What was wrong. Since September 15 the page and its scripts said the Justice Department had asked an appeals court to undo its own Florida win, without saying the court had turned that request down for now and sent the case to mediation. The scripts also asked members of Congress to add their names to the July 22 letter, which had already gone to the Attorney General, and the federal email said no one is appealing the September 23 judgment, which was a prediction stated as a fact.
What it says now. Every script that mentions Florida says what the court did. The letter ask is whether your member signed it. The page names the Latonya Reeves Freedom Act, H.R. 9401 and S. 4865, the bill that would write the integration mandate into federal law, and gives KFF's count of states with waiting lists.
What was wrong. The page said the law adds work paperwork and twice-a-year checks without saying to whom, which read as though they reach every Medicaid enrollee, children included. They apply to adults 19 to 64 in the expansion group, and the work rule exempts parents and caregivers of a child 13 or under or of a disabled person. It also stated two things more firmly than any source does: that home care is often the first thing states cut, and that Medicaid keeps rural hospitals open.
What it says now. The page says who the new rules apply to and when, names the exemptions that matter most to the families reading it, notes that Nebraska started early, and words the other two claims as carefully as the sources do.
What was wrong. Since August 10 the page and every script on it named Executive Order 14408. The vaccine order is Executive Order 14420. 14408 is a May order about federal lands, so anyone who sent our email cited the wrong order in the subject line. The page also said the January 2026 schedule cut never took effect, though it did, from January 5 until a court paused it on March 16, and that there was no comment docket, though HHS ran one from August 24 to September 20. Its summary of Section 4 stopped before the clause about religious and medical exemptions from vaccine requirements.
What it says now. Every mention, including the email subject line, says Executive Order 14420, with the Federal Register citation linked. The schedule history, the closed comment docket and the full Section 4 sentence are on the page.
What was wrong. The page said the SAVE Act would make every American prove citizenship in person to register or update their registration. The bill covers registration applications and never mentions updates, and only people who register by mail have to appear in person. The page also left out that the bill requires a photo ID to vote in person, and it listed rural and older voters among those hit hardest, which its own source, the Brennan Center, does not say.
What it says now. The page describes what the House-passed text requires, including the photo ID rule, names the bill as S. 1383, the SAVE America Act, with the 218 to 213 House vote, and uses the Brennan Center's own list of who would be hit hardest. It also notes the August 8 Senate vote on a separate photo ID bill.
What was wrong. The page said the law had already pushed more than 4 million people off SNAP. The count is now past 5 million, and the claim about cause went further than the data, which show the drop but not why, since participation was already falling before the law passed. It also said states would pay more starting in the 2027 budget year, which began October 1, 2026, so that change had already happened.
What it says now. The page gives USDA's numbers through June 2026, more than 5 million fewer people and 1.5 million fewer children in the 28 states that report them, says the decline began before the law and sped up after it, and names the dates states started and will start paying more.
What was wrong. The page gave KFF's projection that subsidized customers would pay 114 percent more in 2026 as if it were the result. KFF had reported the actual increase in May: average premium payments rose 58 percent and deductibles rose 37 percent. The page also used the 2025 enrollment figure, more than 24 million, and was written around the 2026 plan year with 2027 open enrollment weeks away.
What it says now. The page gives KFF's reported 2026 increases, the 23.1 million people who signed up for 2026, insurers' proposed 15 percent median increase for 2027, the November 1 start of open enrollment, and the House bill number, H.R. 1834.
What was wrong. Ohio's legislator list had not been refreshed since June 4. It still named Nathan Manning for Ohio Senate District 13, though he joined the Ninth District Court of Appeals on August 3 and the seat is vacant, and Sharon Ray for Ohio House District 66, who left in September. A vacant seat in any state could also fill a script with "Senator senator".
What it says now. Ohio Senate District 13 shows as vacant, with no one to contact for it. House District 66 names Sean Hutson, appointed September 30. A vacant seat now leaves the name blank in every script instead of guessing.
What was wrong. On September 23 a federal judge struck the community integration rules out of HHS's Section 504 regulations, nationwide, ending Texas v. Kennedy. For two days the page did not say so, and its scripts still asked for things the judgment had overtaken. The federal email had also carried a run-together sentence since September 8.
What it says now. The page leads with the September 23 judgment, says what it does not do and what is genuinely lost, and every script names the date. The asks moved to what can still be won: writing community living into federal and state law.
What was wrong. The page's central warning was still written as a what-if: if the June opinion became action, a state could institutionalize someone and say it ran out of community funding. On August 13 the Justice Department asked a federal appeals court to vacate its own win in United States v. Florida, a case about hundreds of children with complex medical needs. The page did not mention it for almost four weeks.
What it says now. The page names the August 13 motion and what the Department said it intends to do next. It also adds the July 22 letter from 100 members of Congress, and the scripts ask your member to add their name if they haven't.
What was wrong. Find your reps could show legislators who had already left office. Our roster only ever added and updated people, so 21 departed members stayed on it. In 11 districts the person who had left was the only name shown, with a complete script ready to send to them.
What it says now. Only members on each state's current roster are shown. Where nobody current is on file, the seat shows as an empty placeholder instead of the person who left.
What was wrong. The page covered only the Justice Department's June 18 legal opinion. It said nothing about the notice the Department published on July 20, 2026, which declared the 2011 Olmstead guidance unenforceable. The page was a month behind the news it existed to cover.
What it says now. The July 20 notice is named and linked, with its Federal Register citation, and the call scripts and emails mention it too. The page also says plainly what the notice does not do: it does not overturn Olmstead, the ADA and Section 504 are still law, and what changed is enforcement posture.
What was wrong. The page said Congress could still vote to restore the expiring help, and pointed a general federal ask at whoever the reader called. The House had already passed a three-year extension on January 8, 2026, by 230 to 196. The page also put marketplace enrollment at more than 20 million.
What it says now. The page names the House vote and its count, says the Senate is where this is now decided, and puts enrollment at more than 24 million, which is what KFF reports. A tool that sends a parent to the wrong office wastes the one call they were ever going to make.
What was wrong. The page said more than 3.5 million people had lost SNAP by early 2026, and that about 2 million children could lose food help. The first number was stale. The second was a projection presented alongside facts.
What it says now. More than 4 million people lost SNAP between July 2025 and April 2026, about an 11 percent drop, and more than a million of them are children. That child figure is what has already happened, not a forecast, and the page says it covers only the 19 states that report child enrollment, so it is an undercount.
What was wrong. The page described the SAVE Act but linked to H.R. 22, a different bill from the previous Congress. The scripts asked readers to call about a bill number that did not match the bill being described.
What it says now. The narrative, the scripts and the sources all name S. 1383, and the source link points at that bill.
What was wrong. The page gave the spending cuts and the coverage losses with no time horizons, so it read as though 10 million people lose coverage in January 2027. It also said Medicaid covers close to half of all kids.
What it says now. About 911 billion dollars over ten years, 10 million more uninsured by 2034 with the year-by-year ramp shown, and about 4 in 10 kids, which is what KFF reports.
What was wrong. Sixteen call scripts and emails began the personal-story line with an instruction aimed at the reader: "Optional, and worth adding:". Anyone who copied the block, filled in the bracket and sent it was mailing that instruction to a Senate office.
What it says now. The guidance sits above the script, where it cannot be copied. Not one word of the sendable text changed.
