Multiple sources show Jennifer Welch, co-host of the I've Had It podcast, wrote a book titled "Not Today, Fascists," so the claim is supported. The book's official release was October 6, 2026, after the August 10, 2026 post, but it was already available for pre-order then, which matches the post, and the authorship claim holds as of the posting date.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. NPR's October 2026 interview is with podcaster Jennifer Welch about "her new book" 'Not Today, Fascists,' which it describes as her own book.[1][2]

Supports. Kirkus Reviews lists the book as "by Jennifer Welch" with a release date of October 6, 2026, and HarperCollins lists it as a Jennifer Welch title.[3][4]

Context. The extracted claim matches the post's wording ("Jennifer's new book Not Today, Fascists"), and the post's pre-order call is consistent with a book not yet released on August 10, 2026. Later sources confirm the authorship.
