Can’t tell30% confidence4 sourcesJul 30, 2026According to the Partnership for Public Service and the Washington Post tracker, 108 Trump nominees are awaiting Senate action.Said by BThe post's passage does attribute the figure of about 108 awaiting action to the Partnership for Public Service and Washington Post tracker, so the extraction is faithful. No source gives the tracker's count for 2026-07-30, though nearby snapshots show 82 awaiting Senate action as of May 2026 and 91 in an undated tracker snapshot, which neither confirms nor refutes 108 on that date.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell30% confidence3 sourcesJul 30, 2026Out of 1,300 top government roles tracked, only 360 have been confirmed in the second year of the Trump administration.Said by BThe extracted claim departs from the passage: the post says roughly 800 top roles (out of 1,300) require confirmation and that 360 of those 800 are confirmed, while the claim attaches 360 to the full 1,300 pool. The sources also do not directly establish a 360-confirmation figure for year two as of 2026-07-30, instead reporting differing totals such as 352 in year one (Brookings), 591 civilian confirmations (Politico, September), and 466 total confirmations (WaPo, October).Can’t tell30% confidence12 sourcesJul 30, 2026Kamala Harris received fewer votes in the 2024 election than the winner of the 2026 midterm races will receive.Said by CThe sources document Kamala Harris's 2024 total as roughly 75 million votes, but none report 2026 midterm vote totals, so the claim that the 2026 winner will receive more votes is a forecast the sources cannot check. The post itself is a prediction about midterm turnout and enthusiasm, not a reported result.Can’t tell60% confidence5 sourcesJul 30, 2026The Senate held hearings regarding Anthony Fauci on August 1, 2026.Said by BThe sources show the Senate Homeland Security committee hearing with Fauci took place on July 29, 2026, which is the day the post's 'yesterday' refers to. The claimed date of August 1 appears nowhere in the passage, so the claim departs from the post and cannot be graded as the poster's statement.Can’t tell50% confidence5 sourcesJul 30, 2026Robert Hur identified evidence that Joe Biden willfully retained classified materials after his vice presidency.Said by AThe sources confirm that Special Counsel Robert Hur's report found evidence Biden willfully retained classified materials after his vice presidency, but the post attributes the investigation to its own speaker ('My team and I'), not to Hur, so the extracted claim departs from the passage and cannot be graded as the post's claim.Can’t tell50% confidence6 sourcesJul 30, 2026Celeste Keaton has been suspended from her role as a WNBA team owner.Said by BThe post says only that Keaton "has been suspended"; the extracted claim adds that she was suspended "from her role as a WNBA team owner," which the passage never says, so the verdict is unverifiable. The sources (published July 29 to 31, 2026, and reflecting the state as of July 30) report that the WNBA suspended Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton from attending the team's next five home games and fined her an undisclosed amount, which is a narrower sanction than suspension from her ownership role.Can’t tell30% confidence4 sourcesJul 30, 2026Pew polling data indicates that upwards of 80% of the population in countries that have received millions of immigrants over the last several decades hold beliefs that are culturally disqualifying.Said by 3CNone of the provided sources reports Pew data on the share of people in immigrant-receiving countries who hold culturally disqualifying beliefs, so the 80% figure can be neither confirmed nor refuted. The sources that mention Pew cover Latinos' views of their own situation and a 2011 survey of U.S. Muslims' assimilation, which are different referents. The claim is also a checkable statistic, not opinion, and the post's own figure ('could be upwards of 80%') is an unsourced estimate by the speaker.Can’t tell40% confidence4 sourcesJul 30, 2026Imams in Texas are publicly stating that they intend to conquer Texas and control the minds of children.Said by 3CNone of the provided sources reports an imam in Texas saying they intend to conquer Texas or control children's minds. The Context Corner piece notes that Rep. Keith Self did not identify the imams he was talking about, and the Chron piece calls a comedian's similar 'conquest of Texas' allegations inaccurate, but no source examines this specific statement. The claim is also an extraction from the claimant's own post, which is not evidence, and the sources do not show the posted claim was ever substantiated.Can’t tell60% confidence5 sourcesJul 30, 2026Democrats are letting noncitizens vote illegally by keeping illegal immigrants on voter rolls.Said by BThe claim departs from the passage: the post says over a quarter of a million illegals are on voter rolls and does not say Democrats are letting them vote or keeping them on rolls. Sources debunk the related DHS figure of 250,000+ and find no organized Democratic scheme, but the Democrat-attribution is not what the post asserted, so the extracted claim is unverifiable as written.
