WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday released a copy of an 8-page letter she penned to President-elect Donald Trump, one where she called out the brash real estate mogul for appearing to welsh on a campaign vow to "drain the swamp" by naming a lengthy list of lobbyists and beltway insiders to his White House transition team.
"The American people are watching to see if you were sincere in your campaign promises to look out for the interests of working families, rather than the interests of the rich and powerful," wrote the Democrat from Cambridge. "Now it is time to live up to those promises. Unfortunately, you already appear to be failing."
For most Americans, Thanksgiving is about what author Melanie Kirkpatrick calls the three Fs—family, feasting, and football. But, beyond the well-worn story about that first feast shared by pilgrims and Indians in 1621, few of us know the history of the holiday—or how deeply it is woven into our experience as a nation.
