The soap opera has long offered escape to millions of Americans, and this tradition lives on in John Oliver's recent appearance on General Hospital.

The Glorious Spectacle of John Oliver on 'General Hospital'

The comedian, a soap fan, got the "juicy" role he always wanted, and TV viewers got a pop culture crossover for the ages.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Americans deserve better.

Graphic of Donald Trump sitting and reading a piece of paper. Text block above his head that reads: The government is shut down. Trump and Republicans are:

—Demolishing part of the white house to make room for a $200M golden ballroom
—Trying to send Argentina a $40 BILLION bailout
—Refusing to swear in rep-elect Adelita Grijalva
—Buying Kristi Noem 2 luxury private jets
—Considering commuting Diddy's sentence

Unmarried and pregnant? Sorry, no healthcare for you… A woman in Tennessee was denied prenatal care for being unmarried—the first reported case of its kind under the state’s new “conscience” law. Jennifer Weiss-Wolf explains how attacks on bodily autonomy are becoming a legislative norm.

Senate Republicans voted AGAINST an amendment to Trump’s budget that would have saved over 300 rural hospitals at risk of closure or cut services. They don’t give a damn about their constituents.
