As the holidays arrive in midst of the 2020 pandemic, we look at how travel and family gatherings are being affected this Thanksgiving. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone... as the end of November approaches, the results of the tumultuous 2020 election are still being sorted out. President-Elect Joe Biden's transition team is asking for donations, as he begins to select members of his forthcoming cabinet. Meanwhile, a bizarre series of videos posted on Twitter by actor Randy Quaid has everyone talking, including Donald Trump... but what do they mean?

Finally, as many Americans are traveling in advance of the Thanksgiving holiday, the CDC and other public health organizations continue to warn people around the world to take extra precautions as COVID-19 infections continue to rise. We look at the best safety practices and other holiday news in this episode of Middle Theory.
