The Department of Homeland Security issues a nationwide domestic terrorism alert,

warning about the potential for more political violence.

The question is, will disinformation and conspiracy theories fuel more attacks?

Plus, a possible alternative to convicting Donald Trump. As Democrats weigh their options,

the question is whether they can prevent him from holding future office, even if he's acquitted.
