I teamed up with @Refinery29 to mark #InternationalWomensDay and to talk about my passionate commitment to empowering girls around the world through education. This will continue to be a core part of my work at the @ObamaFoundation. https://t.co/rczguiLYWP

The Obama Diary 
Yay for ALL women!
Congrats to you, to NW, and to all women!
Everyone have a good day.
Congrats, OG!
In honor of Women’s Day, every question should be about Stormy Daniels.
Poor Sarah Boo-Boo Hucklebee-Sanders made papa bear mad. Got caught up in all her lies it bit papa bear.
Futile question. Of course, he did. Like Ben Carlson spent $31k on a dining set for his office.
And where is the outrage from Conservatives who made a huge fuss about the money spent on President Obama’s well deserved vacations? The hypocrisy is astonishing.
Thanks for the New Post, NW.
Congrats, ObamaGrandmama on your Au ⭐
Karma could not fall on anyone so hard or fast as this guy…….remember the guy who bought the meds for diabetics then raised the cost 5000 fold.
In a letter to the court late Wednesday, defense lawyer Ben Brafman also argued that Shkreli can’t afford to pay an additional fine for his crimes on top of the $7.4 million in restitution the judge previously ordered. Shkreli isn’t evil and deserves a sentence of just a year behind bars, he said, adding that anything longer might be “too late for treatment” once he’s released. He didn’t say what type of treatment.
Happy International Women’s Day!
Without even reading further than the tweet, this jerk sounds a lot like Herr Trump.
Ruuusher, if you are listening….can you hand over HH’s emails to Mueller? You will be rewarded mightily.
Yup …
This is a big story
😀 😀
WOW…thanks for posting this
So the big news is that Trump is going to meet with North Korea leader. Maybe they will meet in North Korea and they will keep Trump..
Next Trump will meet Syria leader.
And watch the media try to erase all of Trump B.S. and try to turn him into some great president.
Hiya TODers.
So here’s my take on North Korea wanting to meet Dotard Trumpee.
Mueller’s heat is getting hotter.
The saber rattling prior to now – and the back and forth name callibg by NK and Dotard was all a show – manipulated by Russia.
My hunch is that – Russia has a hand in all this. Keeping Putin’s Puppet propped up as US president is advantage Russia!
Why aren’t the diplomats from both countries meting? Then maybe Rex Tillerson and North Korea S.O.S. I don’t trust Trump or Kim Jong Un
I bet you a million dollars it never happens. WH occupant will make up some BS reason he can’t go. Some other shiny object will take his attention away. NK is calling his bluff.
Awww!
So Putin told Trump he better accept Kim jong un invite.
Let’s get the attention off of Porn star, Robert Mueller investigation, and WH swing door.
WOW!!
Loving this idea. I always thought PBO would be a fantastic TV host.
Yay!!!
ALRIGHT!!
I bet Netflix looked at their numbers with Letterman and PBO and said, WOWIE. I know I’ve watched it half a dozen times, each time learning something new. LET’S DO THIS!!
Yep! Me too! Can’t enough!
Great guy.
I love this guy. Evening TOD !!
This is so cool!
Under terms of a proposed deal, which is not yet final, Netflix would pay Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, for exclusive content that would be available only on the streaming service, which has nearly 118 million subscribers around the world. The number of episodes and the formats for the shows have not been decided.
Mr. Obama does not intend to use his Netflix shows to directly respond to President Trump or conservative critics, according to people familiar with discussions about the programming. They said the Obamas had talked about producing shows that highlight inspirational stories.
“President and Mrs. Obama have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire,” Eric Schultz, a senior adviser to the former president, said Thursday. “Throughout their lives, they have lifted up stories of people whose efforts to make a difference are quietly changing the world for the better. As they consider their future personal plans, they continue to explore new ways to help others tell and share their stories.”
HA!….
Be sure to watch Rachel on Monday when the authors of Russian Roulette will discuss the Putin gift to Trump in a black box, Rachel was on fire tonight, anonymous letters, secret tapes, double ankle bracelets and thats not all she said…geez i need to take notes to keep up
the question begs…why doesn’t the GOP demand that Trump do what is needed to protect our country….could it be because they know that with Russia’s help they can hold onto power..and that is more important to them.
GOP in Congress is #1PartyRule, First. They are in severe dereliction of duty. They don’t care. They have used the Propaganda schemes via #RightWingMedia…..40%+ dominance to misinform, distort, lie and then convenience enough segment of the US population. This cruel, crude tactics was in the open. 57% of the #CorpMedia treat their behavior as political instead of as what it is, the decimation of the US system of governance, politicking and political discourse.
Hence, the Decline and Fall of the Press, US System of Govt and the normalization of utter wickedness and cruelty in the public space.
cruelty in public space….ICE….and the Police….
Looks like Manafort’s ankles are going to compete w/ Mr. T’s chains. 😂😂
Morning everyone. It’s Friday and rump thinks he did something special….
Important thread:
Zacklee
They know they can play Trump’s ego like a fiddle, and they’re taking advantage.
No other President has fallen for the bait…until now.
Because rules mean nothing to them
i believe that this is all on the GOP Congress…who is doing NO oversight on Trump…and the more that TRump gets away with …the more he gets away with
I believe every day that the entire GOP has been compromised by the Russians. They have all taken Russian money in some way or another.
you maybe right…who knows how many Republicans have been compromised….maybe that is the reason why so many are retiring
UGH, the morons.
Rev, Barber tweets…White privilege….When President Obama suggested he would meet with the North Koreans the Republicans beat him up, Trump throws out a idea to meet after a year of taunts and he’s consider a great strategist.
PROGRESS
She talking tough because she is “termed out” and can’t run for the state senate. I hope they remember her name and if she is so bold as to try to run statewide for another position this video follows her to eternity.
Can’t the relevant agencies counter Russian hacking without the President’s authorization, if your house is on fire are you going to wait until the fire Chief comes to tell you start throwing water? I would think that those who can prevent or counter the hacking etc would do so and not wait for the Cuckold in Chief who wont do anything anyways.
In Canada. Congratulations…vc, tell us if you see one:)

Anthony Borges is back in the intensive care unit and listed in critical condition. He underwent another surgery yesterday for an intestinal infection and is scheduled for another one today. PLEASE keep this brave young man in your thoughts and prayers. And MARCH for life on March 24.
I was just wondering about him & his progress – yesterday. Thank you for the update, meta, although this is awful news.
Yes, he is really struggling. It’s a miracle he survived but he is tough, that’s for sure. I know we are all pulling for him. Just absolutely heartbreaking.
It is heartbreaking. He is an amazing young man & I will continue to keep hoping for his recovery. I think about the loved ones of these young ones that have been killed and the horror they wake up with each day and wonder how folks can still fight for their guns. I will never get it.
Yes, lets send lots of light, energy, prayers to this young man. I am praying that he recovers.
What an amazing young man. What a real hero.
North Star. For now
I can’t think of a response that doesn’t have curse words in it so…
I hate Chris, he is such a dick. Sanctimonious jerks like him think highly of themselves and it will always bring them down and I look forward to that day. He is so dismissive of women and people who are confident with facts.
This comment belongs below under Chris Cuomo’s tweet talking to Stormy’s attorney.
Good West Coast morning Nerdy & TOD family.
Serena wins! At Indian Wells on International Women’s Day 💃🏾
GM all.
After all that Carrying-on this week of course his ass was going to show up.
Can you even imagine being on that Grand Jury? OMG
I know I shouldn’t be smiling…
When President Obama talked about meeting without preconditions with leaders of Cuba, North Korea and Iran, folks came unglued including members of his own party. But when Trump agrees, it’s alright. See how whiteness works?https://t.co/wLv7gulIGA
