During a speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas on September 9, 2026, President Donald Trump promised to issue a $5,000 payment, which he termed the 'Trump Dividend,' to every adult American citizen, contingent upon the Republican Party winning majority control of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in the 2026 midterm elections.

The claim that Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Collins admitted that Donald Trump is in the 'Epstein files' is mostly false. While Collins did speculate during a campaign context that Trump might be mentioned in the documents, he did so in the context of arguing that Trump had previously identified Epstein's criminal behavior. The claim misrepresents his comments by omitting this critical context.

The claim that Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is a vegan is false. Talarico has explicitly denied the label, and there is documented evidence of him consuming meat products.

Donald Trump claimed China illicitly acquired 220 million US voter files. While declassified documents confirm Chinese actors collected approximately 220 million voter records, this is misleading because most of this data consists of publicly available voter registration information.

Senator Tammy Duckworth's claim that 9% of American citizens lack the identification required by the proposed SAVE America Act is supported by a 2023 national survey, which found that approximately 9% of adult U.S. citizens would face difficulties accessing the specific documents required under the bill to register and vote.

The claim that Paetongtarn Shinawatra is currently the most favored candidate for prime minister with 30.90% support in a recent Nida Poll is outdated and inaccurate.
