Reading the news in 2026 feels broken. Same headline, twenty different ways, none of them complete. I’d open 15 tabs to triangulate one story and still not be sure what actually happened. That was the spark. The problem was three things at once. Too many outlets saying the same thing. Real disagreements between sources buried under that noise. Viral social-media claims that nobody had time to check against primary reporting. Most news aggregators solve the first one and barely. The Nexus started as a personal tool. I’m an active sergeant at a large SoCal law-enforcement agency and supervised our cyber and fraud team for 10 years. The first build was a corpus and a search box for my own desk. Adding the daily briefing was obvious. INTERCEPT, the cross-outlet contradiction view, came after watching the same event get framed five different ways across the political spectrum and realizing nobody was just showing it side by side. The Claim Checker landed last and changed the launch shape entirely. Once you could paste any viral X post and get a descriptive summary of what 100+ news sources actually said about it, the product stopped being “a better news reader” and started being “the thing you reach for when a claim is bouncing around your feed.” Free tier covers everything editorial. Pro ($4.99/mo or $49/yr) adds watchlists with alerts, full-archive search, weekly state digests, and on-demand briefings. Would love feedback on whether the Claim Checker does what you’d want a fact-check tool to do, and what sources you think we’re missing.
