All week, the Brian Lehrer Show will quiz listeners on whether something is true or whether it's a lie. Today's topic: the US Senate, its current members, and fun facts about its history.

Correction: In the live version of this segment, Brian misstated that Senator Bernie Sanders gave the longest filibuster in Senate history. According to the AP, the record was set by former Senator Strom Thurmond, a Republican from South Carolina. We've omitted the mistake from the audio to prevent confusion.
