True60% confidence4 sourcesNov 10, 2026The House Republican Conference passed 1,000 measures in the 119th Congress.Said by ACongress.gov's primary action tally lists 1,000 measures passed or agreed to in the House in the 119th Congress, which matches the claim's figure. The claim's 'House Republican Conference' label is a loose reference to the House majority that the post names, and sources differ on the exact count and breakdown (Courthouse News reports 1,000 total with 938 House-originated, and Snopes reported 922 in September), so confidence is moderate.True60% confidence5 sourcesNov 10, 2026Nancy Pelosi was the only person in the modern era to serve in the Speaker Emeritus position.Said by ASources indicate Pelosi was the first Speaker Emerita, named by the Democratic caucus, and describe no other former Speaker holding that title, which supports the claim's 'only person' framing. No source states the 'only in the modern era' wording directly, and the sources are Pelosi-centric, so confidence is moderate.True90% confidence4 sourcesNov 10, 2026Speaker Johnson has served as Speaker of the House for over three years.Said by AJohnson was elected Speaker on October 25, 2023, and the sources date the claim to November 10, 2026, which is just over three years later, so the claim is accurate and matches the passage's wording. The sources also show he has held the post continuously, including in the 119th Congress.True95% confidence9 sourcesNov 10, 2026The election took place on November 3, 2026.Multiple independent sources (FEC, Virginia state poster, Texas SOS, Britannica, timeanddate, AP-based coverage, and a Snopes/LeadStories fact-check) confirm the 2026 U.S. midterm general election was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The extracted claim is a faithful, date-resolved statement drawn from the post's reference to last week's election outcome, so it is graded on the record.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.
