We love it in the Fact Cave when our stats make wood in the tabs... and only two grafs shy of the lede... Social: facebook.com/share/p/19dVwjb… Story: nypost.com/2026/10/26/us-new…

H/T 🎩 to @karenyourish and @arfamomin on a great visual deep dive into Trump’s comments on the elections. A great use of data from the Fact Cave in the hands of data reporters. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

The folks in the Fact Cave kinda live on the White House pool. No shock there. It makes it more interesting when CNN was slated for TV / Politico for Print on Travel pool. Both are blocked by the White House. So, it's... a strategy for coverage, we guess?

⏰ 🚨It's been asked, and yes: Donald Trump's post at 8 pm ET today is his longest post ever out of 97,455 cumulative social media posts since 2011. • At 1,321 words, it is 85.79% longer than the next biggest on 9/30 (truthsocial.com/@realdonaldt…) Biggest ever? 🤷‍♂️ For Trump: Yes.

A quick note from the Fact Cave; the issues with the site since Wednesday should all be resolved. Like about 70% of the intertubes, we had some work to do to patch and update our PHP, and that involved turning some pieces off. Unfortunately, announcing “hey we’re not done fixing the massive security hole discovered” kinda paints a target on your servers. We’re kosher now, so accept our apologies. All should be well. We like to think our bot friends are good, but sometimes, sadly, they go bad… youtu.be/JKWpGnaElIU

𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 Argh! While the speech was the longest, @realDonaldTrump only spoke for 89.21% of the event and 92.2% of the words, both BELOW the 95% threshold by our tracking. Our apologies. If you ignore our methodology, it's longest by total time, but not Trump time.

🧵2/2: It's also the 3rd longest speech of EITHER term. Only ones still standing: CPAC 2019 (02:02:35) and a December '19 rally in Battle Creek, Mich. (02:01:12) Bonus fact: 5 of the 10 longest speeches of his 2nd term = this month at rallies.

We're not one to quibble in the Fact Cave, but here's the panorama of the video posted. ±7%, our bot head counter has 397 people in it (see numbers on each head in the zoom). So to give the benefit of the doubt, there's 𝟰𝟮𝟱 people. Not sure "massive"... healthy?

Trump just passed his Mount Pocono rally on 12/9/25 and his Congressional speech on 3/4/25. It's the third-longest speech of this term at 100 minutes. 105 minutes would top the RNC midterm speech, and 108 minutes would make it the longest of this term (topping the SOTU '26)
