEO, which are self-claims rather than independent verification. The SF Chronicle (2025) attributes the claim to Abbott ('he claims'), and no fact-checker or independent authority in the sources examined or rejected it, so the sources neither substantiate nor dispute the superlative. The claim was made on 2026-09-15 and the post is a Strict Scrutiny episode that merely repeats it; the sources show no change in the claim's status since then.Can’t tell30% confidence9 sourcesSep 15, 2026Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas indicated they would allow Donald Trump to rig and steal the upcoming midterm elections.Said by 2BSources confirm that Alito and Thomas alone dissented from the September 14 order keeping the Postal Service mail-ballot rule blocked, and that they argued the rules targeted election fraud. No source reports that they indicated they would let Trump rig or steal the midterms; that is the post's hyperbolic characterization, and the sources neither substantiate nor dispute it as a factual claim.Can’t tell40% confidence3 sourcesSep 15, 2026Justice Samuel Alito compared the Postal Service's mail-in ballot regulation to the requirement to list a recipient's address on mail.Said by 2CThe claim matches the passage's wording, but the visible excerpts do not show Alito making the address-listing comparison. Source 6 reports that he called the rule 'simply a mailing requirement similar to others,' which partly fits the claim, but the primary dissent excerpt is truncated before any such passage.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell40% confidence7 sourcesSep 15, 2026The constitutional question regarding the mail-in ballot rule was argued in conference nearly seven months ago.Said by 2CThe sources do not report when the justices discussed the mail-in ballot question in conference, and the claim's 'constitutional question' is not clearly tied to a specific case. The Watson v. RNC oral argument on March 23, 2026 (about 5.8 months before the September 15 post) is the nearest documented date, but it is an argument rather than a conference and does not clearly match 'nearly seven months.'Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell40% confidence3 sourcesSep 15, 2026The production staff of Strict Scrutiny is unionized with the Writers Guild of America East.Said by 2CThe only source that repeats the claim is a Crooked Media podcast page (May 2026) that uses the same wording, so it traces back to the show's own publisher and is not independent corroboration. The WGAE's list of unionized nonfiction production companies and its AFL-CIO profile neither confirm nor refute the claim for Strict Scrutiny, so the claim cannot be graded against an independent record. The extraction matches the post, which resolves 'our production staff' to Strict Scrutiny from the post's title and author.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesSep 15, 2026Strict Scrutiny podcast episodes are eligible for CLE credits in California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington, and Oregon.The claim faithfully reflects the post's promotional line, but the only sources that repeat it are the podcast's own listings and promos, which are circular and cannot corroborate it. No independent source (CLE regulator, state bar, or CLE provider) confirms or disputes the state-by-state eligibility as of 2026-09-15.
