Buckle up — I’m about to ruin your Thanksgiving.
According to the owner of The Gentle Barn animal sanctuary in New York state, turkeys are tender. And it’s not just their meat, it’s also their souls. The Washington Post covered a story about an animal sanctuary holding cuddle sessions with their resident turkeys — who are apparently very snuggly.

Today Former Vice Pres. Mike Pence released his memoir entitled “So Help Me God.” In the book he shares insights on into Trump’s decision to not nominate Sen. Mitt Romney as Secretary of State during his term as well as his then-friendship with Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake. He also often cites his religious faith various times throughout the book to help illustrate the reasons he took actions throughout his life and in office.
Any criticism Pence has of the former president remains subdued. Nevertheless, he opens the memoir with his recollections of the riots on Jan. 6, 2021 saying, “I had always been loyal to President Donald Trump … but today things had to be different.”
