190 claims
Can’t tell40% confidence4 sourcesOct 16, 2026The budget of the State of California was $170 billion 10 years ago and is $354 billion in 2026.Said by 4BThe sources support a 2026-27 total spending figure of $351.7 billion, close to the claimed $354 billion, but none state California's budget total for 2016-17, so the claimed $170 billion baseline and the 'more than doubled' comparison cannot be checked. The claim matches the post's own wording, so no extraction departure applies.Can’t tell40% confidence7 sourcesOct 16, 2026The FBI conducted a high-profile raid at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles shortly before October 16, 2026.Said by 4BSources document several federal and LAPD drug raids at MacArthur Park in 2026 (March, June 4, and an undated LAmag item listed on October 13 headlined 'Feds, LAPD Storm MacArthur Park'), and FBI took part in some task-force operations. None clearly confirms an FBI-led raid at the park in the days before October 16, and the October 8 raids were on Skid Row, not MacArthur Park.Can’t tell70% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026In 2025, the U.S. murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history.Said by 2BWhile U.S. murder rates saw historic declines in 2023 and 2024, the provided sources do not contain specific data or confirmation that 2025 experienced the single largest decline in recorded history.Can’t tell35% confidence3 sourcesSep 16, 2026Native Path offers over 45% off, free shipping, and a 365 day money back guarantee on collagen products.Said by AThe sources do not establish Native Path's offer as of the 2026-09-16 posting date. The only product-specific source is the company's own page, published 2026-10-29, which lists free shipping and a 365-day money-back guarantee but says 'up to 44% off', not over 45%, and the Snopes and Full Fact items are generic or unrelated.Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The FBI has arrested 31,000 violent gang members.Said by 2BThe claim matches the wording of the post, which said 31,000 violent gang members were arrested by the FBI. The only primary source, Patel's September 2026 Senate testimony, instead says the FBI 'disrupted over 31,000 gangs and criminal enterprises,' a different measure from arrests of gang members. The other figures are the claimant's own words, a White House-echoing AP7AM item, and a hearing exchange where Patel simply agreed, so none independently verifies the arrest figure.Can’t tell40% confidence7 sourcesSep 16, 2026The FBI has arrested 4,260 foreign terrorist organization-related aliens.Said by 2BMultiple outlets report that FBI Director Kash Patel told the Senate Judiciary Committee the bureau arrested 4,260 people linked to foreign terrorist organizations over 18 months, but these reports only record the claim as made. No tier1 or primary source independently verifies the count, and one low-credibility source notes the figures rely on bureau-compiled data that is hard to verify independently.Can’t tell30% confidence3 sourcesSep 16, 2026Dan Bongino has received 10 to 15 phone calls from President Trump asking for his opinion.Said by AThe sources do not verify the count of 10 to 15 calls or that Trump called to ask for Bongino's opinion. A 2023 Newsweek piece by Bongino describes Trump calling him several times to check on him, and 2025 reports confirm a call, but none addresses the number of calls or their purpose, and the claim rests on the host's own anecdote.Can’t tell50% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The Dan Bongino Show is broadcast exclusively on Rumble.The claim departs from the passage: the post says the video podcast is exclusively on Rumble, but the extracted claim widens this to the show being broadcast exclusively on Rumble. Sources support the narrower video reading (exclusive video and livestream rights on Rumble from February 2026) while showing the audio is distributed on all major podcast platforms, which contradicts the broader literal reading.Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The crime rate dropped because of President Trump's use of Title 8 for deportations.Said by AThe sources confirm that crime fell in 2025 and in early 2026, but none examines whether Title 8 deportations caused that drop. The administration and DHS credit deportations, while the NYT notes the trend began before Trump's current term and independent analysts dispute the attribution. The post also says "Title A" (a transcription of Title 8), so the Title 8 specificity is the extraction's wording rather than the post's.Can’t tell25% confidence8 sourcesSep 16, 2026American Financing offers rates in the 5s with an APR starting at 6.327% for well-qualified borrowers.The claim faithfully reflects the sponsor read in the post, but the only sources are repeated American Financing ad copy, which is circular and not independent verification of the 6.327% APR. No independent source (regulator, lender rate sheet, or fact-checker) confirms or disputes the rate as of 2026-08-19.
