WASHINGTON (TND) — Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., known for his
casual attire, teased plans to wear a suit on the Senate floor on
social media Wednesday.

”If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government
down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by
wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week,” the lawmaker
wrote
on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)

An optimistic and upbeat President John F. Kennedy suggested
that the
Soviet Union and the United States cooperate on a
mission to mount an expedition to the moon. The proposal
caught both the Soviets and many Americans off guard.

In 1961, shortly after his election as president, John F. Kennedy announced that he was determined to win the “space race” with
the Soviets.

IT WAS TRY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT IN THE 1950s

from the store clerk, shown on the left. 

Mindful of the limited disposable income of the 1950s teenager,
many record companies started to produce singles, small records
with a popular hit song recorded on one side, the A side, and a
lesser known song by the same artist on the B side.

Most 1950s record stores offered an area with turntables to allow
their customers to listen to a single before they purchased it.
