Thanks, NW for a Brand New Post.
NCLB and Judith, both clocking in at 4:05pm……Way to go! Congrats on your twin Au ⭐ ⭐ Furst 😉
And another Ag ⭐ for NCLB 😉
Has the Trump presidency got you feeling down? Are you yearning for the time there was a much cooler, slightly less war-mongery guy in charge? Good news! Barack Obama is back baby, and he’s coming to Sydney!
… “President Obama’s presidency had an extraordinary impact on the world and during his service both Australia’s and New Zealand’s deep relationships with the United States were strengthened politically, culturally, in trade and investment, innovation and security,” New Zealand United States Council chairman Leon Grice said in a statement to The Sydney Morning Herald. …
Can’t get to Sydney to see my President, but just learned my 2 daughters just got me a ticket to see my Forever First Lady at the Oakland Oracle Arena on March 28th as an early Mother’s Day present! So excited.
Been lurking on and off as time allows and miss you all. Congrats to Judith and NCLB on first. And forever thanks to Nerdy for keeping the home fires burning at TOD. Hugs everyone!
Chicago, we’re holding a public meeting tomorrow to discuss the building and design of the Obama Presidential Center. Your thoughts and ideas are central to this process. Hope to see you there: https://t.co/uOSQJj9tX2
ICYMI, can you retweet or forward to White House Senior Advisor Ivanka Trump? She can't handle questions from a Member of Congress, so she blocked me. https://t.co/FkoDpZqOBN
-Cohen paid $130k to silence Stormy Daniels. Was there coordination with Trump campaign? -National Enquirer paid $150k to silence Karen McDougal. Was there coordination with Trump campaign?
Hey, @CaseyCagle, were the responses to this what you had in mind when you were dumb enough to publicly blurt out that you intended to abuse the power of your office to punish a private company? One of the largest employers in your state?
Sir David Adjaye, the architect of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, is the 2018 recipient of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Medal in Architecture. https://t.co/zcbDUZ4kCn via @uva
i am glad that heis work is being awarded and respected….but with “Thomas Jefferson” anything i am reminded that he owned black people …and he did not respect or honor Black People…
This arming teachers "debate" illustrates a structural weakness of the mainstream media that has dogged them for the entire Trump presidency, that because he is president, what he "proposes" must be taken seriously, but some things should simply be mocked, dismissed, shitcanned.

Trump's description of school shooters is ridiculous — there aren't repeat shooters — but it's a good description of how Trump and his circle operates. No one punishes them so they commit the same crimes again and again. https://t.co/AQDp4GDLBR
1) Stop calling the Midwest "Trump Country". He has lost support in every state and has majority disapproval here now.
2) There have been so many articles on how Trump voters haven't changed their minds, but this survey shows that's not the case. https://t.co/CgDtVV3hmI
“Trump told Stern about an old man falling [at Mar-a-Lago].
‘I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away,” Trump said. “I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor.’” https://t.co/Rma3RAnXgU
Regarding Donald Trump's recent declamation of his own heroic resolve, Hunter (a contributor to @dailykos) summarizes the myriad problems therewith better than I ever could, so I'm just going to quote him: pic.twitter.com/pDWMGcuTeV
.@KamalaHarris to lead this year's march over the bridge in Selma, which was something Obama and Clinton did in 2007 as their presidential campaigns got underway
Conversation with a high school senior today. Me: what have you been up to? Him: our senior class registered to vote on Friday Me: the entire class? Him: Yes. Someone has to step up to stop Trump, you haven't been able to do it. No offense.
Is there ANYONE, including the jackass that did these, that didn’t know this was the intent to begin with? Oh, yeah…those dumb ass MAGA people. Dig the hole deeper….
U.S. companies are using their tax cut savings to buy their own company shares. Nearly 100 American corporations have announced such plans in the past month—totaling more than $178,000,000,000 in planned buybacks. https://t.co/hVH8eO9PyQ

By the way, where is Sen. Mitch McConnell? Why hasn’t he had to answer serious questions about his response to President Obama’s 2016 plea for a bipartisan stand against Russian election interference? https://t.co/Ju0amDgAkq
Whoever did the work to archive the entire Obama White House website is a genius because not only is it an archive of thoroughly brilliant work and policy but it will be necessary to use it as a road map to get back to our humanity and decency. @goldman
Right? When I go through President Obama's WH archive, I'm struck with just how thorough, how deeply researched, how much true innovation for the greater good went into every decision, policy and action. He was broadly deliberative with an A+ staff. And the brilliance shines.
Even though we on the diary do not need reminders of the brilliance of Pres Obama…still i am ever grateful for the reminder nonetheless….it reminds us that we have the power…YES WE CAN! We are ONEs that We Have Been Waiting For!
That was one of the incredible achievements of President Obama's entire term: the recognition of digital as a force + an office and a very impressive team of dedicated people working on innovation throughout govt. It was astonishing to witness and we are truly grateful!
Here you go. Just pages pages and pages of important and brilliant innovative stuff. And since the con man is deleting rules/regs and ruining democracy at such a fast clip, my point is that this archive can serve to remind us how to get back on track in all arenas.
Details of his MIT Sloan talk are slipping out……I love this quote.
Obama says Google, Facebook, Twitter "have to have a conversation about their business model that recognizes they are a public good as well as a commercial enterprise. They're not just an invisible platform, they're shaping our culture in powerful ways." https://t.co/KtqjmYQ0J7
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ son is running for Congress in New Hampshire.
Levi Sanders, 48, said in a statement first reported by WMUR and since posted on his campaign website that he is entering the open-seat race to replace retiring Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter.
…..
Unlike his father, who ran as an independent in Vermont, Sanders is running as a Democrat. He’ll be the eighth Democratic candidate to enter the race.
Rachel Maddow explains how the estranged wife of Federal Savings Bank chief Steve Calk could end up revealing details of the bank’s unusual loan of $16 million to Paul Manafort through a divorce court subpoena.
About time, meta. I drove to So Lake Tahoe last week to visit my granddaughter and there was practically no snow on the sides of the road, even at the summit. Last year at this time there were 10 ft high snow banks everywhere. The state is in dire need of water storage in the form of snow for this summer. Here’s hoping the storm door has opened and we will get lots of rain and snow in March and April.
Rachel Maddow highlights Donald Trump’s tendency to hire people he knows or is related to for White House jobs, and the conflict that creates, particularly in the case of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner who continue in senior White House roles despite being unable to to earn a full security clearance.
Ken Vogel, political reporter for The New York Times, talks with Rachel Maddow about breaking news that the first lady’s office has cut tie’s with Melania Trump’s friend’s newly created company after it was revealed that she was paid $26 million for unspecified inauguration planning services.
An incredible group of Obama national security alumni teamed up to counter President Trump’s reckless foreign policy & put forth a progressive vision of American global leadership.
PBO built an army of young, passionate, smart, hard-working, skilled and independent-thinking public servants. They have learned the lessons that he taught by example and word and are fanned out all over the country fighting for us and the world. This is another one of PBO’s enduring legacies.
Golden State Warriors will celebrate their championship in D.C. today by touring the African American Museum with students from Seat Pleasant, the hometown of Kevin Durant.
So, according to trump’s latest big “idea,” if a teacher refuses to carry a gun – such as this teacher might – he or she will also be referred for a psychiatric eval, but trump won’t?
Hey @FLOTUS you say that your mission as First Lady is to stop cyber bullying, well then, don’t you think it would have been smart to have a convo with your step-son @DonaldJTrumpJr before he liked a post about a false conspiracy theory which in turn put a target on my back
Hours before making its final public presentation of plans for the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park, the Obama Foundation announced it will donate more than $3.5 million to build a new artificial turf field at the South Side park.https://t.co/Mt995Kp5WJpic.twitter.com/l9ymI5kve8

Hello!
Wish we all lived in a fact-driven world instead of a profit and power-driven one.
Thank you, Nerdy.
Good afternoon TODVille.

GAHTDAMN
HAHAHAHA!
❤
That Mueller’s number is that low and Trump’s is that high is STILL a big problem. At least Mueller has the higher percentage, so it’s a start.
Just do it ….
i am glad that heis work is being awarded and respected….but with “Thomas Jefferson” anything i am reminded that he owned black people …and he did not respect or honor Black People…
Fabulousness! ❤
some things? no, all things the turd proposes must be shitcanned.
THEY ARE NOT PLAYING
NO MORE! I’m so glad these kids are getting out there w/ absolutely no fear for the fight ahead. Bless! ❤
That’s POTUS!!!!
what a 3rd rate coward. bringing bad name to cowards.
Thanks AMK for unearthing this video proof of the coward, currently in the White House, who pretends to be so macho by talking big.
Hero in his own mind. Coward in real life
wonder how the blue lives matter cops crowd now feel about the turd’s cowardly attack on one of its own.
Thank you to you all who gave me birthday greetings, I just went back on the last thread to say “thanks to each of you” ❤
Happy belated birthday, GGail – sorry I missed it and hope it was grand!
Now, I’ll say good nite. It’s back to work in the morning.
Zzzzzzzz 🙂
Oh, boy! The right of succession. Is he Prince Sanders?
I hope he is defeated!
He’s a bad chip off the old block:
Criticizes PBO and Sen. Kamala Harris
Defends NRA witch Dana Loesch and the Bundys
I hope people recognize a divisive Dem when they see one.
Goodnight TOD …
This is good news…though news that shouldn’t matter to anyone…or be considered “news” at all…but, here we are.

Banker’s divorce could expose role in Manafort Trump scandal

Hey, SoCal, are you feeling this cold front? It’s super cold up here in the north!
Yes, it’s in the low 40’s here and my heater never stopped running all night.
BRrrrrrrrrrr. We’re expecting up to 65″ of snow near Donner’s Pass.
About time, meta. I drove to So Lake Tahoe last week to visit my granddaughter and there was practically no snow on the sides of the road, even at the summit.

Heeeyyyy, cd4, nice to see you! Hope all is well. YES, hoping for more snow and rain as long as it doesn’t bring more disaster.
good read

He must of spilled some heavy duty beans 🙂 🙂
Great idea Golden State Warriors.
So, according to trump’s latest big “idea,” if a teacher refuses to carry a gun – such as this teacher might – he or she will also be referred for a psychiatric eval, but trump won’t?
Got it, crazy world.
Hillary warned us over a year ago that DJT would try to put guns in classrooms, and y’all didnt listen
Now we have Ivanka telling us we need to start having serious discussions about arming teachers.
