"It certainly doesn't bother me or the people I know close to John,” ex-McCain aide John Weaver said. "I don't think it bothers John one bit. If we heard something today or tomorrow from Trump, we know it'd mean less than a degree from Trump University." washingtonpost.com/politics/…

I loved Aretha Franklin and, like everyone, will miss her. What an amazing talent and such a wonderful person. I was honored to meet her including at the @BET Honors in 2014 in DC. Thanks to Scott Davis for sharing this picture. May She Rest In Peace.

Mandela Day is about taking action to change the world for the better. In these young people, I see Madiba's example of persistence and hope. They are poised to make this world more peaceful, more prosperous, and more just.
