  • On the next throughline from NPR, the mother of Thanksgiving.

  • If every state should join in Union Thanksgiving on the 24th of this month,

  • would it not be a renewed pledge of love and loyalty to the Constitution of the United States?

  • Listen to throughline in the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Hi there, it's Tamara Keith.

  • Before we get to the show, a quick message.

  • So we've already shouted out an NPR donor earlier this week for Giving Tuesday,

  • but it's never too late for one more.

  • Thank you, PoliticsPod listener, Kristen from Connecticut.

  • Kristen calls the pod informative and trustworthy and writes,

  • I have learned so much from your amazing reporters over the years.

  • Your work is critically important now.

  • Kristen.

  • Thank you for the self-esteem boost and the support.

  • This year it means a lot because as of October 1st,

  • NPR is now operating without federal funding for the first time in our history.

  • We know you value the NPR politics pod, maybe like Kristen.

  • It's because of our reporters in Washington and around the country.

  • Or it's our election coverage that keeps you informed or how we help you make sense of the big political stories.

  • Whatever the reason, you can help us keep going.
