Mixed50% confidence4 sourcesJul 30, 2026Senators Bernie Moreno and Mike Lee led a push to pass the Save America Act.Said by BSources support that Sen. Mike Lee was a leading advocate for the SAVE America Act (primary sponsor, and a prominent voice pushing the Senate to pass it or cancel recess), and that Sen. Bernie Moreno was a cosponsor who joined pushes for passage. However, the July 20, 2026 Senate press release says Sen. Marsha Blackburn led the push, with Lee and Moreno among the colleagues joining her, so Moreno's role as a leader is overstated. No source covers the specific July 29 evening push the post describes, and the claim's timing is dropped in the extraction, which does not change the verdict.Mixed60% confidence7 sourcesJul 30, 2026Robert Hur decided not to prosecute Joe Biden for taking classified documents because of Biden's memory problems.Said by DHur did cite Biden's poor memory as one reason for declining prosecution, since it would make him a sympathetic witness to a jury, so the claim is partly right. But sources say the declination rested on several reasons, including cooperation and insufficient evidence to prove willfulness beyond a reasonable doubt, and ABC7 describes the evidentiary reasons as primary, so memory was not the sole cause as the claim implies.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Mixed50% confidence5 sourcesJul 30, 2026In some countries, over 90% of the population believes that apostates from Islam should be tried in a Sharia court and face the death penalty.Said by 3CThe Pew-based sources show majority or high Muslim support for the death penalty for apostasy in some countries, with the highest reported figures at about 86-88% (Egypt), but none reports over 90%. The claim also speaks of the whole population while the surveys cover Muslims, and the sharia-court-trial element is not directly addressed; the data are from 2013, before the 2026-07-30 posting date.Mixed60% confidence7 sourcesJul 30, 2026Judith Butler has defended Islam as a global left movement and refused to criticize or condemn Islamic violence.Sources confirm Butler called Hamas and Hezbollah 'progressive' and part of 'a global Left' and described the October 7 attack as 'armed resistance' rather than terrorism, so the claim's left-movement and non-condemnation elements have some support. But the claim's sweeping scope ('Islam' generally, 'Islamic violence') overstates the record, and Butler's own 2012 statement says she does not endorse violent resistance or state violence.True95% confidence7 sourcesJul 30, 2026Russ Vought serves as the director of the Office of Management and Budget.Said by BAs of 2026-07-30, Russ Vought was the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The Senate confirmed him for the post in April 2026, and a July 2026 Senate hearing release and a Reuters report from July 15, 2026 both identify him as OMB director. The post's 'Russ Vogt' is a misspelling of the same person, and the claim's wording matches the post's 'OMB director' remark.True95% confidence5 sourcesJul 30, 2026Bernie Moreno is a United States Senator representing Ohio.Said by BMultiple authoritative sources (AP election results, House history site, Senate and Congress.gov records, Wikipedia-consistent reporting) confirm Bernie Moreno is a U.S. Senator representing Ohio, sworn in January 3, 2025, and holding the seat as of July 30, 2026. The claim's referent matches the passage's 'Senator Bernie Moreno, from the great state of Ohio.'True90% confidence6 sourcesJul 30, 2026Spain passed an amnesty for hundreds of thousands of people who had illegally migrated there earlier this year.Said by CMultiple reliable sources confirm Spain's government approved a migrant amnesty in April 2026, aimed at hundreds of thousands of people living and working in the country without authorization, and that about 610,000 had obtained temporary work permits by July. The amnesty was adopted by royal decree rather than a parliamentary vote, which is a peripheral point about the word 'passed' and does not contradict the core claim.True85% confidence5 sourcesJul 30, 2026The Spanish government implemented the amnesty for illegal immigrants without a direct parliamentary vote.Said by CThe immigrant amnesty was enacted by royal decree, and multiple sources state it bypassed parliament, so the claim holds. The 2024 Catalan separatist amnesty law did pass parliament, but it is a different measure from the one the post describes.True92% confidence5 sourcesJul 30, 2026Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish cities located on the African continent.Multiple tier1 and other sources (AP, Reuters, BBC, Al Jazeera, Britannica, The Local) confirm Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish autonomous cities located on the northern coast of Africa; Morocco disputes Spanish sovereignty but the claim's core is supported. The extraction faithfully captures the speaker's statement that Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish cities on Africa.True85% confidence6 sourcesJul 30, 2026Gibraltar is technically British land.Said by BSources consistently describe Gibraltar as a British Overseas Territory, with Spain ceding it to Britain in 1713 and UK sovereignty explicitly protected in the 2025 UK-EU agreement. Spain disputes UK sovereignty, and the word 'technically' reflects that legal status, but the standard reading that Gibraltar is British land holds. The claim matches the passage's wording, and the post's 'technically British land' is its own referent.True60% confidence4 sourcesJul 30, 2026According to The Washington Post, 1 in 5 reliable conservative voters are not sure they will show up to vote in the midterms.Said by BThe 1-in-5 figure for reliable conservative voters is reported as coming from WaPo's coverage of an AFP Action analysis dated July 26, 2026, before the claim's July 30 date. That reporting frames the group as considering staying home or backing Democrats, a broader measure than 'not sure they will show up,' and the claim's wording is a faithful paraphrase of the post, so I grade it true with moderate confidence.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True70% confidence4 sourcesJul 30, 2026Christian Healthcare Ministries offers health cost sharing programs starting at 115 dollars a month.Said by BCHM's own program page lists its lowest-priced plan, CHM Bronze, at $115 per unit per month, and a 2026 comparison article describes prices starting at $115. The figure is per unit, not per household, and a FaithFi page and an older article cite different starting figures ($78 and $150), so the claim holds on the ministry's own pricing as of 2026-07-30.
