True90% confidence6 sourcesOct 12, 2026Dan Osborn is a candidate for the United States Senate in Nebraska.Multiple tier1 and tier2 sources (PolitiFact, C-SPAN, CNN, NBC News) describe Dan Osborn as an independent candidate for U.S. Senate in Nebraska, and Ballotpedia and Wikipedia report he entered the 2026 race in July 2025, so he was a candidate as of 2026-10-12. The claim matches the claimant's passage 'OSBORN LIFELONG INDEPENDENT FOR SENATE; NEBRASKA' without widening scope.True60% confidence7 sourcesOct 11, 2026The average price of gas is $4.36.The claim's $4.36 figure is within a cent of the AAA national average of $4.35 reported for Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026, so it holds within rounding on the claim's date. Other sources cite $4.37 for early October, which is a different date, and the sources do not show the exact $4.36 figure.True60% confidence6 sourcesOct 11, 2026The average price of diesel is $6.28.The claimed national average diesel price of $6.28 on 2026-10-11 is within one cent of the $6.27 AAA figure reported for that date, and the EIA weekly series (6.199 for Oct 5) is consistent with a price near $6.2 to $6.3 in early October. The claim's extracted figure matches the passage's '$6.28'. The main support is unrated news reprints of AAA data, so confidence is moderate.Can’t tell45% confidence7 sourcesOct 12, 2026Dan Osborn visited Fullerton, Neligh, Stanton, and Fremont for campaign events during the weekend of October 10-12, 2026.The sources show Osborn's campaign scheduled town halls in Fremont and Fullerton on October 11, 2026, and in Neligh on Sunday, October 11, but none confirms the visits took place. Stanton is not mentioned in any source, and the only account that the four stops happened is the claimant's own Facebook post, which cannot corroborate the claim.Can’t tell30% confidence3 sourcesOct 11, 2026It has been 534 days since Pete Ricketts held a town hall meeting.The sources do not give the date of Pete Ricketts's most recent town hall, so the 534-day count cannot be checked. The only day count in the sources is a 524-day figure from a Chadron radio blog post, and the sources also dispute what counts as a town hall.
