BREAKING: A federal judge has thrown out the criminal indictment of James Comey, ruling that Trump-installed prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed and had no lawful authority to bring the case. The court found her actions violated federal law and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.

Thank you @CBSSunday for the chance to talk about our founding and why this is a story for all of us. Hope everyone can watch The American Revolution on PBS starting Nov. 16

If I were in charge of the state budget and had just watched $825 million unexpectedly disappear, I suppose I’d try to bluff my way out of this mess, too.

Iowa's economy is ranked 49th.
Personal income growth: 48th.
We're number #1 for our cancer growth rate.
And our once top-ranked public education system is now middle of the pack.

We’re winning the contests we want to lose and losing the contests we want to win.

Instead of nickel-and-diming already underpaid educators, why don't we cut the school voucher scam that gives millions in taxpayer funds to Iowa's wealthiest families?

[Andy Crozier @acrozier22]

Congrats on the Iowa DOGE committee for creating a report that is nothing more than an echo chamber for bad ideas in public education.

Want to save Iowa $400 million a year? End the voucher scam.

A new Guardian–Harris poll found that 75% of Americans say their household costs have risen by at least $100 a month despite Trump’s claims that inflation is “over,” with most blaming tariffs and government policies for continued price hikes. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed that the Trump administration rescinded some of the layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly laid off on Friday. Some were involved with the federal measles response or the response on Ebola. How does a mistake like this happen?

JD VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because Schumer shut down the government

BRENNAN: But this was a White House decision to lay off these individuals

Pollster: 61% oppose Trump deploying active duty military in the US cities, 58% oppose deploying the National Guard. When you get 3 in 5 Americans agreeing on anything, you know it's a political loser. And about two thirds of independents oppose the deployment of either active duty military or National Guard into US cities
