John F. Kennedy served in Congress, the Senate, and the White House. But he never kept a single paycheck from any of those jobs.
As president, he earned $100,000 a year. That's about $1 million in today's money. But he didn't keep it. He donated every cent to charity. Some of the money went to the United Negro College Fund. Some went to the Boy Scouts. He gave it all away.
He never talked about it much. He just did it. A quiet act of generosity from a man who had more than enough—and chose to share it. 💰💙🤝✨
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
Trump:
- Wants the Supreme Court to rehear cases he loses until they agree with him.
- Eliminates federal agencies that are responsible for working with states in a bipartisan way on safe and fair elections.
- Wants the Post Office to have unchecked discretion on which ballots they choose to deliver on election day, and then call "invalid" any ballots that do not arrive on time.
- Accepts gifts and "donations" from other countries and large corporations and then awards them contracts.
- Wants his executive orders to override the US Constitution.
- Trades stocks based on the policy decisions he makes.
- Focuses more on naming things after himself than on working for the American people.
There has never been a more corrupt, power hungry president in American history.
Ukrainian Defenders share photos of cats living with them at the frontlines.
Many of these cats are then rescued and transported to safer places, often to Defenders' families.
ICE agents killed a man in cold blood at a traffic stop in Houston who had been in this country for 35 years. His son heard about it on a Facebook post and recognized his father’s voice, pleading for help as they left him to bleed out on the street.
If you don’t think ice are the American Gestapo listen to my friend, Werner Reich who was taken by the Nazis when he was 14 years old and put in three different death camps. He was in Auschwitz the year I was born 1944.
I have filmed Holocaust survivors for many years. Their stories have never been more important. #neveragainisnow
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) statement defending his constituent David Hearn, who is charged with damaging Reflecting Pool... (It ain't subtle)
"Davey Hearn would never desecrate a federal building or landmark by writing his name on it or affixing his name illegally to it or engaging in any other kind of political graffiti, vandalism or delinquency. He would never intentionally damage government property. Whether we are talking about the White House, the Reflecting Pool or the Kennedy Center, Davey would never try to alter, bulldoze or redesign federal property or buildings without explicit Congressional authorization and direction. Davey is an honorable and law-abiding citizen who has won real giant prizes, including eight world championships. He did so without any corrupt practices and only through his magnificent hard work and surpassing dedication to the team. He would never try to undercut or sabotage anyone, much less our entire community"
Trump is trying to resurrect a rejected century old plan to erect something towering in his own image, a 250 foot arch, right at the gateway to Arlington National Cemetery.
He claims Congress authorized it a century ago. That claim falls apart the moment you check the record.
What Congress actually approved in 1925 was a bridge and two 166 foot columns. Not an arch.
The columns were never built. President Hoover scratched them from the plans in 1931 after the Commerce Department warned they could endanger aircraft. That is the “vision” Trump is citing. A design that was rejected almost 95 years ago.
Arlington is sacred ground, and no president should be allowed to wall it off with a monument to himself that Congress never approved.

@WhiteHouse Creepy bunch of 5 year olds run this account and as crazy as it is, our taxes are paying them. Looking forward to the day when sane people are in charge again.
Jared Kushner & Trump's sons have raised $13 billion from foreign governments, mostly in the Middle East.
At the same time, Kushner serves as Special Envoy to the region, negotiating with the very countries with which he's financially conflicted.
