FalseMore people were working in the United States than at any previous point.
The latest available BLS household survey counted 162.746 million employed people in August 2026, below the revised 163.370 million in August 2025. One earlier higher count is enough to disprove the absolute record claim. The August 2026 count rose from July, but the employment-population ratio was 59.1%, down from 59.6% a year earlier; payroll-job growth is a separate measure.

SupportedThe U.S. Supreme Court intervened three times to keep Missouri's 2022 congressional map available for the 2026 election.
The Court's September 25 opinion recounts Justice Kavanaugh's September 8 denial as circuit justice, the full Court's September 10 stay and the full Court's September 25 stay. That supports a count of three interventions. It does not decide whether Missouri's proposed 2025 map was fair or guarantee either party an election victory; the first action was by one justice, not the full Court.

SupportedTrump won Missouri in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections.
Missouri's official returns give Trump 56.8% in 2016, 56.8% in 2020 and 58.5% in 2024. These were substantial state wins. The statement concerns Missouri, not the nationwide result of those elections; Trump lost the national 2020 election.
