False82% confidence5 sourcesOct 26, 2026The U.S. has the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years.The claim that the U.S. has the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years is contradicted by the FBI's 2025 data, which show the violent crime rate at 327.6 per 100,000 and the murder rate tied with 1955-56 as the lowest, not a 126-year low. PolitiFact and FactCheck.org both found the 126-year framing goes beyond the record, and the 126-year figure appears to derive from homicide projections rather than the overall violent crime rate.False65% confidence5 sourcesOct 26, 2026The 60 Plus Association represents more than 13 million seniors.The claim that the 60 Plus Association represents more than 13 million seniors is not supported. The sources report membership figures of about 475,000 (cited by critic Minnick, who attributed it to a published lobbying report) and 300,000 (cited by founder Jim Martin, who said none of them pay dues), both far below 13 million, and no source gives a figure near 13 million. The claim matches the claimant's own passage, so the extraction is faithful.False85% confidence5 sourcesOct 26, 2026The ROAD to Housing Act passed the House floor with a vote of 294 to 134.No source reports a House floor vote of 294 to 134 on the ROAD to Housing Act. Primary sources give House passage tallies of 390-9 (Congress.gov roll call no. 57), 396-13 (House Financial Services Committee and Rep. DeLauro), and 358-32 (Rep. Langworthy and a House.gov article). The claimant's passage refers to a CLARITY vote of 294-134, so the extracted claim appears to have mixed up the bill.
