TRUMP LOVES THUNE, WANTS HIM TO LEAD… MORE LIKE LEAVE VACATION
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the President is calling on Congress to return to Washington, DC, to “do its job” and reopen the government after lawmakers fled town on vacation, leaving many Department of Homeland Security employees without a paycheck.
This comes after the Senate passed a garbage funding bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, but without funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and ditched town.
In a plot twist that would make even Kafka cringe, President Trump’s latest episode of “Come Back, Congress, We Need You” features Senate Republicans funding everything at Homeland Security except the pesky Immigration and Customs Enforcement—which, apparently, is the VIP section no one wants to pay for. While TSA agents clutch their paychecks signed via executive order like lifeboats on the Titanic, the rest of DHS agencies wait in the defunded cold, proving once again that Washington’s biggest talent is juggling blame: Trump loathes the Senate’s “soft play” but remains oddly affectionate toward them, while Press Secretary Leavitt scolds lawmakers for playing chicken with paychecks in a theater of government where vacations apparently outrank national security. Fingers crossed the SAVE America Act isn’t as soft as the Senate because, you know, nothing says “doing its job” like a government furlough party and a filibuster’s equivalent of a half-hearted golf clap.

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?
