Just note that in 2024, voter turnout was 64.1% ... so fully ONE THIRD of registered US voters can't be bothered to vote .... even with early voting, mail-in voting, and same day voting.... compare that to say Germany who has 82% turnout on a single/ same-day vote. So stop complaining & just vote!!

These Trump fact checks are getting kind of long. Can we shorten things up on those columns and just tell us which parts are true? I feel like that would save a lot of time.

Antisemitism is not “new” on the MAGA right.
But former VP Mike Pence has more reasons to reject it & White Nationalist Nick Fuentes than most.
