Claim 1: “Former national cyber director: Anthropic’s ‘Mythos’ AI can hack nearly anything and we aren’t ready”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources report that Anthropic's 'Mythos' AI is highly capable and poses significant cybersecurity risks, leading to discussions about its potential release. The claim that a former national cyber director made such a statement is supported by the cross-reference and multiple web search results discussing the model's power and the concern over its release.

Claim 2: “In a Congressional hearing on Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) … Kennedy falsely argues that vaccines did little to lower childhood deaths.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies that Senator Sanders stated that Kennedy 'falsely argued that vaccines did little to lower childhood deaths' during a Congressional hearing on Wednesday. While the web search results confirm Sanders questioned Kennedy regarding vaccines and vaccine safety, and that Kennedy was questioned on vaccines, none of the provided evidence explicitly contains the specific assertion that Sanders accused Kennedy of *falsely arguing that vaccines did little to lower childhood deaths*. The evidence is insufficient to corroborate the specific nature of the accusation made by Sanders regarding the decline in childhood deaths.
