The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
@DanielLubetzky thank you for your comments on #OverheardWithEvanSmith ! You said: “I’m not an optimist, not a pessimist, I’m a ???” I want to recall the word you used; I think it’s very important. What was that word? Thank you again for your encouraging message.
Intimidation tactics are not going to keep @SenMarkKelly from his duty to protect our constitution.
My husband is a patriot. He’s served our country since he was 22 years old – no matter how dangerous the mission. That’s who he is. Proud of you, sweetie.
For four years, Afghan girls and women have led a liberation movement — fighting to end gender apartheid through classrooms, courtrooms and coalitions.
@MalalaFund is continuing to back this fight with $3 million in grants to keep girls learning and defend their rights. Learn more about our new grant partners: https://t.co/0YcWqZl4fH.
The Texas quorum break explained by @jamestalarico. What the Texas Democrats are doing isn't illegal; it is a way to show that what the people in power are doing is unconstitutional. Trump is trying to escape accountability for his lawlessness.

PROPS ARE DUE:
To the South African President -- to keep your cool, in the face of such raging stupidity and unhinged lunacy. Many of us thought you should have walked out, but you hung in there, calm as a cucumber. KUDOS!
To Peter Alexander -- well done, man. You asked him the tough question that more of your peers need to be doing. It was a valid question, thank you.
Today, 390 people are back home – both military and civilians. Tomorrow and the day after – the next stages will follow. The formula is “a thousand for a thousand.”
What matters most is that Ukraine is bringing its people home. I thank everyone around the world who is helping.
And just as we succeed in this, we must succeed in everything else. A ceasefire is needed. Diplomatic steps toward a real peace are needed. A new and effective security architecture is needed. We are bringing our partners together to make this happen. It is clearly time to increase the pressure on Russia, to achieve not just one result, but everything that is necessary.
When Russia takes a whole week just to come up with a so-called “memorandum” as their response to calls for a ceasefire – this is nothing but mockery of the entire world. So much time wasted.
Every day of this war costs lives. Of course, in Russia, lives don’t count. But the world must count them. New sanctions against Russia are needed. I thank everyone who is advocating for this.
