## Resource

California used to have election results by the eleven o'clock news just like every other state. Now it takes days and possibly months and they think they are doing a great job. We explain what broke and why it matters for democratic trust. Four House Republicans voted for the War Powers Act to end the Iran war — a rare and notable break from Trump that now heads to the Senate for a showdown. And John Bolton walked into court today and pleaded guilty to one of the eighteen classified document counts against him. Is the former National Security Advisor actually going to prison? Big stories today and we are not sugarcoating any of them. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support .
