TRUMP GUARD FIGHT ESCALATES… US SUING ITSELF?
Dalisia Ballinger and her son, Braylon, express gratitude to President Trump for deploying the National Guard and enhancing their community’s safety.
FIRST ON FOX: A conservative watchdog urged a federal appeals court Wednesday to toss Washington, D.C.’s National Guard lawsuit, arguing the city cannot sue itself because it is part of the federal government.
“To start, one cannot sue oneself,” Oversight Project lawyers wrote in a brief in the case. “And that is what this case ultimately is—the United States suing itself. Moreover, it is a foundational principle of the law that a municipal corporation cannot sue its sovereign creator.”
A legal grenade in Washington: a conservative watchdog is urging a federal appeals court to throw out D.C.’s National Guard lawsuit, arguing the district can’t sue itself because it’s part of the federal government. The case, born from Trump’s deployment of troops to make the capital “safe and beautiful,” has now morphed into a fight over whether D.C. can even challenge that move in federal court — a ruling that could echo far beyond the Guard dispute and into the city’s long-running battle for self-government. Meanwhile, residents like Dalisia Ballinger and her son Braylon say the troops have made their community feel safer.

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?

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.

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?
