89 claims
False95% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026The 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.Said by BThe claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump is contradicted by multiple authoritative sources, including AP, FactCheck.org, Reuters, and PolitiFact, which found no evidence of fraud that could have changed the outcome. The claim is a faithful extraction of the post's assertion, so the verdict grades it directly.False85% confidence5 sourcesOct 26, 2026Donald Trump has settled eight different wars during his second term.Said by BThe claim that Trump settled eight wars during his second term is contradicted by multiple fact-checkers (AP, Snopes, CNN, Reuters-style FACT FOCUS) who found the figure highly exaggerated: at least two listed 'wars' (Egypt-Ethiopia dam dispute, Serbia-Kosovo) were never wars, and others such as Rwanda-Congo and Cambodia-Thailand saw fresh fighting. The extraction faithfully reflects the post's 'settling eight different wars, which is nice'; the post's own rhetorical framing is the claimant's, and the fact-checkers' dismissal is the decisive independent record.False70% confidence5 sourcesOct 26, 2026The Biden administration brought 15 to 20 million illegal aliens into the United States.Said by BThe claim that Biden brought in 15 to 20 million illegal aliens is not supported by the sources. The best available measures show roughly 7 to 11 million border encounters (which count events, not unique entries) and a population increase of about 4 to 10 million, both well short of 15 to 20 million.False65% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026There are 30 to 40 million illegal aliens in the United States.Said by BAs of 2026-10-26, the sources' current estimates put the illegal alien population far below 30 to 40 million: about 13.5 million (CIS, July 2026), 15.8 million (MPI, mid-2024), and 18.6 million (FAIR, March 2025), with PolitiFact noting that the highest research estimate it found was 16.8 million. The claim's figure is roughly double the highest estimate, and the sources explicitly reject much higher numbers. The one range that could be read as reaching that level, DHS's 11-22 million pre-crisis population plus at least 10 million entrants in a congressional letter, is a sum of older, unreconciled figures rather than a current estimate.False72% confidence6 sourcesOct 26, 2026Donald Trump ended DACA earlier in 2026.Said by BThe claim that Trump ended DACA earlier in 2026 is contradicted by the sources, which describe the program as still in effect despite administration efforts to undermine it. Reporting describes renewal delays, halted approvals for new applicants, and enforcement against recipients, but no formal termination. The claim is a faithful extraction of the post's 'Trump ended, thankfully, DACA earlier this year.'False60% confidence9 sourcesOct 26, 2026Violent communist Islamist insurrectionists are targeting symbols in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Belgium to show contempt for those countries.The claim that violent communist Islamist insurrectionists deliberately target national symbols to show contempt is not supported. AP's fact check (Oct 20, 2026) found that no group had been singled out for the French riots and that authorities had not linked immigrants to the rioting, and the sources that name Islamist or communist actors are opinion or low-credibility pieces that do not address deliberate symbol-targeting. The extraction is faithful to the passage, and the claim was made on 2026-10-26, before the later Reuters coverage of the Trappes shooting, which is unrelated.False70% confidence12 sourcesOct 26, 2026The Democratic Party in the United States has formed an alliance between communists, socialists, and Islamists.Said by BThe claim that the Democratic Party has formed an alliance with communists, socialists and Islamists repeats a broad allegation that AP and PolitiFact fact-checks, dated July 2026, found inaccurate. The sources show only a small DSA-aligned faction, no openly communist candidate ever elected, and most Democratic candidates not running as socialists; none document a party-level alliance with Islamists, and the claim as posted (October 26) is not contradicted by any later development.False55% confidence3 sourcesOct 26, 2026In the Middle East, desecrating a memorial or testament to Islam or a holy warrior results in punishments such as having a hand cut off, torture, or 20 to 25 years in jail.Said by BThe sources do not support the claimed Middle East penalties of hand amputation, torture, or 20 to 25 years for desecrating Islamic memorials. The Middle Eastern desecration and blasphemy laws they cover (Algeria, UAE) set far lower prison terms, such as 3 months to 3 years for grave destruction in Algeria, while the only 30-year penalty found is Brunei's, which is not in the Middle East. The claim also departs from the passage's wording on scope, since the sources concern graves and places of worship rather than memorials to 'holy warriors'.False85% confidence7 sourcesOct 24, 2026Susan Collins is leading by five to ten points in the Maine election.Said by GThe claim that Collins led by five to ten points in the Maine Senate race is contradicted by polling around October 24, 2026. The Marist poll (Oct 22-25) had Jackson up 2 points, and Bangor Daily News reported that Collins had not led any public poll since late September and that most October polls had Jackson ahead or tied. Later polls showing Jackson ahead by 4 to 9 points do not change the verdict as of the claim date.False75% confidence7 sourcesOct 7, 2026California Governor Gavin Newsom stated that President Trump is dangerous and deranged and is calling for the murder of 10 plus million Americans in Southern California.Said by CNewsom did call Trump 'deranged and dangerous,' but the claim that Trump is calling for the murder of 10+ million Americans is the part that fails. FactCheck.org examined the remarks and rejected the reading that Trump was advocating an attack, and the White House said Democrats misrepresented him. The 'attack on 10+ million residents' wording came from Newsom's press office rather than Newsom's own X post, and the sources do not show that Newsom himself used the word 'murder.'Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Mixed55% confidence6 sourcesOct 26, 2026John Thune and Mitch McConnell blocked Donald Trump's legislative agenda.Said by BSources support that Thune blocked Trump's SAVE America Act by refusing to end the filibuster, but they contradict the broader claim that he blocked the president's legislative agenda, since the Senate under Thune passed much of it. No source shows McConnell, who is no longer majority leader and was largely absent, blocking Trump's agenda in 2026. The post's claim is that Thune blocked Trump and that McConnell did too; the extraction's wording matches that.Mixed60% confidence8 sourcesOct 24, 2026New Hampshire has been a solid Republican state for many decades.Said by DSources support the historical reading: New Hampshire was a reliably Republican presidential state from 1856 to 1988, with only a few exceptions, and was dominated by Republicans for much of the 20th century. Read as an ongoing condition ('has been... for many decades' up to now), the claim is contradicted, since sources describe the state as a purple or swing state since the 1990s and as of 2026. The post itself says it was solid Republican for many years and then changed.
