Welcome to the Daily Briefing, Thanksgiving edition. First, a few headlines: |
Are you ready for the parade? |
It's not Thanksgiving morning without the voices of Al, Savannah and Hoda on the TV! The 99th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will return to the streets of Manhattan and television screens of millions Thursday starting at 8:30 a.m. ET, ushering in the 2025 holiday season. Seven new floats are slated to appear in the parade this year, along with five new balloon characters. | People walk near the new Buzz Lightyear balloon during Macy's Balloon Inflation 2025 on Wednesday in New York City.

The cost of Thanksgiving 2025 |
Even with full funding for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) restored, many Americans are spending this Thanksgiving still waiting for federal support to feed their families. States like Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama and South Carolina issue benefits as late in the month as the 22nd or 23rd, giving officials and recipients little time to restore normal operations before the holiday. |
To honor the nation's 250th anniversary, USA TODAY and USA TODAY Network reporters are retracing some of the country's most iconic journeys, taking you from the past into the present to explore, celebrate, and remember who we are as a nation.

A storied holiday football game |
