Podcast appearances and mentions of Elissa Slotkin

It's Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report On today's program: ABC's Jonathan Karl tells Mayor Zohran Mamdani that the Republicans will make him the face of the Democratic party to which Mamdani responds with, "let them". The mayor then lists all of the accomplishments of his administration - a list that would be impressive for an entire term, let alone in just under 7 months in office. Jen Psaki asks Rep. AOC to respond to Sen. Elissa Slotkin's call for the need for change in Democratic leadership. Cortez says that if elected officials are going to call for change, then they need to elaborate on what kind of change they're talking about. Do you want the party to be abashedly working class or do you want to deepen the ties between he parties and its corporate donors. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson holds a press conference where he reads the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America. Speaker Johnson fails at fear mongering as the platform sounds reasonable and includes some ideas that even conservatives would agree with. We are joined by Sufia Khalid, deputy director of the National Security Criminal Defense Center at the Muslim Legal Fund of America and an attorney for one of the Prairieland Nine—a group of anti-ICE protesters in Texas who were sentenced to 30 to 100 years in prison after federal prosecutors accused them of being an "antifa terror cell." Chris Geidner, journalist and publisher of the Law Dork newsletter, joins the program to discuss the past week's Supreme Court rulings. In the Fun Half: If one throws a Great American 250 State Fair in the Mall of DC but no one is around to see it, did it really happen? Fox News says that thousands of people are participating but unfortunately the camera shows that there aren't even hundreds of people at the fair. Meanwhile down the street from the fair at the reflecting pool the National Guard is patrolling for loiters as a recorded announcement warns people to keep it moving. Rep. Thomas Massie is stopped on the street by a Fox digital reporter and asked about some of his scandals to which Massie responds by calling the reporter gay. Senator Ted Cruz says that antisemitism is a gateway drug to anticapitalism. Renowned idiot Dave Smith blames the Iran war's historic unpopularity for the rise in socialism. All that and more.

Let's talk about Trump's troops at polls and Elissa Slotkin.…

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: Elon Musk is set to become the world's first billionaire as Space X launches its initial public offer today. A More Perfect Union explains how this sketchy IPO could destroy many people's 401(K) accounts. Heather 'Digby' Parton, columnist at Salon and publisher of the Hullabaloo blog, joins to recap the week's news. Topics include the war in Iran, midterm elections and more. In the Fun Half: CNN airs a compilation showing the 39 times that Donald Trump claimed that we a deal with Iran is imminent. Trillionaires Trump is now claiming that Strait of Hormuz has been open the whole time, but we just didn't know it because it was a secret. Shhhhh don't tell the Ayatollah. Department of Energy secretary Chris Wright admits under oath that he lied when he tweeted that the U.S. had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz back in March. That kind of conflicts with Trump's claim that the strait has been open. Elissa Slotkin issues a press release stating that she believes that Michael Martin, a Trump pick for a U.S. district court, would be different from the president's other picks in that he will admit that Biden won the election in 2020 and that January 6 was an attack on the Capitol. Unfortunately for Slotkin, Martin answered those questions in the exact same fashion as all of Trump's other sycophantic nominees. Marco Rubio cites three examples of what make America so unique; our constitution, the moon landing and the UFC. We take a trip back to 2018 to watch Susan Collins on CNN promising that Bret Kavanaugh would not overturn Roe v Wade. All that and more.

The NDAA is two thousand pages of strategy, pork, and the occasional genuinely big idea — this year including a new robotics combatant command and the first legislated guardrails on AI in the kill chain. Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, who served in OSD Policy and three terms in the House before joining the Senate Armed Services Committee, joins ChinaTalk to break down what got in, what got voted down, and why markup days are the only two days a year the Senate acts like a functioning institution. We discuss… Why NDAA markup is the Senate's best two days of the year — and what it would take to make the rest of the institution work like that, The AI Guardrails Act, the Anthropic debate, and why no one SecDef or AI company should set the rules for the kill chain, Her bipartisan bill with Bernie Moreno banning Chinese connected vehicles — and the BYDs now streaming over the Canadian border, Why Michiganders care deeply about China but not (yet) about Taiwan, The Democratic playbook if the party flips a chamber in November, Data ownership, the Midwest's data center revolt, and why a healthy democracy would be talking about AI every single day. song: https://suno.com/s/HdtwRInfqQsDTVMq Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's episode includes host Samantha Shriber's coverage of the Mackinac Policy Conference, a yearly gathering of government, business and nonprofit leaders hosted by the Detroit Regional Chamber.  MIRS sits down with David Jurcak, president of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. They talk about hiring tourism employees from overseas, concerns around the Shepler's Ferry monopoly and the United States' 250th anniversary (3:19).  U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, the Holly Democrat, also explains why, as a former CIA officer, she sees Chinese cars driving into the country as "surveillance packages on wheels" (27:22).  Also, President Brian Calley of the Small Business Association of Michigan says that 42% of members are one to three years away from no longer being able to offer health insurance due to rate increases (40:39).

While veteran students pursuing a four-year degree receive 100% of their monthly housing allowance for the duration of their program, veterans entering union apprenticeships face a steep penalty: their housing support is slashed by 20% every six months. In this episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, we sit down with Joseph Sharpe Jr. (Director of the National Veterans Employment and Education Commission at the American Legion) and Policy Associate Steve Betsch to break down the Reducing Arbitrary Barriers to Apprenticeship Act of 2026 (S.3993). This bipartisan Senate legislation, introduced by Senators Tim Sheehy and Elissa Slotkin, aims to eliminate this arbitrary step-down and bring true parity to veteran benefits. What We Discuss in This Episode: The GI Bill's Modern Flaw: Why the historical assumption that rising apprentice wages offset housing cuts no longer matches today's cost-of-living realities. Personal Stakes: Steve Betsch shares his journey from a Navy submarine to graduating debt-free, illustrating how critical these benefits are to financial survival during transitions. National Security & The Workforce: How bridging this benefit gap can help recruit veterans to fill the nation's 600,000 vacant skilled trades jobs and rebuild critical infrastructure like American shipbuilding. A Call to Action for Labor Leaders: How union locals can throw their weight behind S.3993 to get this legislation across the finish line. Take Action: Union leaders and members are encouraged to contact the offices of Senator Tim Sheehy or Senator Elissa Slotkin to submit a formal letter of support for S.3993.

Establishment types are freaking-out that progressive-populist candidate, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, is leading in the polls over Stevens and state Senator Mallory McMorrow. Those backing Stevens say she can win in Michigan, and she's the only one who can defeat the presumptive MAGA Republican nominee, "Florida" Mike Rogers, who lost against Elissa Slotkin in their 2024 Senate showdown. Pat Johnston explains why he doesn't fear "Florida" Mike, and neither should you this coming November... as long as Democrats pick the right person.Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can!leftoflansing@gmail.comLeft of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!Music provided by Wanderbeats.

Ahead of the Michigan Political Leadership Program fundraising dinner on April 29, MIRS sat down for a one-on-one conversation with keynote speaker Robert Costa, CBS News' chief Washington analyst.  Costa shares his concerns about the aftermath of a gunman who reportedly stormed past security at last month's White House Correspondents Dinner, and the future of civic dialogue in American politics.  He also talks about the possibility of Michigan seeing a reduction in straight-ticket voters in the fall, and how U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin's (D-Holly) ambitions have become a story for the national media to watch. (1:15)

Today we have William Lawrence, who is running to represent Michigan's 7th congressional district in and around Lansing, and has the geographical hand tattoo to prove it.

After the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, every major Democrat rushed out the same statement condemning political violence — Jamie Raskin, Tim Walz, JB Pritzker, Elissa Slotkin, Gretchen Whitmer, all using nearly identical language. Larry puts their statements side by side with what they've actually been saying for years: calling Donald Trump an authoritarian, comparing ICE to Nazi stormtroopers, calling the president an existential threat to democracy, and a devastating montage of Democrat leaders openly calling for violence against Trump and his supporters.

© Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com On our political radar this week… Donald Trump, possessor of the self-proclaimed “Big Brain,” seems to have fully embraced a bunker mentality: his ever-shifting Iran strategy manages neither to sway Tehran nor steady the global economy, but it does keep everyone guessing. Meanwhile, he's tied up in court trying to build an actual bunker—allegedly tucked beneath his $400 million gold-plated ballroom—because nothing says “strong leadership” like preparing to retreat in style. Michigan Democrats attracted a record-setting 7,200-plus delegates to their endorsement convention … along with potential presidential candidates Kamala Harris, Corey Booker and Andy Beshear (as well as home field potential candidates Elissa Slotkin and Gretchen Whitmer). Much to the consternation of party leaders, a sizable contingent of young progressives heckled and booed some of the on-stage candidates … a demonstration that brought quick condemnation from state party chair Curtis Hertel on the party's weekly podcast. Trump's polling numbers continue to plummet. The latest AP-NORC poll has his approval rating a massive 40 points under water: 30% approval, 70% disapproval.  The worst cabinet in generations is getting a huge shakeup with the firing of three of the most incompetent – all of them women. Who's next? Oh, so many bozos from which to choose. Bar-room buddies Hegseth and/or Patel? Bessent? Brainworm Bobby?  Virginia voters narrowly approve a congressional gerrymander that could flip four seats to the benefit of Democrats while Florida struggles to enact what could be the final chapter of the Trump-led gerrymandering quagmire. When it's all said and done, the GOP plan to reinforce its U.S. House majority may well backfire.  Michigan's top officials agree: the latest Trump-branded election conspiracy tour deserves a hard pass. This comes as federal officials are demanding full access to Wayne County's 2024 ballots, apparently treating election records like a clearance rack for future grievances.  The whole exercise doubles as a rehearsal dinner for the GOP's next claim that 2024 was “rigged,” a storyline notably unsupported by facts but eagerly workshopped by two-time election loser John James, who is still auditioning his 2020 script blaming Secretary of State Benson—a plotline first piloted by Mike Rogers and apparently too good (or too baseless) to retire.  Perry Johnson has taken a page out of the Donald Trump playbook, filing an absolutely absurd lawsuit to get some attention. His target: John James, over a campaign flyer which he claims implies James is already Governor of Michigan. By the way, the latest poll from EPIC-MRA shows that our actual Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, has nearly 100% name identification.  The GOP gubernatorial field is down by one. Former state House Speaker Tom Leonard, who was polling in single digits, has dropped out of the race 2 days after filing his nominating petitions. The man who led Trump Airlines into bankruptcy is brokering a deal for the federal government to take partial ownership of the equally prestigious Spirit Airlines … at a cost of a half-billion dollars. Democrats are focusing on gas prices as they challenge Republicans running for reelection to Congress. One target in Michigan: Lansing area Congressman Tom Barrett, who used the price of gas to flip the mid-Michigan district in 2024. He promised back then to get gas prices under control. Meanwhile, a new report from the non-partisan Anderson Economic Group says the ongoing high price of gas is costing a typical family $100 a month. Former Michigan Democratic and Republican party officials are teaming up in an effort to eliminate candidate nominating conventions for top state offices, arguing the practice disenfranchises voters.. The effort is led by former Michigan Democratic Party chair Lon Johnson, and former Republican Executive Director of the Michigan Republican Party Jason Roe. Mark is a former Michigan Democratic Party chair, and Jeff is a former Michigan GOP Executive Director. They offer their perspective on the idea. The battle lines are drawn in Michigan for the November elections as candidates near and far file their petitions, and the state's Democrats give preliminary approval to their candidates for most statewide offices in an often raucous convention. Joining the podcast this week: the Democrats' choice for Attorney General, Washtenaw County prosecuting attorney Eli Savit. A native of Ann Arbor, Savit attended Kalamazoo College in western Michigan, where he played four years of college basketball. Following his college graduation, he worked as a public school teacher—teaching both special-education and general-education 8th-grade U.S. history. After graduating from the University of Michigan Law School, Eli worked for two federal judges. He was then selected to clerk on the United States Supreme Court for Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Prior to his election as Washtenaw County prosecutor in 2020, he served as senior legal counsel for the city of Detroit. As prosecutor, Eli has established dedicated special-victims and domestic violence units, led the successful investigation and prosecution of multiple “cold-case” rape cases, launched multiple successful programs that allow people dealing with behavioral health and substance-use issues to obtain rehabilitative services— while avoiding a criminal conviction, and established Washtenaw County's first-ever conviction integrity and expungement unit, which remedies wrongful convictions and provides legally eligible residents free assistance in clearing old criminal records. Thank you for your attention to this matter. © Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com

After lobbing multiple threats at Iran earlier this month, including ending “a whole civilization,” it was ultimately President Donald Trump who capitulated – announcing two weeks ago a ceasefire before extending that ceasefire today, pending an Iranian proposal for a permanent end to the war.

Later, more on the fractures in the MAGA coalition with Angelo Carusone and Molly Jong-Fast.  For more, follow us on Instagram @deadlinewh For more from Nicolle, follow and download her podcast, “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace,” wherever you get your podcasts.To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

We return to discuss the strange US-Iran-Israel (?) ceasefire that Israel immediately broke, and all of the lies that flowed from it. Despite Lebanon being included in the ceasefire, that didn't stop Israel from launching Operation “Eternal Darkness,” which dropped 100 bombs in 10 minutes, killing hundreds.

In breaking news, Senator Elissa Slotkin is taking on Trump's genocidal threats against the Iranian People, and reminding the military chain of command that they have a duty not to follow illegal, war crime-oriented orders of the deranged Commander in Chief. Popok reports that this is EXACTLY the time that Senator Slotkin, Senator Kelly and 4 other members of Congress who served in the military predicted would happen when they made their now famous “Don't Give up the Ship” video which led Trump to try to indict them for treason.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1312: Lawmakers push to block Chinese EVs, TruVideo trains the next-gen tech to sell service with video, and stop-start tech may be on its way out as drivers—and regulators—hit the brakes.Three Democratic senators are urging President Trump to block Chinese automakers from building in the U.S. or importing via North America. With tariffs already high, the debate is shifting from competition to national security.Senator Tammi Baldwin, Elissa Slotkin, and Chuck Schumer warn Chinese OEMs setting up U.S. plants could create an “insurmountable” advantage over domestic automakers.Republican Senator Bernie Moreno plans legislation to fully seal the market—blocking Chinese vehicles, software, and partnerships entirely.Pressure is building across the industry and Capitol Hill to keep Chinese automakers out ahead of a potential Trump–Xi meeting.Biden-era 2025 rules effectively banned Chinese passenger vehicles over data security concerns, with strong industry backing, and current tariffs are around 100%, but consumer interest is rising.“Inviting China's automakers…would trigger a national security crisis that could never be reversed,” the senators wrote.Turning wrenches isn't enough anymore. Today's top techs also need to communicate, and TruVideo is stepping in to help, offering its AI-powered video platform to trade schools for free to help students master customer-facing skills before they hit the service lane.The focus: teaching students how to clearly explain repairs through video—boosting trust, approvals, and CSI.Inspection videos are proven to increase revenue and transparency in service departments, but as Liza Borches shared last week at the NY Auto Forum, only 26% of customers are receiving video MPIs at franchise dealerships.CEO Joe Shaker, a former dealer himself, says the platform gives instructors a structured way to grade student videos—evaluating clarity, how the vehicle is presented, and how well recommendations are explained for customer understanding.“You can see the improvement from one assignment to the next, and that gives us a concrete way to measure communication. By introducing these tools to students, we're helping shape the habits that will define the next generation of service professionals.”Auto stop-start tech was built to save fuel—but it's been driving customers crazy for years. Now, policy changes and consumer frustration may finally be putting the feature on the chopping block.Stop-start systems shut off engines at stops to improve fuel economy—but many drivers say it feels jerky and unnatural.Adoption surged from under 1% in 2012 to about 58% of new gas vehicles by 2024, driven by federal incentives.The Trump administration recently moved to eliminate the regulatory credits that fueled its growth, signJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

The boys talk about the insane drama that unfolded after Abdul El-Sayed announced his two campaign events in Michigan with Hasan Piker. Mallory McMorrow made a statement that contradicted her past stance of appearing on shows with large audiences and compared Hasan to Nick Fuentes. Democrats with 2028 dreams, like Elissa Slotkin and Corey Booker, are also inserting themselves into the drama. Broadly, Democrats are floundering when it comes to their association with Israel by performatively condemning AIPAC money without understanding why AIPAC money is bad in the first place. Of course, the war in Iran still wages on, and our Democrats are just waiting it out.Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/ Get 40% off Ground News: https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=headintheoffice YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) Elissa Slotkin & "alpha energy"(10:05) Intro/reviews(16:15) Mallory McMorrow, Hasan Piker, and the MI Senate race(43:15) Democrats reject Hasan, more McMorrow thoughts(1:00:09) Iran updates: the war & the response(1:11:53) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:MY DEMOCRATS - https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/03/25/mallory-mcmorrow-michigan-senate-chuck-schumer-00246369 https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/sen-elissa-slotkin-hits-back-205346705.html https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/24/2028-democrats-reject-aipac-00841350https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/28/hasan-piker-democrats-midterms-2028-00849453Iran updates - https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/29/world/iran-war-trump-israel-oil

If you're as terminally online as the rest of us at Zeteo, you may have noticed that conservative podcasters are at war with each other. Ben Shapiro is attacking Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson is attacking Ben Shapiro, and everyone is attacking Mark Levin. So for this week's 'We're Not Kidding', Mehdi is joined by Krystal Ball, co-host of the massively popular online news show 'Breaking Points', to unpack all of the MAGA drama.  The two also get into how Donald Trump's disastrous war with Iran is creating even MORE rifts within the Republican party, Israel and Netanyahu's role in instigating the war, and why we shouldn't totally trust defectors like Trump's now former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent. "They are very comfortable saying, 'Israel, Israel, Israel. It's all Israel's fault,'" Krystal says. "But at the end of the day, this is Donald Trump's war. He's not a baby. He's the most powerful man on the planet." The two also discuss: Krystal's famous hardball interview with Sen. Elissa Slotkin. How AIPAC's brand has become "completely toxic" with Democratic voters. Why podcasts will be important for 2028 presidential candidates. And whether Gavin Newsom will be brave enough to appear on 'Mehdi Unfiltered' or 'Breaking Points'...

iIt's not just college basketball Madness – the bracket busters extend into the halls of Congress where two of Donald Trump's legion of incompetents got busted over the administration's war on Iran … and on the American people.  Michigan's two Senators took part in the Homeland Security Committee's grilling of onetime MMA fighter and plumber Markwayne Mullin who is set to inherit Kristi Noem's office … presumably minus any romancing with Corey Lewandowski. Elissa Slotkin tried to get a commitment that ICE agents won't be showing up at voting precincts in November … with a response that wasn't exactly reassuring. Gary Peters reminded Mullin that it's Republicans who are voting against getting paychecks for TSA employees at airports. Peters re-emphasized what he said on last week's episode of this podcast about the growing mess at airports. Also on our poli-radar this week The Trump grift-and-grab family found another opportunity for personal enrichment. Jared Kushner, the not-a-government-employee who is taking the lead on Middle East negotiations, is simultaneously soliciting $5-billion from Middle East potentates in the form of investments in the Kushner wealth management company. In Michigan, state House Speaker MAGA Matt Hall is taking a page out of the Donald Trump Ego-Massage Manual, bragging about winning an apparently fictitious award for government transparency. The problem with the organization honoring Hall? It apparently doesn't exist. State Democrats responded by offering Hall with the equally bogus SAD Award, or Speaker's Asinine Decision Award. Oakland County hosted Vice President James Donald Bowman – or is it James David Hamel? Or is he sticking with J.D. Vance? Whatever he calls himself, the self-proclaimed Appalachian Hillbilly checked in to tell Michiganders “don't believe your eyes and ears: the economy is really just peachy.” The Jeff Epstein web of debauchery threatens to tarnish Michigan's famed Interlochen Center for the Arts, with state Democrats calling for an investigation into what they described as disturbing connections between Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell and the northern Michigan arts institution.  Donald Trump says a former living President privately supported the Middle East War and wishes he had done it, with all four former living Presidents denying that they've even talked with Trump about the war. But … we haven't heard denials yet from President Jeb Bartlet or President Frank Underwood, or the ghost of the late great Abraham Lincoln. Michigan is a national political center of attention. Governor, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State, Attorney General, the entire congressional delegation and the entire legislature are all on the ballot in November. Covering all of this is Bridge Michigan's outstanding political reporter Lauren Gibbons. Lauren covers state politics and policy for Bridge Michigan. Prior to joining Bridge’s Capitol team, she worked at MLive, where she led coverage of the state Legislature and the redistricting process, and before that covered the state Senate for MIRS News.  She has covered the ins and outs of Michigan politics for nearly a decade and has won awards both for her political coverage and her work documenting the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case.

Joe Scarborough spent his morning lying to his audience about the SAVE Act. Then someone found his 2003 clip. It did not go well for him. The SAVE Act has two simple provisions: prove you're a citizen before you register to vote, and show a photo ID at the polls. Both are already consistent with existing law — and both poll at 80–90% approval with the American public, including Democrats. But on Morning Joe, Scarborough told his viewers that Republicans "don't even allow your driver's license" to be used to vote. That is the opposite of what the bill does. What makes it worse: in 2003, Scarborough called giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants "absolutely outrageous" and accused California Democrats of buying votes. Same issue. Completely reversed position. Chuck Schumer held a rally outside the Capitol flanked by pre-printed signs and an organic, grassroots crowd that definitely wasn't coordinated by outside PACs. He called the SAVE Act "Jim Crow 2.0," warned that Elon Musk and an algorithm would kick millions of Americans off the rolls, and argued the whole thing was a Republican power grab. Then, seemingly without realizing it, he said the quiet part out loud: "the evidence is almost no illegal immigrants vote." Almost none. A Florida city council race was just decided by one vote. Almost none is not none. Senator Elissa Slotkin — former CIA officer, current U.S. Senator from Michigan — used her time at the Mark Mullin confirmation hearing to warn that putting "armed ICE officers at polling locations" would mean America has "lost the plot." ICE agents are law enforcement. They are all armed. That's standard. The fact that Democrats are specifically terrified of ICE agents being near polling places is, as Larry notes, a tell about exactly who they're worried about protecting at the ballot box. Senator John Kennedy offered the clearest path forward: if the SAVE Act can't survive a Senate filibuster, pass it through reconciliation. Republicans don't need Democrats to get this done. And if they can't get the whole bill, Larry's suggestion is blunter — the next time a Democrat stands at the Senate floor and says "I support photo ID," hand them a one-page bill and make them vote on it right there. Call the bluff. Get something done.

At Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, 41-year-old Ayman Mohamed Ghazali, a Lebanese-born naturalized U.S. citizen, allegedly rammed a truck into the building near the early childhood center, breached doors, drove down a hallway, and engaged in gunfire with security officers, who shot him. No children or synagogue members were killed or seriously injured. Separately, at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former Virginia Army National Guard member previously convicted and imprisoned for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, entered a classroom during an ROTC session, shouted "Allahu Akbar," and opened fire, killing one and injuring two others. He was subdued and killed by ROTC cadets. The FBI is investigating both incidents as potential acts of terrorism or targeted violence. Is Iran activating sleeper cells?

With President Trump set to give his State of the Union address on Tuesday, CBS News spoke to the president's supporters in a Republican stronghold in North Carolina about his first year back in office. On immigration, a key component of Mr. Trump's campaign, people were conflicted over the tactics used by ICE. House Majority leader Steve Scalise told "CBS Mornings" Iran isn't done "trying to create a nuclear weapon" amid reports that congressional leaders are expected at the White House Tuesday for a briefing on Iran. Scalise also spoke about President Trump's State of the Union address, saying Mr. Trump will focus on what the administration has done regarding affordability, adding "we have more work to do." Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan spoke to "CBS Mornings" ahead of President Trump's first State of the Union address of his second term. The Democratic senator criticized Mr. Trump on the economy and affordability, saying he isn't focusing on issues that impact average Americans. She also questioned the administration's strategic objective in Iran and said the "Gang of Eight" will be briefed by Secretary Rubio as early as Tuesday. Prosecutors in Kouri Richins' trial alleged the murder of her husband was motivated by his money. The Utah mom is accused of poisoning her husband with a lethal dose of fentanyl four years ago. She later wrote a children's book about grief. Matt Gutman has the latest. Oprah on "CBS Mornings" revealed "Kin" by Tayari Jones as her next book club selection. Kin is about two motherless daughters who have been best friends since early childhood, but their lives take different paths. This is only the tenth time Oprah has picked the same author twice.

Today's Headlines: The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files escalated after the Department of Justice released a letter signed by Deputy AG Todd Blanche outlining redactions and listing “politically exposed” names — mostly celebrities and public figures already publicly referenced. Attorney General Pam Bondi said no additional files will be released, despite reports that millions of pages remain sealed. Consequences are, at least, unfolding abroad.
