Description
Since 2017, twitter support 280 characters. But for compatibility reason, all texts are truncated to 140 characters by default (with a "..." at end of statuses).
To be able to have all the text, we should add a parameter: tweet_mode="extended" and get the statuses from "full_text" and not "text" like discussed here https://github.com/bear/python-twitter/issues/420
I think this would be easy to do but I failed since my level in Python is poor!
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the Twitter status-fetching integration and trace where tweet_mode and the status text field are handled. Check how truncated and extended responses are represented, then verify that requesting extended mode preserves full_text while existing default behavior remains compatible.
