CORNYN BETRAYS MAGA WITH VOTE?
The race to become the Republican nominee in Texas’ upcoming Senate election is coming to a head.
After failing to secure more than 50 percent of the vote during Tuesday’s primary race, incumbent Sen. John Cornyn will face off against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a May runoff election to determine who will represent the Grand Old Party on the state’s 2026 ticket. While President Trump declined to make an endorsement in the contest prior to this week, it appears the president is now changing his tune.
Trump issued a Truth Social post on Wednesday saying that the primary race “cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer.” He further revealed that he “will be making [his] Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that [he doesn’t] Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE!”
Reports emerged in the hours that followed indicating that the president is preparing to endorse Cornyn, a move that puts him at odds with a sizeable portion of his base, who generally favor the MAGA-aligned Paxton.
While Cornyn has attempted to posture himself as aligned with Trump and conservative causes throughout his 2026 reelection campaign, a look at the senator’s record indicates that he has often sided with the interests of the GOP establishment.
When President Biden and his party pushed for a major gun control package in 2022, all Senate Republicans like Cornyn had to do was say, “No.” But Texas’ senior senator had other ideas.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

West Virginia Day is a state holiday in West Virginia to celebrate its joining the Union in 1863 as the 35th state. The creation of the state was a result of the Civil War.

The day is marked with ceremonies at the state capitol in Charleston and at the West Virginia Independence Hall in Wheeling. It was there that the conventions were held to declare West Virginia's independence from Virginia.

Black TeaJune 20, 2026
Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
