True90% confidence5 sourcesNov 10, 2026Speaker Johnson spoke to reporters on Capitol Hill on November 9, 2026.Multiple tier1 and other sources (C-SPAN, AP, LiveNOW from FOX, CNN) report that House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke to reporters at the Capitol on Monday, November 9, 2026, and the post itself is dated November 9, 2026 with the same title; the claim faithfully reflects the passage.True90% confidence4 sourcesNov 3, 2026The United States House of Representatives was established in 1789.Multiple primary and tier1 sources state the House was created or first convened in 1789 (House.gov: 'In 1789, the House assembled for the first time'; House History Timeline: 'Since its creation in 1789'; Archives.gov: first met March 4, 1789; AP: House and Senate first convened in 1789). The claim's wording 'established in 1789' is slightly loose since the Constitution established the House in 1787, but the post's framing of 1789 as the House's founding year is supported and the core date is not contradicted.True90% confidence5 sourcesNov 3, 2026Polls in Los Angeles are open until 8 pm.On November 3, 2026 (Election Day), Los Angeles County's official registrar and multiple news outlets report that in-person polls and vote centers were open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., so the claim that polls were open until 8 pm holds. The claim matches the post's wording and no source contradicts it.True90% confidence7 sourcesNov 3, 2026Polls in Louisiana are open from 6 am to 8 pm.Multiple reliable sources, including the Louisiana Secretary of State (tier1, published 2026-11-02), state that polls on Election Day, Nov. 3, 2026 open at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. A local registrar notes that municipal/parochial-only elections open at 7 a.m., but the claim concerns the congressional election day, which the sources confirm at 6 a.m.-8 p.m.; the claim matches the post's wording and the posted date.True95% confidence5 sourcesNov 2, 2026Abdul El-Sayed is a candidate for the United States Senate.Multiple reliable sources published around the claim date (2026-11-02) show Abdul El-Sayed as the Democratic nominee and candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, facing Republican Mike Rogers in the Nov. 3 election. The claim's core assertion is directly supported; the extraction faithfully reflects the passage's reference to him as a Senate candidate.True90% confidence4 sourcesNov 2, 2026Abdul El-Sayed stated that the free flow of information is a beautiful thing.Said by BMultiple independent sources (Legal Insurrection transcript, WION, Washington Examiner quoting the interview, headtopics) report El-Sayed saying on 60 Minutes that 'the free flow of information is actually a beautiful thing,' matching the claim. The claim is a faithful extraction of the passage; the surrounding post's framing (labeling him 'radical socialist' and linking the quote to locker rooms) is commentary the claim does not adopt.True75% confidence5 sourcesNov 2, 2026Abdul El-Sayed stated that parents' concerns about children being exposed to certain information are outdated.Multiple outlets quote El-Sayed in his 60 Minutes interview saying that the notion of preventing a child from being exposed to something the parent finds disagreeable is "profoundly outdated" (NY Post, Daily Wire, WION, Daily Mail). The claim's paraphrase, that parents' concerns about exposure to information are outdated, fairly matches that statement, though the sources are mostly tier3 or unrated reports of one interview rather than tier1 coverage.True70% confidence2 sourcesOct 31, 2026Juan Gomez Santiago was arrested in South Carolina.The DHS primary source states that ICE arrested Juan Gomez Santiago, an illegal alien from Mexico, in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 9, so the core arrest-location claim is supported. The claim omits the passage's 'worst of the worst' characterization, which the sources neither confirm nor contradict, and the Daily Signal report merely repeats the White House account.True85% confidence6 sourcesOct 31, 2026Juan Gomez Santiago has an arrest for second-degree domestic violence.A DHS primary source (Source 4) states that Juan Gomez Santiago, an illegal alien from Mexico arrested by ICE in Charleston, SC on October 9, has a criminal history including an arrest for second-degree domestic violence, matching the claim. Daily Signal (Source 6) repeats the same details attributed to the White House, so it adds no independent corroboration; the extracted claim faithfully reflects the passage.True60% confidence4 sourcesOct 31, 2026The Washington Post stated that its polls are likely inaccurate because they cannot get GOP voters, center-right voters, or centrist independents to respond.Sources quoting a Washington Post article show its polling director acknowledged that Republicans were undercounted and that the Post's midterm polling may suffer from inaccuracy, which supports the core of the claim. The claim's specific mention of center-right and centrist independents is not addressed, and the acknowledged problem was tied to particular surveys (Kansas, Maine) rather than all its polls. The claim is extracted from Hugh Hewitt's post, which paraphrases the Post, so the wording is his characterization.True85% confidence8 sourcesOct 30, 2026Prescription drug costs have seen the largest decline in 60 years.Said by AThe claim matches the passage's scope: the BLS data reported in August 2026 show prescription drug prices fell 3.1% over the year ending July, the steepest annual decline since March 1963, which is more than 60 years. Factcheck.org confirms it is the largest one-year price decline in decades, while disputing the administration's causal credit, which the claim does not assert.True90% confidence5 sourcesOct 30, 2026Inflation hit 9.1% under the Democratic administration.The claim's core figure is supported: multiple tier1 and other sources report that year-over-year US inflation peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, during the Biden administration. The extracted claim matches the claimant's passage ("hit 9.1% under Democrats") and the sources confirm the figure occurred under the Democratic administration, though the record describes it as a peak of a cycle rather than the worst in American history.
