Can’t tell35% confidence7 sourcesAug 5, 2026The Republican Party has held control of the House, Senate, and White House simultaneously five times in the last century.Said by BThe sources do not directly count how many times Republicans held the House, Senate, and presidency at once in the last century, so the 'five times' figure cannot be graded. They confirm several such periods (the 1920s under Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, 2003–2007, 2017–2019, and 2025 onward), but the sources don't settle the total or the counting method, and the extraction faithfully reflects the post's wording.Can’t tell45% confidence4 sourcesAug 5, 2026The New York Times called the Michigan Democratic primary race for Abdul El-Sayed.Said by BThe sources show El-Sayed won the narrow Michigan Democratic Senate primary over Haley Stevens, but none states that The New York Times called the race for him. The only NYT item provided is a live blog headlined 'Too Close to Call', published Aug. 4, before the post, so it neither confirms nor refutes the call; the extraction faithfully reflects the post's wording.Can’t tell30% confidence8 sourcesAug 5, 2026The National Institutes of Health has stolen tax money for years and given it to people all over the world.Said by CNone of the provided sources address the claim that NIH stole tax money and gave it to people worldwide. The sources cover NIH funding disputes, court injunctions, and grant oversight, but none examine or dismiss an allegation of theft or foreign diversion, so the claim cannot be graded in either direction.Can’t tell30% confidence4 sourcesAug 5, 2026The United States is absorbing 3 to 5 million illegal immigrants every year under Democratic rule.Said by BThe extracted claim departs from the passage: the post says the country "cannot absorb another three to 5 million illegals every year," a hypothetical rhetorical limit, not a statement that the US is absorbing that many now. The sources give no annual figure near 3 to 5 million; they show a much smaller Biden-era population growth and sharply lower encounters since January 2025, so the claim is not verifiable as stated.Can’t tell30% confidence3 sourcesAug 5, 2026There are 12 to 14 states in the United States where conservative Christians and constitutionalists will never win elections because the elections are rigged.Said by CNo source addresses the claim that 12 to 14 states are permanently rigged against conservative Christians and constitutionalists, and the sources do not name any such states. Related sources cover broader rigging allegations (a 2024 Cook County machine claim, Tuberville's unevidenced 'four or five senators didn't legally win' remarks, and a Harvard appendix rejecting national rigging claims), but none examines this state-level allegation, so the claim cannot be graded. The post's speaker is not identified in the sources, and the claim's wording ('will never win') departs from the passage's framing only slightly.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesAug 5, 2026Voters elected President Trump to reject mass migration of cheap labor.Said by BNone of the sources report on why voters chose Trump or whether they were rejecting mass migration of cheap labor; they cover Trump's 2016 and 2024 immigration platforms and promises, which are consistent with a restrictionist agenda but do not show voter motives. The extracted claim also drops the post's framing that big businesses would push this migration and that it involves 'third worlders' and 'slave labor', so it is a narrower paraphrase of the passage.Can’t tell30% confidence5 sourcesAug 5, 2026Sarah Kleiner is board-certified in applied quantum biology by the American Naturopathic Medical Board.The claim matches the bio read on the show, but every source that states the certification is either Sarah Kleiner's own material or podcast and social posts repeating her self-description. No independent authority such as the American Naturopathic Medical Board, a fact-checker, or a government record confirms or disputes it, so the claim cannot be graded either way. The extraction is faithful to the passage, and the referent is Sarah Kleiner as introduced in the post.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.
