“Amy Hood [was] an economics undergraduate at Duke University in the 1990s”
VERIFIED
A web search result explicitly mentions Amy Hood delivering a commencement address at her 'alma mater, Duke University'.

“113 Sq Km Lost, 35,000 Troop Loss Monthly: Report Says Ukraine Gaining Momentum as Russia’s Front Strains”
DISPUTED
There is a contradiction in the data. One source (Caliber.Az/NATO official) corroborates the 35,000 troop loss monthly. However, another source (PM Shmyhal) mentions 35,000 square kilometers of territory being 'returned to safe use' (demined), which is a different metric than 'lost' territory. The claim conflates troop losses with territory loss in a way that the evidence does not uniformly support.

“repercussions from the Iran war sent the S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.34%) down 9% earlier this year”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states the S&P 500 went down 9% due to the Iran war. However, the evidence from the web search regarding the US-Israel war with Iran explicitly states that the benchmark S&P 500 index 'jumped by 9.5% - one of its largest single-day gains since the Second World War', directly contradicting the claim of a 9% decrease.
