Tone: Critical | Slant: Left | Accuracy: ★★
Fact Check: The article strongly criticizes Israel's actions towards Gaza, indicating a left-leaning slant. However, the claim "we Gazans are dying every day" is misleading as it suggests a constant rate of mortality directly tied to the food aid block, which is difficult to substantiate without specific data.

Summary: Potential Trump administration funding cuts at NASA would take a blowtorch to space science and American leadership in space.
Tone: Critical | Slant: Left | Accuracy: ★★
Fact Check: The headline and summary are opinionated and make broad, sweeping claims without concrete evidence. The Trump administration did propose cuts to certain areas of NASA's budget (like climate science), but other areas (like space exploration) saw increased funding, so it's inaccurate to say these cuts would "take a blowtorch to space science and American leadership in space."

Tone: Critical | Slant: Left | Accuracy: ★★★
Fact Check: The article seems to criticize President Trump for alleging the use of "dark money" by ActBlue, while also resorting to the same practice. It somewhat simplifies the complex issue of campaign funding and lacks some information to make a fully informed judgment. Despite this, it largely reflects factual events and statements.

Tone: Critical | Slant: Left | Accuracy: ★★
Fact Check: The article heavily leans against the Trump administration, indicating a left-leaning bias. However, it does not provide specific evidence or instances to support its claims, hence the accuracy rating is lower. The “cruelty and arrogance” of those in charge or the “fecklessness” of institutions are subjective statements. Without concrete examples, these points could be viewed as opinion rather than factual reporting.

Tone: Supportive | Slant: Right | Accuracy: ★★
Fact Check: The article seems supportive of President Trump, indicating a right-wing slant. However, it seems to contain inaccuracies as Trump did not have a second term. The events or progress described cannot be fact-checked due to the nonexistence of a second term.
Title: Amazon disputes report on listing tariff costs amid criticism from White House
Summary: Amid criticism from the White House, Amazon says it was only "considering" listing the added cost of tariffs on its Amazon Haul site and that the plan was "never approved and not going to happen."
