This past year, the House of Representatives has been one of boiling tensions, from floor fights over the office of House Speaker, to threatened government shutdowns – and now, the booting of New York Republican George Santos, only the third Congressman since the Civil War to be expelled from Congress.

In her latest film, the musical adaptation of "The Color Purple," Taraji P. Henson plays Shug, a fearless woman who breaks the rules while helping other women see how strong they can be.

On average, a staggering 132 Americans kill themselves every single day, with every demographic at risk of suicidal ideation. Correspondent Susan Spencer talks with experts about this major public health crisis and the need to eliminate the shame that can be attached to mental health struggles, which prevents those suffering from finding the help that could save their lives. Spencer also talks with a professor who undertook about 10 suicide attempts, from as young as age six, but who - after defying the stigma by writing about it - today believes he will never do so again.

In this preview of an interview to air on "CBS News Sunday Morning" December 3, former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, author of "Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning," tells John Dickerson that the Constitutional checks and balances that could prevent a dictatorship in the United States have been co-opted by Republicans in Congress in order to appease Donald Trump.
