SENATOR RESCUES OR INFLICTS? ARMED PROTEST BRAWL!
A Green Party candidate for Senate from North Carolina was ejected from a Senate armed services subcommittee hearing Wednesday after disrupting the testimony in an anti-war protest.

A Green Party Senate candidate from North Carolina, Marine veteran Brian McGinnis, was forcibly removed from a Senate armed services subcommittee hearing after disrupting testimony by U.S. generals with anti-war protests, shouting “No one wants to fight for Israel” while dressed in uniform. Republican Sen. Tim Sheehy intervened to assist Capitol Police in ejecting McGinnis, during which the candidate’s arm appeared to snap as he clung to a door, sparking accusations from McGinnis and Green Party officials that Sheehy caused the injury, though video suggests the arm broke before Sheehy made contact. Sheehy defended his actions as an attempt to deescalate the situation while officers struggled to remove McGinnis, who was described as resisting arrest.

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?
