True90% confidence5 sourcesOct 23, 2026Mike Johnson is the Speaker of the House.Multiple primary and tier1 sources dated around the claim's date (AP on 2026-10-17, Congressional Record entries from October 22 and 29, 2026 signed by Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House) confirm Mike Johnson held the office of Speaker of the House as of 2026-10-23. The claim is a present-state assertion and the post's referent resolves to the same Mike Johnson; no source indicates a change in office by that date.True70% confidence8 sourcesOct 23, 2026The Federal Reserve issued a report attributing approximately 30% of the increase in home prices to illegal immigration.Said by 2FThe Dallas Fed working paper, a preliminary draft, attributes roughly 30% of the total growth in home prices from 2021 to 2024 to unauthorized immigration, matching the claim's figure. The post said 'housing costs' and the claim says 'home prices', a minor wording difference. PolitiFact's 19% figure concerns rents, not home prices, and the paper's disclaimers that it does not reflect Fed System views do not contradict the claim.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True88% confidence5 sourcesOct 23, 2026The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit seeking to block the counting of 20,000 non-citizen ballots in California.The DOJ sued California on October 15, 2026 and sought to stop the state from counting mail ballots tied to about 20,000 people it alleges are likely noncitizens, which matches the claim. The 'non-citizen' label is the DOJ's allegation, which California disputes as unreliable, but the claim's core assertion about the lawsuit is well supported.True65% confidence8 sourcesOct 23, 2026Philip Morris International has made US-related investments of over 20 billion dollars since 2022.Said by APMI's own January 15, 2026 press release, filed with the SEC as an 8-K exhibit, states that the company has made over $20 billion of U.S.-related investments since 2022. No source contradicts this, but the coverage traces back to the company's own statement, so confidence is capped.True85% confidence5 sourcesOct 23, 2026The Trump administration made demands to Nevada regarding the counting of ballots from people who may not be citizens.The Trump administration sent Nevada demands tied to its list of possible noncitizen voters, including the DHS claim of 15,903 noncitizens and later reduction to 185 names, and it demanded that ballots from flagged individuals be handled as the post describes in other states. The claim's core, that the administration made demands to Nevada about counting ballots from people who may not be citizens, is supported by Reuters and Bloomberg; the sources do not detail a Nevada-specific ballot-counting demand in the same form as California, so the verdict is a directional true with moderate confidence.True85% confidence6 sourcesOct 23, 2026The Department of Justice began suing 30 states and D.C. last year to obtain unredacted voter rolls.Multiple sources, including ProPublica (tier2), CBS News (tier2), and the Brennan Center tracker, report that the DOJ sued 30 states and D.C. over unredacted voter rolls, with the suits beginning in September 2025, which is 'last year' relative to the October 2026 post. The claim's core assertion holds, and the post's 'last year' phrasing matches the sources' 2025 dating.True90% confidence9 sourcesOct 23, 2026The Department of Justice has arrested people for illegal voter registration or illegal voting in the last few weeks.Said by BAs of 2026-10-23, multiple sources confirm DOJ announced arrests and charges of people for illegal voting or fraudulent voter registration in the weeks before, including 28 charged in California on Oct 19 and 16 charged in an October 11-12 announcement, with further cases in other states. The claim's core (arrests in the last few weeks) is supported; the claim's 'arrested' framing is consistent with the sources, though some charged individuals were arrested and others charged by complaint.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True90% confidence7 sourcesOct 23, 2026A Fox News poll shows a split of support for James Talarico and Ken Paxton in Texas.The claim matches the passage faithfully: a Fox News poll released October 21, 2026 found Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton tied at 49% each among likely Texas voters, a down-the-middle split. That was already published before the October 23 posting, so the claim was true on that date, and no later development changes it.True85% confidence7 sourcesOct 23, 2026A Fox News poll shows 51% of Texas voters want Republicans to control the Senate and 47% want Democrats to control the Senate.The Fox News poll of Texas likely voters (conducted Oct 15-19, 2026, released Oct 21) found 51% preferred Republican control of the U.S. Senate and 47% preferred Democratic control, matching the claim. The claim's figures and framing are faithful to the passage, and the poll was already public by the 2026-10-23 claim date.True60% confidence6 sourcesOct 23, 202628% of voters who consider themselves Republicans but not MAGA do not support Ken Paxton.The Fox News poll conducted October 15-19 and released October 21, 2026 found 'nearly 3 in 10' non-MAGA Republicans backing Talarico over Paxton, which matches the 28% figure in the post. The sources report that support for Talarico, not non-support for Paxton, so the wording is a close paraphrase, and all the 28% figures trace back to a single Fox poll.True70% confidence5 sourcesOct 23, 2026Interest in the election is 69% among Democrats and 61% among Republicans according to a poll.The Fox News Poll reported by Fox News on 2026-10-22 found 69% of Democrats 'extremely interested' in the election versus 61% of Republicans, matching the claim, and that poll is the one the post cites. The claim's 'interest' is a simplified label for 'extremely interested,' and the figures are not contradicted by any source as of 2026-10-23. Confidence is capped because only one outlet directly reports these figures; other polls (NPR/PBS/Marist, CNN) report different enthusiasm measures.True92% confidence5 sourcesOct 23, 2026The President announced the waiving of sanctions against Russia.Said by CMultiple tier-1 and tier-2 sources report that President Trump signed an executive order on October 16, 2026 waiving key sanctions and tariffs on Russia under the Graham Act, so the claim that he announced the waiver is supported. The post's qualifier "even if temporarily" is not graded as a separate element, though sources describe the waiver as open-ended rather than fixed-term.
