Morning Jolt: Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the last Morning Jolt until Monday. Please have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Today we put aside the usual political rigamarole and focus on everything that's gone right in what has been a difficult and painful year for so many Americans.

We've lost beloved figures such as Alex Trebek, Sean Connery, Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and many more famous and accomplished figures.
