False92% confidence5 sourcesOct 29, 2026Republicans passed the largest tax cut in U.S. history in 2024.The claim is false on both its superlative and its date. Tier1 fact-checkers (FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, BBC) found that the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was not the largest tax cut in U.S. history, and the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Republicans passed that year, is also not the largest (the Tax Foundation ranks it sixth). The extraction also added the year 2024, which the source passage does not state and the sources do not support.False80% confidence8 sourcesOct 29, 2026Democrats voted against the tax cuts passed by Republicans in 2024.As extracted, the claim refers to 2024, but the 2024 tax legislation was bipartisan: the House passed it 357-70 with broad Democratic support, and the Senate blocked it mainly through Republican opposition. The Democrats-unified-in-opposition record concerns the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), so the extracted year departs from the passage and the claim is false as written.False75% confidence6 sourcesOct 29, 2026The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spent nearly half a million dollars to secure a spot on the ballot in Alaska for an Arizona resident in the Senate race.The sources attribute the nearly half-million-dollar ballot-access spending to Republicans, not the DSCC. The DSCC spokesperson's statement, quoted in several outlets, accuses Republicans of 'spending nearly half a million dollars to secure a spot on the ballot in Alaska for an Arizona resident,' and Reuters reports that Republican super PACs sought to boost an Arizona-resident third-party candidate. The DSCC's own position is a denial of recruiting the second Dan Sullivan.
