154 claims
Can’t tell30% confidence8 sourcesAug 14, 2026The USS Abraham Lincoln is currently operating as a floating POW camp.Said by AThe post uses a figurative comparison ('it's like the USS Abraham Lincoln is a floating POW camp at this point'), and the extracted claim drops the simile and states it literally, which the passage does not say. Sources document crew complaints about food, plumbing, mental health and a long deployment, and the Defense Secretary disputed the reports, but no source addresses the literal claim either way, so as of 2026-08-14 it cannot be graded true or false.Can’t tell30% confidence7 sourcesAug 14, 2026The Trump administration is responsible for the treatment of active duty soldiers that includes starvation and lack of morale.Said by AThe sources do not address starvation or lack of morale among active-duty sailors or soldiers as of 2026-08-14, and the post's specific account of sailors on an aircraft carrier is not covered. Related sources document different issues (2025 food insecurity claims from an unrated op-ed, and 2026 medical-care investigations after a Kuwait drone strike), which neither confirm nor refute the claim's starvation allegation.Can’t tell30% confidence5 sourcesAug 14, 2026Spirulina was clinically used by Soviet scientists after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident to clear radiation and reduce radiation burden in children.Said by ANone of the provided sources documents Soviet scientists using spirulina after Chernobyl. The only spirulina-specific mention is an unrated vendor page (source 11) describing an unsourced children's study, which is not independent or primary evidence, so the claim cannot be graded in either direction. The extracted claim faithfully follows the passage, which is the claimant's own unsourced assertion.Can’t tell60% confidence6 sourcesAug 14, 2026Donald Trump is selling presidential pardons for $1 million to $2 million each.Said by AThe sources document allegations of pay-to-play pardons and paid pardon brokers charging up to about $3 million, but none shows Trump himself selling pardons at $1 million to $2 million each, and the White House denies it. The post frames this as accusations it finds credible, while the extracted claim states it as fact, so the verdict grades the factual claim as stated (the post itself only reports accusations). As of 2026-08-14, the sources do not confirm the core assertion and do not contradict it.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell30% confidence5 sourcesAug 14, 2026The U.S. security complex is attempting to obtain data from the conflict in Ukraine to train AI for warfare.Said by 5BNone of the provided sources reports that the U.S. security complex is seeking or obtaining Ukrainian battlefield data for AI training, so the claim can be neither confirmed nor refuted. The sources show Ukraine collecting and opening its data to partners and note its value to the United States, but the claim's attribution to a Schmidt statement is also not checked here. The claim also drops the speaker attribution, presenting Eric Schmidt's assertion as established fact.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell45% confidence6 sourcesAug 14, 2026Donald Trump stated that his administration will not regulate open source models and open weights.Said by 5BNo source quotes Trump himself saying his administration will not regulate open-source or open-weight models. Anonymously sourced reports from August 4, 2026 say the administration told AI developers it will not put open-weight models through voluntary safety tests, which is narrower than 'will not regulate' and is not attributed to Trump. The claim is not contradicted, so it cannot be graded true or false on Trump's own words.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell30% confidence5 sourcesAug 14, 2026The speaker gave their DNA information to a company associated with the wife of a Google executive.Said by 5BSources confirm that 23andMe was co-founded by Anne Wojcicki, the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, so the company link holds. However, no source addresses whether the speaker personally gave DNA to 23andMe, and the speaker's own statements in the passage cannot corroborate it; the passage is also self-contradictory ('I didn't' followed by 'I made that mistake').Can’t tell30% confidence4 sourcesAug 14, 2026The Chinese government claims its biological warfare program is ahead of the United States' program.Said by 5BNo source reports the Chinese government claiming its biological warfare program is ahead of the United States' program, so the central assertion cannot be graded. The closest material is China's declared position that it has never had an active BW program, which sits uneasily with boasting of a superior program, but a denial is not a contradiction of this specific claim; the claim also appears to restate a passing remark in the post.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesAug 14, 2026The federal government has recorded in Treasury documents that there are financial savings when older people die prematurely.None of the provided sources states that Treasury documents record federal savings from older people dying prematurely, so the central assertion can be neither confirmed nor refuted. The closest material is a footnote (source 9) noting that some cost reduction occurs when people die before receiving benefits, citing a CBO document rather than Treasury, and research on estate and medical spending (sources 10 and 11) that does not address government records.Can’t tell60% confidence7 sourcesAug 14, 2026Artificial intelligence is being used to design pathogenic proteins.While scientific literature confirms artificial intelligence is widely used to engineer proteins for therapeutics and researchers warn of dual-use biosecurity risks, the provided sources do not contain evidence confirming or refuting whether AI is being used to design pathogenic proteins.
