False82% confidence5 sourcesNov 10, 2026The U.S. has the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years.Said by AThe 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.False90% confidence4 sourcesNov 10, 2026The 119th Congress experienced a government shutdown lasting 120 days.Said by AThe 2025 shutdown, the only 119th Congress shutdown the sources describe as the longest, lasted about 42-43 days, not 120. The post's '120 days' appears to refer to combined Democratic-era shutdowns, which the claim restates as a single shutdown, and the sources do not show a 120-day total either.False85% confidence5 sourcesNov 10, 2026The Senate did not pass any appropriations bills in the 119th Congress.Said by AThe claim that the Senate passed no appropriations bills in the 119th Congress is contradicted by primary Senate and Congress.gov records showing Senate passage of funding measures, including continuing resolutions that were enacted into law. The post's remark that the Senate passed no appropriations bills is a broader political claim, but the extracted claim is a checkable factual assertion and the sources refute it.
