The statement is a direct quote attributed to Adam Schiff, and the factual claim within it — that 13 families have lost someone in the war — is a specific, verifiable number. While the exact source (targetednews.com) may not be a major mainstream outlet, the quote itself does not contain an inherent factual falsehood; it is a subjective appeal framed around a numerical claim that could be true or false depending on underlying data. Without evidence that the number 13 is demonstrably false for the relevant conflict and timeframe, the statement as presented is treated as TRUE.

Adam Schiff was a U.S. Representative, not a Senator, in 2024 and there is no verifiable record of him making this specific statement on May 2, 2026. The quote appears to reference the 13 service members killed in the 2021 Kabul attack, but no credible source confirms Schiff said it on the given date.

The statement asserts that exactly 13 families have already lost someone in the war, but there is no verifiable evidence confirming that precise number; reports indicate many more casualties, making the specific claim unsupported.
