108 claims
True85% confidence5 sourcesAug 4, 2026Rosie O'Donnell stated that Kamala Harris won the 2024 election.Said by 3BThe claim asks whether O'Donnell stated that Kamala Harris won the 2024 election, which is an act-of-speaking claim. Multiple outlets quote her on Jim Acosta's podcast saying "I think Kamala won," so the statement is well documented. The extraction faithfully paraphrases the post, and whether Harris actually won is a separate question the sources do not need to settle here.True88% confidence6 sourcesAug 4, 2026The Dow Jones Industrial Average is almost at 54,000.Said by BOn 2026-08-04 the Dow closed at 54,085.88, a record, so it was within about 0.2% of 54,000 and the claim's 'almost at 54,000' holds as a rounded description, though it had technically just passed that level. Later sources show the Dow falling to about 51,770 by 2026-10-30, but that change does not affect the claim as of its posting date.True85% confidence5 sourcesAug 4, 2026Migrants are overwhelming the Spanish border in Ceuta.As of 2026-08-04, the Reuters report from 2026-08-03 describes Ceuta as overwhelmed by a mass migrant border rush, with thousands still in the territory and reception centres overwhelmed, and PBS and the Guardia Civil describe migrants overwhelming the border and police. The claim is a faithful paraphrase of the passage. Later sources show the mass crossing largely reversed (about 69,500 returned to Morocco per Spain), but thousands remained and the pressure on the border and city continued.True65% confidence5 sourcesAug 4, 2026Seth Moulton called for prosecuting ICE and granting citizenship to undocumented immigrants.Multiple sources show Moulton called for ICE agents to be prosecuted (Jan–Feb 2026 and earlier), and his January 2026 video also called for a 'very clear pathway to citizenship' for immigrants. The claim's 'granting citizenship' is a looser paraphrase of a pathway to citizenship, and the arrest context in the passage is not graded.True70% confidence7 sourcesAug 4, 2026Independent journalist Nick Shirley was chased, threatened, and pelted with objects while reporting in Ceuta.Multiple outlets report, citing Shirley's video, that he was chased in Ceuta by a man who threw rocks and a bottle, threatened to stab him, and was escorted away by Spanish police, matching the claim as extracted from the post. Coverage is mostly echoed from Shirley's own footage and account, and the knife is not clearly visible in the video, so confidence is moderate.True70% confidence4 sourcesAug 4, 2026Aaron Rodgers confronted ESPN over its coverage of his vaccination status.Multiple August 2026 reports say Rodgers, on The Pat McAfee Show (airing on ESPN), criticized ESPN's coverage of his 2021 vaccination status, calling the network 'gutless' and questioning its priorities. 'Confronted' is a fair paraphrase of that on-air rebuke, and the dropped 'obsessive' qualifier does not change the core claim; no source contradicts it.Can’t tell45% confidence5 sourcesAug 17, 2026Peggy Flanagan is leading in the polls for the Minnesota Senate race with a greater than 90% chance of winning.Said by BThe sources show Flanagan leading Tafoya in post-primary polls, including a Newsweek-reported Quantus poll from September and TIPP showing a narrow lead, so the lead is broadly supported. However, no source covers the claimed >90% chance of winning as of the claim date of 2026-08-17; the only ~90% figure is a Kalshi market price from 2026-10-31, and it is a forecast rather than a checkable fact about that date.Can’t tell35% confidence11 sourcesAug 17, 2026The Minnesota Attorney General is exploring charges against the journalists who exposed the voter-vouching system.No source reports that the Minnesota Attorney General was exploring charges against the journalists as of 2026-08-17. The sources show that Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, not the state AG, filed felony charges against O'Keefe and Higby on Oct. 28, 2026, which is after the claim date, and the AG's Oct. 20 election report form does not mention such charges. The extraction is a faithful paraphrase of the passage.Can’t tell35% confidence7 sourcesAug 17, 2026A GoFundMe account set up for the family of Lindsay Clancy has raised $750,000.Said by BNo source gives the fundraiser's total on the claim date of 2026-08-17. The earliest dated figure is over $1 million by Aug. 21, which makes $750,000 four days earlier plausible but unconfirmed. The claim's extraction matches the post's wording, and the figure is not contradicted.Can’t tell30% confidence4 sourcesAug 17, 2026A Fox News legal analyst stated there is a case for child endangerment against Patrick Clancy because he left his children alone for less than an hour to buy laxatives and food.Said by BThe claim departs from the passage: the post says the analyst claimed a case for endangerment because Patrick left 'her' (Lindsay) alone with the kids, not that he left 'his children alone', and no source reports any Fox legal analyst making an endangerment claim. Sources do confirm the CVS and food errand on Jan. 24, 2023, but not the endangerment statement.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell35% confidence8 sourcesAug 17, 2026WNBA television ratings have increased by 45% since Caitlin Clark joined the league.Said by BThe sources confirm that WNBA ratings rose after Caitlin Clark's arrival, but none gives a cumulative 45% increase since she joined. The nearby figures (a 170% ESPN jump in 2024, a 15% all-network rise in 2026, and ABC/ESPN up 5%) do not establish or refute the 45% total, so the magnitude cannot be graded.Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesAug 4, 2026The United States has admitted more than 3 million Muslims.Said by BNo source gives a cumulative count of Muslims the U.S. has admitted. The nearest figures are population stocks (about 3.4 million foreign-born from Muslim-majority countries in 2024 per CIS, and 5.5 million Muslims per Pew 2026) and partial admission series (roughly 40,000 to 96,000 Muslim-nation green cards a year, about 310,700 Muslim refugees from 2002 to 2019), which do not sum to a total admissions figure. The claim also drops the post's 'since 9/11' scope, so it reads more broadly than the passage.
