190 claims
True70% confidence7 sourcesOct 19, 2026Donald Trump was charged with fraud against a bank in New York City.Said by ASources show New York Attorney General Letitia James brought a civil fraud case in New York state court against Donald Trump, alleging he inflated his net worth to induce banks and insurers to lend and insure on better terms, and a judge ruled him liable. "Charged" fits a civil suit rather than a criminal indictment, and the separate criminal case was about falsified business records, not bank fraud.True60% confidence8 sourcesOct 19, 2026Donald Trump has been mugshotted, tried, fined, and shot.Said by AThe sources support the mugshot (Fulton County, August 2023), the criminal trial (hush-money conviction), and being shot (July 2024 assassination attempt, with a bullet striking his ear). No source addresses a fine, so that element is unconfirmed rather than contradicted, and the extraction faithfully reflects the passage.True90% confidence7 sourcesOct 19, 2026Donald Trump has been shot at.Said by AMultiple tier1 sources (Reuters, AP, FBI, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact) confirm Trump was shot at and wounded in the ear at the July 13, 2024 Butler rally, and that a Secret Service agent fired at an armed man near his West Palm Beach golf course on September 15, 2024. The claim matches the post's own reference to being 'shot at, almost shot at again' and is not contradicted by any source.True65% confidence4 sourcesOct 19, 2026Patriot Mobile has contributed millions to organizations defending the First and Second Amendments, the sanctity of life, and supporting the military, veterans, and first responders for over 12 years.A primary SEC filing from October 2026 states that Patriot Mobile contributes millions of dollars each year to organizations defending the First and Second Amendments, the sanctity of life, and the military, veterans, and first responders. The 'over 12 years' timeframe appears only in a 2025 company press release, and all supporting material comes from the company itself, so confidence is capped.True85% confidence4 sourcesOct 19, 2026Article 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make laws regulating elections.Said by AArticle I, Section 4 (the Elections Clause) expressly gives Congress the power to "make or alter" the regulations for holding elections for Senators and Representatives, so the core assertion holds. The sources limit that power to federal elections and say Congress has no general authority over state and local elections, so the claim is accurate only with that scope. The extraction is faithful to the post, which makes the same unqualified statement.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True68% confidence6 sourcesOct 19, 2026There are over 1,600 voter fraud cases currently under investigation.Said by AThe claim matches the post's own words and is supported by government figures: HSI and DHS officials reported about 1,600 voter-fraud cases under investigation in September 2026, and CNN cites 1,620 open investigations as of mid-September. No source shows a different count on 2026-10-19, though the figure dates from mid-September and the cases are investigations, not confirmed fraud.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True90% confidence8 sourcesOct 19, 2026Donald Trump signed two executive orders attempting to create new federal voting rules.Said by ASources confirm Trump signed two election executive orders: one in March 2025 on proof of citizenship and mail ballot deadlines, and one on March 31, 2026 (EO 14399) creating a federal citizenship list and restricting mail ballots, which AP calls his second attempt to set national election rules. Courts have blocked parts of both orders, but that does not contradict the claim that he signed them to create new federal voting rules.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True80% confidence5 sourcesOct 19, 2026Al Sayed proposed amending the Second Amendment to replace the right to bear arms with a right to health care.Said by AMultiple outlets, including CNN's KFile (via HuffPost, tier2) and The Reload, which reviewed the transcript of an April 2023 YouTube video, report El-Sayed saying the Second Amendment's right to bear arms should be replaced with a right to health care. The campaign said the old comments do not reflect his current beliefs but did not deny making them, and the claim's wording matches the quoted remark; the sources note the remark was made after the Covenant School shooting and that it was later made private.True85% confidence5 sourcesOct 19, 2026The Bill of Rights is a document of negative liberties that restricts the government from violating specific rights.Said by AMultiple sources, including the National Archives' summary of the Bill of Rights and scholarly/legal analyses (Posner-quoted negative liberties, UChicago and NCCU law reviews), establish that the Bill of Rights restricts government action rather than granting positive entitlements. The claim matches the post's core point; the post's own 'negative liberties' framing is consistent with the sources, and the claim's wording is a faithful paraphrase of the passage.True85% confidence2 sourcesOct 19, 2026El Sayed suggested a tweak to the Constitution that would eliminate the Second Amendment.Said by ACNN and The Reload both quote El-Sayed's April 2023 video asking, "What if we tweaked the Constitution, amended the amendment, and instead of the right to bear arms, we change it to the right to have health care?" That matches the claim's core: he floated a constitutional tweak that would eliminate the Second Amendment's right to bear arms. The campaign's response that he respects the Second Amendment does not contradict the quoted proposal.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True80% confidence8 sourcesOct 19, 2026Medicare for All would replace existing public and private health insurance with a single universal insurance program operated by the federal government.The claim matches the plan as described in the bill text and in multiple fact-checks and analyses: Medicare for All would replace the existing public-private financing system with one federally operated universal program. Private insurance would be restricted to supplemental coverage rather than abolished outright, and the post's wording 'system for financing health care' was faithfully paraphrased as 'health insurance', so this does not change the verdict. Describes a proposal as of 2026-10-19, not an enacted law.True80% confidence4 sourcesOct 19, 2026Medicare for All would eliminate Medicaid for low-income households.Multiple sources state that Medicare for All would replace Medicaid, including PolitiFact's explanation of Sanders' bill and KFF's analysis that a Medicare-for-All plan would eliminate most or all of Medicaid. The claim matches the passage's wording, and the sources do not contradict it; the House Budget Committee release repeats the claim nearly verbatim, so it adds little independent weight.
