Today will be one of the busiest day on the roads for Thanksgiving travelers, according to Triple-A. Tomorrow will also see millions on the roads, as well as the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Some 73 million people are expected to drive to their holiday destination.        Attorney General Pam Bondi says she will appeal after the criminal indictments against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey were dismissed by a federal judge. Both claimed the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the US attorney for the Eastern District was unlawful. Comey was indicted for allegedly lying to Congress about the Trump-Russia investigation, while James was indicted for mortgage fraud.        President Trump has accepted an invitation to visit China. In a post on Truth Social, Trump says he had a "very good" call with Chinese President Xi Jinping [[ she jeen-peeng ]] on Monday morning. The President said he and Xi discussed many topics including Russia-Ukraine, fentanyl and farm products, and he'll be meeting Xi in April.        The oldest survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre is dead. Viola Fletcher passed away Monday at the age of 111. Former President Barack Obama was among the many to pay tribute to Fletcher, posting on X that he and former First Lady Michelle Obama were sending their love to her family.        Mexican farmers have been blocking traffic along sections of the Southern border to protest imported products. The farmers are demanding more federal aid from their government to help them grow sorghum, corn and soybeans.        Lottery players will have one more shot at the massive Powerball jackpot before the Thanksgiving holiday. There was no grand prize winner on Monday night so the jackpot jumps to 681-million-dollars with the next drawing on Wednesday.
