Meanwhile, Biden celebrates his 81st birthday with more bad polling and anxious Democrats. Trump continues his run of bonkers campaign stops in Iowa and Fox News kicks off the holiday season with a meltdown over “woke” Christmas.

Finally, we kick off a new Thanksgiving tradition and pardon our favorite political turkeys of 2023.
