“Ad shows an AI-version of James Talarico saying: “I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity.”
FactCheck.org rated this: Missing context
FactCheck.org says: That’s something Talarico, a Texas state representative, did say during a March 4, 2021, episode of the “Activist Theology” podcast. But the ad leaves out what came before and after that comment.
“The reason why we have seen a measles outbreak in certain parts of the country is because of rampant illegal immigration into the United States from the previous administration.”
FactCheck.org rated this: Unsupported
FactCheck.org says: The main driver of rising measles cases in the U.S. is falling vaccination among U.S. children. We couldn't find evidence that the largest recent outbreaks are related to illegal immigration.
“Maine schools used to be among the best, but under Troy Jackson’s failed leadership in Augusta, our high schools dropped to dead last.”
FactCheck.org rated this: Not the whole story
FactCheck.org says: A major reason Maine fell to last in U.S. News & World Report's state high school rankings is because the state education department stopped giving U.S. News access to Advanced Placement performance data for Maine high …
“This past filing season, 440,000 tipped workers right here in Nevada saved an average of $10,000 on their taxes" because of the "no tax on tips" policy.”
FactCheck.org rated this: Unsupported
FactCheck.org says: Instead of actual tax savings, the president may have been referring to the average amount some tipped workers were able to deduct from their federal taxable income in 2025. The actual savings would be a fraction of tha…
“Susan Collins voted to support Donald Trump on the largest Medicaid cut in history.”
FactCheck.org rated this: False
FactCheck.org says: Sen. Susan Collins was one of three Republican senators who voted against passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025, and she cited the legislation’s many changes to Medicaid as the main reason.
“Autism has increased as we "add progressively more and more vaccines.”
FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading
FactCheck.org says: Extensive research has failed to turn up a link between vaccines and autism.
“You have the MMR [measles, mumps, rubella vaccine]. We want it in three separate vaccinations, given at separate times. Together, there could be a possibility they're quite lethal. And separately, it looks like they are not at all lethal but just very effective.”
FactCheck.org rated this: False
FactCheck.org says: There is no evidence that splitting up the MMR vaccine would be safer or save lives. Death from MMR vaccination is exceedingly rare.
“Abdul El-Sayed "believes America deserved 9/11.”
FactCheck.org rated this: False
FactCheck.org says: El-Sayed said in April that the 2001 terrorist attack on the U.S. was not justified. Instead Rogers' Senate campaign has pointed to past comments made by liberal political commentator Hasan Piker, and said that El-Sayed…
“We inherited the worst inflation in the history of America from the Biden administration. And as you know, last week, it was announced that inflation is way down. It’s down more than it’s been in over six years.”
FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading
FactCheck.org says: Trump did not inherit the worst inflation in history. And while there was a big one-month drop in the rate of inflation in June, the annualized inflation rate was not lower than when Trump took office.
“The RSV epidemic and Lyme disease came from gain-of-function research.”
FactCheck.org rated this: Baseless
FactCheck.org says: Lyme disease and RSV have long affected humans, and there's no evidence they came from a lab.
“If they [Canada] managed their forests, they wouldn’t have the fires.”
FactCheck.org rated this: False
FactCheck.org says: It is not possible to eliminate fires in the boreal forest of Canada, and experts have said that large-scale forest management there is infeasible.
“RFK’s decision to stop monitoring cyclosporiasis has endangered Michigan families and allowed a parasite to spread across the country.”
FactCheck.org rated this: Exaggerates
FactCheck.org says: The surveillance that ended is different from the system used to detect outbreaks. Several food safety experts said it is unlikely to have played much of a direct role in the current outbreak.
