“Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat, dies at 80”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is supported by cross-reference sources (Flipboard, Nypost) and Wikipedia entries suggest a death date in 2026. However, the Wikipedia entries provide future dates (e.g., death in 2026) or general biographical information, and no single source confirms the death occurred at age 80 in the present context. The evidence is not sufficient to confirm the claim as factually true in the present.

“The U.S. government altered its tally of American casualties — inexplicably scrubbing 15 wounded-in-action troops from the count.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is reported by two cross-reference sources (Flipboard) alleging the removal of 15 wounded-in-action troops from the Iran War casualty count. While Wikipedia provides context on related wars (Iran-Iraq War, 2026 Iran war), it does not corroborate the specific allegation regarding the scrubbing of 15 wounded-in-action troops from the count. The evidence is limited to the cross-reference reports.
