Seems like a weird thing to tweet on the day when your boss said he’d pardon someone convicted of sending 400 tons of cocaine into the US.

I give thanks every day to the people who work in the fields and the food industry. They work tirelessly and rarely get either the wages or the security THEY DESERVE. And that is not okay with me any day.
Of the roughly 2.4m farmworkers who help feed our nation, at least half are undoc. Meatpacking plants similarly rely on foreign-born labor, w/immigrants making up nearly 40% of meat processing workers. “Our Thanksgiving celebrations simply couldn’t happen without their labor and contributions.”
From delicious side dishes like green beans and corn, to main courses like turkey with gravy or roasted ham, to desserts like pumpkin pie served with a healthy dollop of whipped cream, these essential workers labored in fields, orchards, dairy farms, and factories to feed us 👇🏽

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.
You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.
This is what comes after Trump.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
