Added the committee-documented 3:49 PM Pelosi–Miller Guard-response call while keeping leadership pressure separate from military deployment orders and arrival times.January 6 hub adds Nathaniel Tuck’s adjudicated west-to-east Proud Boys routeAdded Tuck’s court-tested approximately 12:52 PM restricted-grounds entry, 2:16 PM east-side police-line breach and 2:18 PM Senate Carriage Door entry, keeping his conduct defendant-specific and separate from broader crowd or Proud Boys leadership findings.January 6 hub updates Jeffrey Clark evidence file through the current 2026 discipline litigationD.C. Bar still lists Clark’s discipline as pending after the Board recommended disbarment; DOJ’s separate federal challenge remains litigation, and twenty states have backed D.C. authorities’ effort to dismiss it.January 6 hub adds Steven Patrick Cook’s adjudicated West Plaza-to-Tunnel routeAdded Cook’s court-tested approximately 2:28 PM West Plaza assault, 2:43–2:52 PM first Tunnel entry and 3:02–3:05 PM second Tunnel entry, keeping every act defendant-specific and separate from crowd-wide characterizations.January 6 hub adds Robert Morss’s adjudicated West Front-to-window routeAdded Robert Morss’s adjudicated route from an approximately 2 PM West Front confrontation, through a 3:03–3:14 PM Lower West Terrace Tunnel shield sequence, to a later approximately 4:17 PM broken-window Capitol entry; all conduct remains defendant-specific.January 6 hub adds Philip Young’s adjudicated west-to-east exterior chronologyAdded Philip Young’s adjudicated record: an approximately 2:46 PM Upper West Terrace bike-rack assault and a separate approximately 3:54 PM east-courtyard government-vehicle incident, keeping both defendant-specific and separate from crowd-wide chronology.Trump/DOJ Live Nation settlement intervention report added with antitrust case record kept separateAdded the Wall Street Journal’s report that Trump personally pressed DOJ to settle the Live Nation/Ticketmaster antitrust case, while separately documenting the federal settlement and the later jury verdict won by states that continued litigating.January 6 Eastman evidence file adds Jan. 7 aftermath call and Jan. 11 pardon-request emailAdded Eric Herschmann’s sworn account of Eastman’s January 7 post-certification call and the committee-preserved January 11 Eastman email requesting inclusion on a pardon list, with testimony, documentary evidence, later clemency and criminal-law conclusions kept separate.Ireland/Doonbeg ethics record added; January 6 Rotunda chronology gains adjudicated Starer sequenceAdded the White House-confirmed September Ireland trip centered on the Irish Open at the Trump family’s Doonbeg property as an unrated public-record/ethics item, and added Jacquelyn Starer’s adjudicated 2:51–3:06 PM Rotunda assault sequence to the January 6 chronology.January 6 hub adds a late Lower West Terrace window-entry and assault recordMark Atwood’s adjudicated guilty-plea record now anchors a roughly 4:35 PM entry through a broken window beside the Lower West Terrace Tunnel and admitted assaults on officers from about 4:51–5:03 PM. The defendant-specific record is kept separate from broader Capitol and plaza clearance milestones.January 6 hub adds an adjudicated Parliamentarian Door-to-Senate routeStephen Adams’s federal conviction record now anchors a 2:48 PM Parliamentarian Door entry, passage by the Vice President’s ceremonial office, and Senate Chamber entry at about 3:04 PM. The route remains defendant-specific, and later clemency is kept separate from the historical adjudication.January 6 hub adds an adjudicated early Upper West Terrace police-clearing recordA DOJ guilty-plea record now anchors officers forming an Upper West Terrace line around 2:45 PM, advancing around 2:47 PM, and Carver’s admitted interference at about 2:48 PM. The hub keeps this early attempted clearance separate from the later area-wide clearing sequence.January 6 hub adds Chansley’s adjudicated Senate-dais route and 3:09 PM clearance recordDOJ plea and sentencing records now tie the iconic Senate-dais imagery to Chansley’s court-tested route: Upper West Terrace around 2:10 PM, Capitol entry about 2:14 PM, later Senate-dais occupation, and chamber clearance around 3:09 PM. Later clemency remains separate from the historical conviction.January 6 hub adds an adjudicated 2:24 PM Crypt route recordA 2024 federal bench-trial record now anchors Toney and Ethan Bray in the Crypt at about 2:24 PM after their Senate Wing entry, then traces their later Rotunda movement. The hub keeps their individualized convictions separate from crowd-wide claims and later clemency.Freedom 250 event status added to the NPS maintenance-priority recordThe August 23 race is now documented as completed, including Trump’s ceremonial lap/green flag and the revised National Mall/Pennsylvania Avenue route; the record keeps that event status separate from the unresolved long-term fate of roughly 1,500 reported sidelined NPS maintenance projects.January 6 hub adds Pence secure-location vehicle-refusal evidenceGreg Jacob’s sworn testimony records that Pence reached a secure underground location but refused to enter the waiting vehicle, choosing to remain inside the Capitol complex so the electoral count could be completed. The hub does not infer any unproven Secret Service intent.Major FactFlag rebrand stagedLegacy branding has been replaced by FactFlag. FactFlag.org is the canonical public domain, FactFlag.com and legacy migration redirects were removed after the canonical cutover, and the evidence-gap system is now the FactFlag Meter with a U.S.-flag position indicator.Trump South Carolina rally employment and inflation claims checked against BLS dataBLS July data contradict the record-employment claim and do not support a “fastest inflation drop in years” description: employed persons were below July 2025 and CPI rose 0.1% in July while the annual rate eased only 0.1 point.Pirro archive adds Luevano federal-hiring consent-decree dismissal recordThe August 1, 2025 court order ended the 1981 Luevano consent decree through joint Rule 60(b)(5) relief and a stipulated dismissal; DOJ’s broader claim that the decree was unconstitutional racial favoritism was not itself adjudicated in that dismissal order.January 6 hub adds CISA election-security statement and Christopher Krebs firing recordPrimary records now distinguish the Nov. 12 election-infrastructure finding that no voting system was shown to have deleted, lost or changed votes from Trump’s Nov. 17 firing of CISA Director Christopher Krebs; the technical assessment, employment action and broader fraud allegations remain separate evidentiary questions.January 6 hub adds Trump campaign’s election-night advice and “Team Normal” evidence recordBill Stepien and Jason Miller both told the Select Committee it was too early to declare victory on election night; Stepien also described the later split between the campaign’s established team and the Giuliani-led post-election strategy. The hub labels those statements as witness testimony and keeps committee conclusions separate from court findings.Leavitt Laken Riley Act detention claim reviewed; congressional research reaches 412 membersThe Act does create mandatory detention for covered inadmissible noncitizens arrested or charged with specified theft and serious-harm offenses, while “violence” is broader shorthand than the statute’s exact categories. Eight special-election House members also received sourced editorial profiles and outage-safe routes.Miller deficit claim checked against the enacted One Big Beautiful Bill budget recordCBO confirms very large Medicaid, SNAP and other mandatory-spending reductions, but its standard enacted-law baseline estimates a net deficit increase rather than the deficit reduction Miller described in May 2025.Miller border prosecution/deportation claim reviewed; congressional research reaches 404 membersCBP documented an end to routine catch-and-release and a detention/removal posture, strongly supporting Miller’s central point, while his “either prosecuted or deported” wording compresses pending proceedings and statutory exceptions into two completed outcomes. Six additional current House members also received sourced editorial profiles and outage-safe routes.January 6 objection map adds Arizona and Pennsylvania delegation comparisonsOfficial House roll calls now show how each challenged state’s own delegation split: Arizona changed from 3–6 on its own objection to 4–5 on Pennsylvania; Pennsylvania changed from 4–14 on Arizona to 8–10 on its own objection.January 6: late Senate Wing entry chronology expandedA DOJ guilty-plea record now anchors another Senate Wing Door entry at about 3:15 PM, showing entry continued on that route while police were clearing other interior areas.January 6: late-evening leadership/security coordination record expandedA committee-preserved Donoghue transcript now anchors the roughly 7 PM senior leadership/security call, while the Fort McNair continuity record now points to the committee’s own published documentary-footage record.Leavitt’s “permanent” 10,000-troop Mexico claim reviewedMexico did deploy 10,000 National Guard personnel to its northern border, but the public February 2025 agreement described an immediate deployment during a one-month tariff-negotiation period and did not establish that exactly 10,000 troops would remain there permanently.FBI Director Kash Patel profile added; national crime superlative sharpenedOfficial FBI biography/portrait now anchor Patel’s profile. FBI final data support the record-sized 2025 violent-crime decline within its national series, while the site separately labels claims that Trump/FBI changes caused the decline as unproven causation.Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll added to the administration directoryOfficial Army biography and portrait now anchor Driscoll’s profile; the reported year-end departure remains labeled expected/unconfirmed because Reuters could not independently verify it and the Army still lists him as secretary.Leavitt’s $55,000 regulatory-cost claim reviewed; congressional research reaches 398 membersThe cited study estimated about $47,000 per household in net-present-value regulatory costs, not a literal $55,000 tax bill. Six current House members—Mike Ezell, Celeste Maloy, Harriet Hageman, Rudy Yakym, Robert Bresnahan and Ryan Zinke—also received sourced editorial profiles and outage-safe routes, bringing the reviewed congressional backlog to 398 members.Scott Perry–Meadows messages added to Jeffrey Clark evidence trailCommittee-published records cite repeated late-December Perry messages urging Mark Meadows to contact Jeffrey Clark. The site now cross-links that documentary trail to Perry’s congressional profile while keeping committee findings separate from criminal outcomes.Army Secretary Driscoll departure remains reported, not confirmedReuters says the Wall Street Journal reports Dan Driscoll is expected to leave by year’s end, but Reuters could not independently verify it and the Army still lists him as secretary. The site now keeps “reported/expected” separate from a confirmed resignation.Iran sanctions escalation gets a Monday implementation checkpointTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent is scheduled to detail new Iran sanctions Monday at 2 p.m. EDT. Reuters says China buys more than 80% of Iran’s shipped oil; Tehran has publicly rejected the threatened secondary sanctions.Darline Graham profile adds national-security debate recordThe current South Carolina senator’s August 18 statement that national security was “not my thing” is now documented with AP/Reuters sources and kept as an unrated campaign/public-record item.Canada sets September 8 retaliation after U.S. 50% tariffs take effectThe Canada trade record now distinguishes the U.S. Section 338 duties already in force from Canadian dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs scheduled for September 8, with announced sector targets but detailed tariff lines still pending.January 6 hub adds Meadows’s January 5 Guard emailCommittee records preserve Meadows saying the D.C. Guard would be present to “protect pro Trump people”; the hub keeps that White House email separate from formal Defense Department orders and the disputed 10,000-troop claim.Trump escalates Strait of Hormuz claim to “American territory”Trump moved from saying he might declare the Strait of Hormuz U.S. territory to saying at an August 21 rally that he views it as “American territory” and that the United States has “total control.” Oman and Iran are the two coastal states whose territorial waters include the Strait; U.S. military influence does not create U.S. territorial sovereignty.January 6 Fanone evidence file adds Snoots adjudicated assault recordA separate DOJ guilty-plea and sentencing record now documents Lewis Wayne Snoots’s shield handling and physical restraint of Officer Michael Fanone during the 3:17–3:19 PM Lower West Terrace assault sequence, while keeping Fanone’s medical testimony and later clemency legally separate.Wiles contradiction of Trump’s Clinton/Epstein island claim reviewedPublic Epstein flight logs do not support Trump’s claim that Bill Clinton visited Little St. James 28 times. The new review credits Wiles on that specific numerical claim while noting disputed anecdotal accounts that make an absolute “no evidence of any visit” formulation too broad.Miller FTO-membership legal claim reviewedThe eight cartel/gang organizations were formally designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations, but federal law does not make mere membership a standalone terrorism offense. The new review separates organizational designation, immigration consequences and material-support liability from individual criminal culpability.January 6 hub adds Jan. 2 multi-state legislator briefing recordThe Select Committee report says nearly 300 battleground-state legislators reportedly joined a private Jan. 2 briefing with Trump, Giuliani, Eastman and others; the site labels the estimate as a committee finding and does not infer agreement or illegality from participation alone.January 6 hub adds Nov. 28 Eastman theory routing recordCommittee-preserved transcripts document a Jenna Ellis email to Mark Meadows and Trump executive assistant Molly Michael marked “for POTUS,” attaching an Eastman state-legislature article; the site explicitly does not infer that Trump personally received or adopted it.Miller ICE “federal immunity” claim added with Supreme Court and DOJ contextFederal officers have meaningful Supremacy Clause protection from state prosecution for authorized acts necessary and proper to their duties, but it is not blanket immunity. The new review preserves that protection while documenting federal prosecutions of officers who exceeded lawful authority.USPS publishes final mail-ballot rule; court injunction still blocks implementationThe existing Trump mail-ballot record now reflects USPS’s August 22 final-rule publication while preserving the nationwide injunction and still-pending Supreme Court stay request as separate legal stages.January 6 hub adds Wisconsin’s member-by-member House objection votesOfficial House Clerk roll calls show Wisconsin’s delegation split 2–6 on both Arizona and Pennsylvania: Fitzgerald and Tiffany voted to sustain both; the other six Wisconsin members voted Nay on both.January 6 hub adds Michigan’s member-by-member House objection votesOfficial House Clerk roll calls show Michigan’s delegation split identically on Arizona and Pennsylvania: three Republicans voted to sustain both, four Republicans and six Democrats opposed both, and Rashida Tlaib was recorded Not Voting on both.Leavitt Vinnik forfeiture claim reviewed; congressional research reaches 392 membersAdded a sourced review of Leavitt’s February 2025 statement that Alexander Vinnik forfeited more than $100 million in the Marc Fogel exchange, separating DOJ’s $100M-plus criminal-loss figure from the exchange’s reported forfeiture condition. Six current House members also received sourced editorial profiles and outage-safe routes.January 6 hub adds Georgia’s member-by-member House objection votesOfficial House Clerk roll calls now show the Georgia delegation’s split on the Arizona and Pennsylvania objections: six Georgia Republicans sustained both, two Republicans opposed both, and Georgia Democrats opposed the objections except one Pennsylvania non-vote.January 6 hub separates Ray Epps’s documented conduct from the unsupported FBI-agent theoryEpps’s misdemeanor guilty plea and sentence are now presented alongside the DOJ Inspector General’s broader FBI-source findings and the 2026 Fox defamation ruling, keeping proven conduct, informant allegations, civil procedure and later clemency in separate lanes.

Simple by design

Three things to look for

1

What is being said?

The exact assertion or political characterization appears first and is kept separate from analysis.

2

How hot is the claim?

The thermometer rises as the gap grows between the wording of a claim and what the cited evidence establishes.

3

Can I audit the conclusion?

Each review identifies primary records, independent context, the source making the claim and any fair criticism that remains.
