Go, Read: Factchecking Doonesbury

I'm kind of lost when it comes to political sites, particularly the context in which individual sites operate, but I enjoyed this short piece on a site called PolitiFact that endorses a recent Doonesbury fact shout-out as mostly true. Their modest objection seems to come from a potential misunderstanding over competing definitions for "at home." (It's also probably worth noting that if Trudeau had used the other definition and adjusted his figure to what would then be a suggested 45,000, his point would still have been really, really strong.)
