This week's main story is about the attempts made by Donald Trump and his supporters to undermine the upcoming election, why those attempts might seem valid to someone you know, love or are related to – all different – and what we can expect after election night.

This week we did something a bit different. We covered two main stories, both related to immigration. One is about mass deportations, and the other is about the man behind one of America's most popular anthems, "God Bless the USA," but they're both — at their core — about Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Because any story about America is sort of a story about Mountain Dew Baja Blast.
