Verdicts:
- DOJ "launched" an aggressive Alaska probe: partly supported, misleading — it was underway and intensified, not new.
- Democrats committed "an overt act of voter fraud" in Alaska: exaggerated — the Times found recruitment, but noted ballot stacking is generally legal and did not establish criminal wrongdoing.
- Trump wants Peltola prosecuted: correct.
- O'Keefe and Higby "used fake names" and "did not vote or sign papers": partly supported, misleading — they used real voters' names, some deceased; they cast no ballots and stopped short of signing oaths.
- Federal prosecutors are investigating how a second Dan Sullivan reached Alaska's ballot: correct.
- DOJ found 400 noncitizens who voted 1,500 times: correct, with a qualification — 405 people, about 1,500 votes in Washington, per a disputed DOJ letter.
- Bolsonaro was "spirited off in the night, likely by the CIA": unverified — Flavio Bolsonaro left Brazil abruptly; no CIA evidence.
- Vouching means voting "for eight other people": incorrect — vouching covers residency so others can vote themselves.
- The Army could dig 2,400 gravesites quickly: correct, with a clarification — one engineer company, nonstop, up to 2,400 bodies in 24 hours.
- The U.S. told Gulf allies war with Iran "will light up" after the midterms: partly supported — allies were warned of possible strikes; no final decision had been made.
- "9,000 amphibious Marines" moved into the region: partly supported, misleading — roughly 9,000 total personnel, not 9,000 Marines alone.
- Britain's October 22 campaign, EU 72-hour kits, Germany's 10-day advice: correct.
- Microsoft "fired 26% of its entire workforce": exaggerated — voluntary buyouts were offered to about 60,000 employees; uptake is unknown.
- The Metro Alignment Playbook is a city-by-city economic disruption plan: unverified — from a single DataRepublican post; no independent corroboration found.
- Markey said the public must be prepared to "activate": correct in substance — he called for strike readiness like Minneapolis.
- The Senate cannot be abolished by amendment: correct — Article V's equal-suffrage proviso requires every state's consent.
- Assisted dying is Canada's second leading cause of death: incorrect — 16,499 MAiD deaths in 2024, 5.1% of deaths, behind cancer and heart disease.
- "Babies can't survive on formula" and formula children are "severely stunted": incorrect — formula is nutritionally complete; studies find normal-range development across feeding groups.
Tracker totals: 114 claims — 43 supported, 44 partly supported/misleading, 13 contradicted, 13 unresolved, 1 prediction pending.
