An aside. Unfortunately, that fine building once housed academic departments, including political science (where I got my MA). It has been taken over by the administration. An example of bloat, which makes it easier for government overreach.

The only silver lining is that this administration is so woefully incompetent that this nefarious plan will fail.

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

A Harpers Weekly engraving from 1869 depicting Uncle Sam's Thanksgiving Dinner as described in the main text of this skeet. There are also images of Lincoln, Washington, and Grant on the wall.

Other than wasting money developing useless climate change frameworks, the federal government has done nothing meaningful...35 years of nothingness.
