So what was ODonnells good news last night

which made him cut his vacation short, and that he promised would make us happy?

I fell asleep before the big reveal, and now can’t find any follow-ups.

Surely it wasn’t something that Trump had said, because his ongoing verbal diarrhea isn’t worth five seconds of on air time.

how much money it raised for buying desks for schoolchildren in Malawi.

I don't think he meant for people to think it was some breaking Trump/Russia news.

desk charity. What a total waste of stirring people up for something that could have waited until he returned. I am so fed up with teasing tweets that imply more then they actually produce. Until reputable news outlets publish stories or make videos available on line I am done with jumping through the hoops.

It’s a wonderful project that furnishes school desks to kids in Malawi. I will always welcome goodness in this world - especially now.

“But but but who is buying the pencils!1!1!”

Fucking ridiculous responses in this thread. Sorry you got sucked in angry desk hating folks. You would think by now some of you might have better spidey sense. We’re a year in.

Great news, LO! And NO one here is trying to say that your tweet was offering promises of any Mueller news, therefore increasing viewership numbers for your show, because MSNBC would never stoop to that!

Does everything on the news have to be about Trump? Can't there be some news that isn't about politics?

O'Donnell's charity has done amazing work. They deserve praise. If he teased viewers that there was news, why would anyone project what that might be?

'Tis the season of peace. I don't mind hearing some positive news for a change.

Happy New Year, DUers.
