Allen said that Kaine proposed a tax increase that would have affected people earning "as little as $17,000 a year." Not everyone at that level would have paid more under Kaine’s plan, but it’s a safe bet that large number of them would have seen their overall tax bill rise. We rate Allen’s statement .

Social media users tweeted that Bezos’ brief trip to space released 300 metric tons of carbon dioxide.  The trip released none. The rocket’s engine burns hydrogen and oxygen to carry it away from Earth. That doesn’t make these rides risk-free. They do pose a threat to the ozone layer.  We rate this .
