Our account of each story, written from every outlet that ran it, with Arizona Mirror’s own report linked underneath.
The Trump administration is preparing an overhaul of Head Start that would remove federal quality standards for the preschool programme serving low-income children. Reports attribute the plan to anonymous sources and say it would allow states to set their own rules.

The US Department of Health and Human Services will pay Burke Law Group up to $150 million to provide legal services for unaccompanied migrant children. The firm has no immigration lawyers and was founded by former Trump administration officials. Advocacy groups allege the contract is linked to demands for confidential client data.

Other outlets rated the same way
Publishers carrying the same published leaning as Arizona Mirror, also publishing from United States, ordered by how often we have seen them on a story. Sharing a rating is not the same as being alike.
Think this page is wrong?
The leanings above are published by AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check, and we republish them rather than make them. If you think one is misapplied, the strongest place to say so is with the organisation that made it, and every verdict here links to their page.
What we are responsible for is everything else: the ownership chain, where Arizona Mirror publishes from, which of our stories we have listed it on, and whether we have the right publisher at all. Tell us what is wrong and an editor reads it.
Report something wrong on this page
Anything we correct is written up in the public corrections log. We do not publish reader votes as a rating, because an unattributed rating is the thing this site exists to argue against.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
