True70% confidence12 sourcesOct 23, 2026Democrats in Congress voted against legislation to keep men out of girls' sports.The claim is that Democrats in Congress voted against legislation to keep men out of girls' sports. Multiple sources (Tuberville press release on repeated Senate votes blocking his bill, Thune's statement on Democrats blocking the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, the Congressional Record, and NY Post/Newsbreak reporting that 205 House Democrats opposed the House bill) document Democratic votes against such legislation, though the claim's wording is broad and the sources are partly partisan or secondary.True100% confidence3 sourcesOct 14, 2026Prescription drug prices in the United States have experienced their sharpest decline in over 60 years.Recent federal data confirms that prescription drug prices fell by 3.1% over the past year, marking the largest annual decline since 1963.True55% confidence6 sourcesOct 14, 2026The United States has the lowest murder rate and lowest violent crime rate in 126 years.Sources support the claim's core: the FBI reports 2025 murder at 4.1 per 100,000, tied with 1955 and 1956, and the administration and Council on Criminal Justice say homicides are on pace for the lowest level in at least 126 years. No source disputes the violent-crime level itself, though FactCheck.org disputes the causal framing and the FBI series only begins in 1936, so the 126-year comparison rests on other estimates.True72% confidence6 sourcesOct 14, 2026Republicans implemented the first-ever nationwide school choice program.Primary government sources (Treasury and IRS) and a White House release describe the Education Freedom Tax Credit, enacted under the One Big Beautiful Bill, as America's first nationwide school choice program, and Harvard's explainer says Congress passed it. The claim's 'Republicans implemented' wording is supported only indirectly, since the sources attribute the action to the Trump administration and Congress rather than to Republicans by name, and the program is still being established with launch set for 2027, so 'implemented' is loose phrasing rather than a contradiction.
