HOT TOPICS | Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, & Pete Hegseth: The Grinches Who Stole Thanksgiving
26 Nov 2025
It’s Thanksgiving Eve, a time meant for joy, family, and connection, yet far too many people are trying to replace that spirit with fear. From Donald Trump’s continued attacks on Democratic lawmakers who simply reminded military members of their legal obligations, to the inhumane and heartbreaking ICE detentions unfolding across the country, the moment feels incredibly heavy. This morning, Don is joined by Senator Ruben Gallego to break down what’s happening, why these crises matter, and how we can hold onto truth and humanity in a time when cruelty is becoming policy.
