REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE 218-214 PANIC ROOM
ROME, GA — Republican congressional candidate Clay Fuller says that Tuesday’s special election runoff in Georgia is “extremely crucial.”
Fuller is facing off against Democrat Shawn Harris in the race to fill the seat in Georgia’s solidly red 14th Congressional District — in the northwest part of the state — left vacant when MAGA firebrand Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stepped down at the beginning of January. Greene quit Congress with a year left in her term, after a bitter falling out with President Donald Trump.
In the latest episode of “Congressional Majority: Now Featuring a Missing Tile,” Trump-backed Republican Clay Fuller is calling Tuesday’s Georgia runoff “extremely crucial,” which is political code for “please do not let the math embarrass us again.” The race is for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s old seat in a district Trump won by 37 points, so naturally it’s being treated like a cliffhanger instead of a formality, because modern democracy apparently enjoys making simple things sweat. Fuller, a local district attorney and Air National Guard lieutenant colonel, says voters are ready to send a “MAGA America first fighter” to Capitol Hill, while Republicans cling to a 218–214 House majority so slim it looks like it was assembled from leftover parts and patriotic hope. And all of this arrives right after Greene exited Congress following a bitter falling-out with Trump, proving once again that in Washington, loyalty is sacred right up until it isn’t, at which point the whole operation becomes a very serious emergency with a press release.

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 DayJune 20, 2026
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 settlers of western Virginia defied the state's vote to secede from the Union, and on June 20 West Virginia formally entered the Union as an anti-slave state. 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?
