This Day in History: , FDR Establishes the Modern Thanksgiving Holiday.

November 26, 1941.

President Franklin D.

Roosevelt signed a bill officially establishing the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day.

In 1939, Roosevelt had departed from tradition by declaring the next to last Thursday that year as Thanksgiving Day.

The tradition dated back to President Abraham Lincoln, who declared Thanksgiving to fall on the last Thursday of November.

Franklin's deviation sparked considerable controversy.

Some Americans refused to honor the declaration.

But Roosevelt repeated the unpopular proclamation for the next two years.

In 1941, the president admitted his mistake and signed the bill establishing the modern national holiday of Thanksgiving Day

DHS’ New Campaign against IMMIGRATION | ‘Uncle Sam’ Poster asks people to report ‘Foreign Invaders’

The DHS has revived the iconic ‘Uncle Sam’ to urge Americans to report undocumented immigrants, calling them “foreign invaders.” The official poster, backed by the White House, has triggered national outrage over racial profiling and propaganda tactics. Critics say the image recycles war-era fear to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment. With ICE raids in LA and protests planned nationwide, the immigration debate is back in the spotlight—raising questions about democracy, identity, and the line between patriotism and persecution. #UncleSam #DHS #Trump #Immigration #ICE #ForeignInvaders #RacialProfiling #Propaganda #USPolitics #ImmigrantRights #NationalOutrage #WhiteHouse #BreakingNews #AntiICE #CivilRights #Protests #ReportImmigrants #PosterControversy #AmericanValues #USIdentity #DemocracyInCrisis Also Read POTUS Launches $5 Million 'Trump Card' Visa Programme Offering Path To US Citizenship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-launches-5-million-trump-card-visa-programme-offering-path-to-us-citizenship-4179053.html?ref=DMDesc US Lauds 'Phenomenal Partner' Pakistan In 'Combating Terrorism', Hosts COAS Asim Munir; 'Setback' Says Oppn :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-lauds-phenomenal-partner-pakistan-in-combating-terrorism-hosts-coas-asim-munir-setback-sa-4179017.html?ref=DMDesc US Reduces Presence Of Staffers Not Deemed Essential In Middle East As Tensions Rise :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-reduces-presence-of-staffers-not-deemed-essential-in-middle-east-as-tensions-rise-4178953.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

Former Hamas Hostages’ Letter to Trump and Netanyahu REVEALED | Trump Pressed After Edan’s Release

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency.

Trump Signs Orders Scrapping Biden-Era Rules, Targets Appliance And Consumer Product Regulations

President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders repealing key Biden-era energy regulations. These include controversial standards imposed on gas water heaters, household appliances, commercial refrigerators, and walk-in freezers. Backed by Republican lawmakers, the move is framed as a victory for American households and small businesses. Trump stated the repeals will reduce unnecessary burdens, lower energy costs, and return decision-making power to consumers. The orders aim to undo what Trump called last-minute regulations under Biden that hurt everyday Americans and stifled economic freedom in the name of overregulation. #Trump2025 #TrumpOrders #BidenEraRepeal #EnergyRegulations #ApplianceStandards #GasWaterHeaters #FreeMarket #TrumpRepeals #HouseholdAppliances #RegulationRollback #TrumpExecutiveOrder #BidenRulesScrapped #WalkInCoolers #CommercialFreezers #EnergyFreedom #TrumpVsBiden #HomeownerRights #RegulatoryReform #TrumpWhiteHouse #TrumpPolicies Also Read Trump Reacts to Indian Missile Strikes: 'It’s a Shame,' Calls for Swift Resolution :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reacts-to-indian-missile-strikes-it-s-a-shame-calls-for-swift-resolution-4145511.html?ref=DMDesc Trump and Carney Face Off in Oval Office Over Trade War and Tariffs :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-carney-faceoff-oval-office-trade-war-011-4145443.html?ref=DMDesc What Donald Trump’s 100% Tariff On Foreign Films Could Mean For Indian Entertainment Industry | Explained :: https://www.oneindia.com/business/what-donald-trump-s-100-tariff-on-foreign-films-could-mean-for-indian-entertainment-industry-expl-4144927.html?ref=DMDesc
