True65% confidence7 sourcesOct 29, 2026The Department of Justice is investigating the recruitment of a spoiler candidate in the Alaska Senate race.Sources as of 2026-10-29 show the DOJ investigating the Sullivan candidacy as a possible conspiracy to confuse voters: NBC reported federal investigators were examining it and grand jury subpoenas were issued, and a source confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the investigation remains ongoing. The DOJ's lawsuit also seeks to pause certification 'pending an investigation' into votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan. The claim's wording matches the record, though the investigation's confirmation rests on an anonymous source and the sources do not separately confirm the DOJ's specific focus on recruitment.True90% confidence9 sourcesOct 29, 2026The Governor of Alaska announced that the state is investigating potential violations of state law regarding the spoiler candidate.Multiple tier1 and tier2 sources (AP, The Hill, BBC, Forbes, Politico, CNN, ABC) confirm that Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy ordered the state Department of Public Safety to investigate whether the alleged spoiler-candidate scheme violated Alaska law, so the claim was true as of 2026-10-29. The claim is a slight generalization of the passage's 'looking at it in terms of the state law'; the sources also note the investigation extends to whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted, and that Peltola's campaign denies involvement.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesOct 29, 2026The group known as 'The Bloc' is further left than 'The Squad'.The claim that 'The Bloc' is further left than 'The Squad' is a comparative ideological judgment; sources describe The Bloc as DSA-backed and 'even more openly socialist' than the Squad (a non-authoritative tier-unrated blog piece quoting a campaign-style framing), and describe the Squad as the furthest left faction of the Democratic Caucus (Wikipedia), but no authoritative source directly grades the two groups against each other on a left-right scale. The claim is the claimant's own assertion in extracted form, and the sources only partially engage the comparison, so it cannot be cleanly graded.
