False75% confidence6 sourcesNov 11, 2026The 119th Congress enacted the largest tax cut in US history for working and middle class earners.Said by AThe claim that the 119th Congress enacted the largest tax cut in US history is contradicted by PolitiFact, which rated the superlative Mostly False. Measured as a share of GDP, the One Big Beautiful Bill is tied for sixth-largest on new cuts and third-largest when combined with the extended 2017 cuts. The enactment itself is not disputed; the superlative is.False72% confidence4 sourcesNov 11, 2026The U.S. House is considering the impeachment of Secretary Hegseth.As of the claim date (2026-11-11), the House had already acted: on Tuesday, Nov. 10, it turned aside the impeachment resolution against Hegseth, so it was no longer considering it. The claim matches the pre-vote situation reported on Nov. 9, and the post's 'soon' framing points to that vote, but the present tense is contradicted by the Nov. 10 result, though Democrats may revive the effort in January.Mixed50% confidence8 sourcesNov 11, 2026The United States has the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years.Said by ASources support a sharp 2025 drop in violent crime and a 2026 homicide trend that the Council on Criminal Justice and others say is on pace for the lowest level in at least 126 years. However, no source directly states that the overall violent crime rate is the lowest in 126 years; that superlative is applied to murder rates, and those are mid-year projections. FactCheck.org disputes the attribution of the decline to Trump, not the statistic itself.Mixed65% confidence6 sourcesNov 11, 2026Jim Jordan served as chairman of the Oversight and Judiciary committees.Said by AThe record supports Jim Jordan chairing the House Judiciary Committee (since 2023), but sources contradict the claim that he chaired Oversight: NBC News and other reports describe him as ranking member (top Republican) on Oversight, though one unrated outlet says he 'previously chaired' it. The extraction faithfully reflects the post's 'chairman of two major committees' claim.Mixed60% confidence6 sourcesNov 11, 2026Steve Scalise is no longer in his leadership position.Under the literal reading, the claim is contradicted: as of 2026-11-11 Scalise still holds the House Majority Leader post, and sources published 2026-11-10 still describe him that way until the new Congress convenes Jan. 3. Under the intended reading (he lost his bid to lead House Republicans), one unrated Reuters report published 2026-11-10 says Jordan won the GOP leadership vote 106-73 over Scalise, so that reading is supported but rests on a single low-credibility source. The extracted claim also drops the post's narrower meaning, that Scalise failed to hold onto his position in the leadership contest.True95% confidence4 sourcesNov 11, 2026Mike Bost is the Chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee.Said by AMultiple primary sources, including the committee's own website (published 2026-10-27), the House Clerk's committee roster (2026-10-26), and Bost's official site (2026-10-10), identify Mike Bost as chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, consistent with the claim as of 2026-11-11. The claim faithfully reflects the passage, which attributes the same title to Bost.True93% confidence5 sourcesNov 11, 2026A statue of Billy Graham was added to the U.S. Capitol on behalf of North Carolina.Said by AThe sources show a bronze Billy Graham statue was installed in National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol on behalf of North Carolina, unveiled May 16, 2024, replacing the Charles Aycock statue. The post's word "just" describes the 2024 addition as recent, but the claim itself, that the statue was added on behalf of North Carolina, is confirmed.True95% confidence7 sourcesNov 11, 2026Veterans Day is observed on November 11, 2026.Multiple primary sources confirm that Veterans Day is observed on November 11, 2026. The White House proclamation sets November 11, 2026 as Veterans Day, and the Michigan state proclamation and U.S. Embassy Finland notice agree. The claim matches the post's title, which carries the same date.True90% confidence5 sourcesNov 11, 2026The United States has experienced the largest decline in prescription drug costs in 60 years.Said by AThe sources consistently report that US prescription drug prices fell 3.1% in the year ending July 2026, the steepest annual decline since 1963 per BLS CPI data, and FactCheck.org confirms this as true. The sources dispute what caused the drop, but the claim asserts only the decline itself, so the disputed attribution does not contradict it.True95% confidence5 sourcesNov 11, 2026Jim Jordan will be the new Republican leader in the 120th Congress.Said by AHouse Republicans elected Rep. Jim Jordan on November 10, 2026 to lead their conference as minority leader in the 120th Congress, by a 106-73 vote over Steve Scalise. The claim's future-tense framing matches the record as of the November 11, 2026 posting date. The sources also show the post's 'Republican leader' is the House GOP's top post, the minority leader role.True80% confidence4 sourcesNov 11, 2026Republicans in the 119th Congress passed 1,000 measures across the House floor.Said by AThe Congress.gov floor-action tally, published 2026-10-30, lists 1,000 measures passed or agreed to in the House in the 119th Congress, which matches the claim. Sources differ on counting: Scribe notes the House total includes over 200 simple and concurrent resolutions that never become law, and Snopes's earlier 922 count was as of September 14.True60% confidence5 sourcesNov 11, 2026Democrats in the 119th Congress caused three government shutdowns totaling 120 days.Said by AThe sources support three funding lapses under the 119th Congress (a 42-43 day full shutdown from Oct 1, 2025, a brief DHS lapse of about two days, and a 76-day DHS shutdown) totaling roughly 120 days, so the count and total hold. Attributing the shutdowns to Democrats is a contested reading: sources describe Democratic refusals and pressure, but Republicans resisted the ACA subsidy demands, and the 'two longest shutdowns' framing mixes a governmentwide record with a department-level one.
