Happy Memorial Day weekend, which is also President John F. Kennedy’s Centennial weekend.

Kennedy was born 100 years ago Monday. To celebrate, the United States Postal Service released a commemorative “forever” stamp to honor the late president.

The stamp is a Ted Spiegel photo of Kennedy campaigning in Seattle for president in 1960. To accompany the stamp is another famous photograph of the late president in a reflective pose, which Aaron Shikler painted in 1970 and is now part of the White House Historical Association.

Condom handout in D.C.

Did someone offer you a condom on your way to work yesterday? In D.C. and New York, the Keep Birth Control Co-Pay Free campaign passed out the condoms to people they assumed were Capitol Hill staffers getting off at Capitol South and Union Station. Distributions also took place by the White House, the Health and Human Services building, Farragut Square, as well as New York’s Trump Tower and Washington Square Park. 

Spotted

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was spotted in the basement of the Capitol on Thursday. She was sitting at a table with three men in the House side carryout and they were discussing politics. Overheard was a mention of the continuing resolution and Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii.

Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., was reportedly spotted trying to hide the fact that he wasn’t wearing a tie during the final House vote on Thursday. He was crouched over and covering his neck with his hand.

Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., got down with some acoustic country at the Country Music Awards’ Songwriters Series at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday night.

Lewis commencement address

Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., will deliver the commencement address to the Class of 2017 at Bard College in New York on Saturday. He will receive an honorary doctorate of civil law.

Staffer shuffle

Carolyn Fiddler will join Daily Kos as its new political editor and senior communications adviser. She was previously national communications director at the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.
