The claim
His [President Trump's] popularity is rising you liberals just keep lying and lying!
The finding
False
95% Confident
False. Multiple independent polls from May 2026 show President Trump's approval rating has dropped to record lows, contradicting claims that his popularity is rising. While minor weekly fluctuations occur, the overall trend across major trackers shows a sharp decline in public support.
The claim
His popularity is rising you liberals just keep lying and lying!
The finding
Opinion
95% Confident
Opinion. The post does not identify who 'His' refers to or cite specific claims that can be verified. It shares a subjective political viewpoint rather than stating measurable facts. Without a clear subject or data, accuracy cannot be evaluated.
The claim
The Trump administration is spending $5 million to restore and gild four massive bronze horse statues in Washington, D.C. with 23.75-karat gold leaf ahead of America’s 250th anniversary. The National Park Service awarded the contract in April, reportedly without full competition, citing urgency and national…
The finding
True
92% Confident
True. The National Park Service awarded a $5 million contract in April 2026 to restore and regild four D.C. bronze horse statues with 23.75-karat gold leaf for the 250th anniversary. The deal bypassed full competition and is part of roughly $95 million in beautification spending.
The claim
My MSNBC, newspaper-reading dad is seeing nothing about Delaney Hall and only getting updates from me. Tear-gassing a senator isn’t making the news??
The finding
Mixed
70% Confident
Partially true. Senator Andy Kim was tear-gassed by ICE agents at Delaney Hall in late May 2026. While MSNBC's website shows no articles on the incident, it has been widely reported by Reuters, The Week, and local New Jersey news outlets.
The claim
Facts > opinions.
Feb 2024: Special Counsel Hur raises concerns about Biden’s memory.
June 2024: Juneteenth freeze. G7 wandering incident. Obama guiding him off stage after a fundraiser.
June 27, 2024: Debate performance sparks bipartisan concern.
July 21, 2024: His own party forces him off the ticket.
The finding
Mostly True
78% Confident
Mostly true. The listed 2024 events are documented. However, saying Democrats forced him off the ticket is misleading. While Biden faced intense pressure from party leaders after his debate, he voluntarily announced his withdrawal on July 21 rather than being formally removed.
The claim
A federal judge ordered that President Trump’s name be removed from the Kennedy Center within two weeks and that officials halt its plan to close the venue for two years.
Read more on the decision here: https://wapo.st/4nYHsQq
The finding
True
95% Confident
True. A federal judge ordered the Kennedy Center to remove President Trump's name within 14 days and halted a planned two-year closure. The court ruled only Congress can rename the venue. This preliminary injunction is temporary while the lawsuit continues and may be appealed.
The claim
Whilst it's true that China has been impoverished in the past, these days they have the fastest growing economy on Earth and more millionaires each week than any country on Earth. Their technology & infrastructure is 2nd to none, and as an example China have 3500+ bullet trains + 130 000kms railway.
The finding
Mixed
82% Confident
Misleading. China does not have the fastest-growing economy or create the most new millionaires. India and other nations grow faster, and the US adds more millionaires annually. China's rail network is also larger than stated, with over 160,000 km of track and nearly 5,000 high-speed trains.
The claim
Curious, why didn't Biden release the Epstein files when he had control of them? What was stopping him?
The finding
Misleading
82% Confident
Misleading. Presidents cannot unilaterally release grand jury materials. The Epstein files were restricted by federal secrecy rules, victim privacy laws, and ongoing investigations. Congress passed a transparency law in November 2025 to legally compel their release.
The claim
This is what it looks like when the LEFT is in control. Biden had 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth also. But it wasn't called a recession because he was a DEMOCRAT!
The finding
Misleading
78% Confident
Misleading. The U.S. had two negative GDP quarters in 2022, but the non-partisan NBER did not declare a recession. It uses a broader definition that weighs employment and income, which remained strong. Official recession calls rely on comprehensive economic data, not political affiliation.
The claim
The popular convenience chain Foxtrot liquidated and then reopened a virtually identical version of its old self within weeks: same name, some same locations, same top executives. How?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a wonky tactic growing in popularity for startups backed by VC and PE cash.
The finding
Mostly True
78% Confident
Partially true. Foxtrot filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in May 2024 and reopened under the same name with some original locations and co-founder Mike LaVitola. However, it did not reopen within weeks. The first store re-opened in September 2024, roughly 4.5 months later.
The claim
Jared Polis once again vetoes bill that would make it easier for Colorado unions to organize
The finding
True
95% Confident
True. Governor Jared Polis vetoed House Bill 1005 on May 28, 2026. This marks the second consecutive year he has rejected the measure, which would have eased union organizing rules under state labor law.
The claim
US judge questions scope of Trump's power to impose $100,000 H-1B visa fee reut.rs/49wzJTE
The finding
True
95% Confident
True. The post links to a May 29, 2026 Reuters report on a federal appeals court hearing. A judge questioned a lawyer about President Trump's authority to impose a $100,000 H-1B visa fee. These questions do not indicate a final ruling, and the court has not yet decided the fee's legality.
The claim
The Education Department will launch two new repayment plan options. Here’s what they may mean for you.
The finding
True
95% Confident
True. The Department of Education will launch two new federal student loan repayment plans on July 1, 2026. The Tiered Standard Plan and Repayment Assistance Plan will mainly apply to new borrowers or those who consolidate after that date. Legacy plans will be phased out by 2028.
The claim
Trump is now spending $5 million in taxpayer dollars to cover horse statues in Washington, DC with 23.75-karat gold.
www.notus.org/trump-white-...
The finding
True
95% Confident
True. The National Park Service awarded a $5 million contract in April 2026 to restore and apply 23.75-karat gold leaf to four bronze horse statues near the Lincoln Memorial. The funding covers repairs and gilding for the July 2026 semiquincentennial.
The claim
Trump couldn’t buy the opening of the Strait of Hormuz for $25B, so now he’s offering $300B in reparations. Art of the deal.
The finding
Mostly True
85% Confident
Mostly true. A draft U.S.-Iran deal includes a $300 billion reconstruction fund, though Washington calls it an investment vehicle. The $25 billion Strait of Hormuz claim relies solely on an unverified Seymour Hersh report. The agreement is not finalized.
The claim
Instead, the Democrats 87,000 new IRS hires were disproportionately attacking and auditing poor & middle class hard-working law, abiding American tax paying citizens…. because those victims of this Democrat crime could not afford attorneys and accountants unlike the Democrat oligarchy.
The finding
Misleading
82% Confident
Misleading. The 87,000 number covers all IRS staff over a decade, not just auditors. The IRS targets high-wealth filers, not middle-class taxpayers. Also, the IRS does not investigate Medicaid fraud. The $9 billion figure covers multiple Minnesota health programs, not just daycare.
The claim
This is why Americans NEED voter ID
DEMOCRATS CHEAT. IT’S AS EASY AS THAT
TRUMP was right again!!!
www.foxnews.com/us/illinois-...
The finding
Mixed
72% Confident
Misleading. While an Illinois Democratic official was charged with allegedly voting in her deceased mother's name, this isolated case does not prove systemic cheating. Voter ID laws apply to in-person voting and would not stop mail-in ballot fraud. Existing safeguards already caught the alleged fraud.
The claim
Biden administration misused funds to pay for anti-Israel protests and terrorist-linked NGOs: memo justthenews.com/node/181892?...
The finding
Misleading
75% Confident
Misleading. The post cites a Republican-led House Judiciary Committee memo alleging the Biden administration indirectly funded anti-Israel protests and groups with alleged terror ties. This is an unverified partisan claim relying on indirect funding chains, not proof of intentional misuse.
The claim
Covid is a BIOWEAPON that leaked from Wuhan lab during military ‘Frankenvirus’ tests, claims Chinese Whistleblower Dr Li Meng-Yan even claims that a trove of Dr Anthony Fauci's emails proves her allegations and that he knew about it but tried to hide it. www.the-sun.com/news/3012768...
The finding
Misleading
82% Confident
Misleading. Scientists have widely debunked Dr. Li-Meng Yan's bioweapon claims. There is no credible evidence SARS-CoV-2 was engineered. Released emails from Dr. Fauci show standard scientific discussions about early hypotheses, not proof of a cover-up.
The claim
ICYMI: California just made it a felony for law enforcement to seize ballots from any county elections office in the state.
The law is Gov. Gavin Newsom’s direct response to a GOP gubernatorial candidate who acted on bogus election fraud claims earlier this year.
The finding
True
90% Confident
True. Gov. Newsom signed SB 73 on May 27, 2026, making it a felony for law enforcement to seize ballots from county election offices. The law responds to GOP candidate Chad Bianco, who seized over 650,000 ballots in February based on unsubstantiated fraud claims.
