Source Check Verdicts

Last checked: 4/14/2026
The source text explicitly confirms that R Street Institute is involved in this coalition effort through Adam Thierer's signature as 'Senior Fellow, R Street Institute'. The record identifies 'R Street Institute coalition' as a stakeholder, which is confirmed by the source showing R Street Institute (via Thierer) as a participating organization in the coalition letter. The coalition itself is real and documented in the source. The 'unknown' designation for coalition composition is reasonable given the source lists individual signatories rather than formally naming the coalition as an entity.
