Anyone who has ever been to Alcatraz - and there's 1.5 million visitors a year of all political inclinations who take the ferry there - knows how insane Trump is with his latest idea. #madking

We are celebrating black history month at my daughter’s school. You can’t erase history with executive orders.

So now we have the answer to the trivia question: name one thing Trump did in his 2nd term that wasn't completely bonkers? (not that he actually has the legal authority to do this)

Opened my #fanduel account for first time in a long time and found a $1.50 balance. All I have to do is win one "sure" bet a day. If I can double up 20 times in a row, I'll be sitting on $1.5 million. Day 1 is in the books.

I took this photo 8 years ago today at a protest in DC that brought out about 20k people to protest Trump's Muslim ban (so, i was reminded on that other platform).

I took this photo 8 years ago during the guy's first inauguration. This is right after the cops pushed protestors about three blocks back with a volley of rubber bullets, flash bang grenades and pepper spray.

Our two weeks in Spain have been wonderful. But Air travel for this trip on Iberia Airlines has been …. less than stellar. Standing in a 2-hour customer service line because of a cancelled flight. Hoping to get on a flight in the morning.
