17 claims

Can’t tell35% confidence6 sourcesOct 12, 2026Jim Risch voted for the law banning Russian energy imports in 2022.The sources do not contain a roll-call or other official record of Jim Risch voting for the 2022 Russian energy import ban. The only direct support is an unrated opinion piece [4], and the social media posts [5][6] repeat the claim without independent backing. Risch's 2022 X post [8] applauds the administration's move to ban Russian oil imports, which shows public support but not a vote. The extracted claim matches the passage's wording in substance.Can’t tell40% confidence3 sourcesOct 11, 2026Jim Risch voted 14 times to keep the Iran war going.Source 2 says Risch has voted repeatedly against measures to end the Iran war, which supports the general direction of the claim. No source gives the figure of 14 votes, and none contradicts it, so the specific count cannot be verified. The extracted claim matches the claimant's passage, which also says 14 votes.Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesOct 11, 2026More than 850 American soldiers have been permanently injured in the Iran war.The claim's figure of more than 850 is close to the Pentagon's reported wounded total (865 as of Oct 10, 2026, per sources [3] and [9]), but every source counts all wounded troops, not those permanently injured. No source reports a permanent-injury count, so the central 'permanently injured' assertion is not addressed. The extracted claim matches the passage's wording, and the sources are consistent with the 850+ figure as of 2026-10-11 for wounded, not permanent injuries.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesOct 11, 2026There are 5,000 Idahoans on active duty.None of the sources gives a total for Idahoans on active duty as of 2026-10-11. The only Idaho-specific headcount, about 3,000 Idaho National Guard soldiers, measures a different component, so it neither confirms nor refutes the 5,000 figure. The extracted claim matches the passage's figure and scope, so no extraction drift needs correcting.Can’t tell35% confidence2 sourcesOct 10, 2026Robyn Achilles and Todd Achilles have been married for 33 years.The sources corroborate that Todd Achilles is married to Robyn Achilles but none states the length of the marriage, so the central 33-year figure cannot be graded. The only source for 33 years is the claimant's own passage, which is not evidence; the passage spells the name 'Robin' while the claim and sources use 'Robyn'.
