Assessments

evidence-backed verdicts

These are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.

AttemptedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 83%

The ATTEMPTED rating is well-supported. Two of the three cited sources are reachable and verify cleanly: (1) the Young Senate press release (PRIMARY, dated March 22, 2023) confirms Young as lead sponsor with cosponsors Smith, Braun, and Schatz, and the quoted statement is VERBATIM accurate ("My Conservation and Innovative Climate Partnership Act gives farmers access to the latest tools and research in order to be successful while keeping American soil productive and healthy"); (2) BillTrack50 (REPUTABLE_SECONDARY) confirms S.900 is "Dead" as of 01/03/2025, its last action was "Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry" on 03/21/2023, and it never passed or became law. The third source, Congress.gov, returned HTTP 403 — this is Congress.gov's standard automated-fetch block, not a fabricated or broken URL (it is the genuine canonical bill page, confirmed in search results), and every fact attributed to it (S.900 introduced 03/21/2023 by Young, referred to the Agriculture Committee) is independently corroborated by the verified BillTrack50 record and by web search. The evidence shows Young genuinely authored and led his own bill (lead sponsor, bipartisan cosponsors, companion House bill H.R.2719) but the promise was to PASS it, and it died in committee with no markup, floor vote, or enactment. ATTEMPTED is correct and appropriately conservative: not FULL/CHAMPIONED because nothing passed, not PARTIAL because no portion was enacted, and it does not overstate the evidence.
