Obamacare was designed to fail, which is why we’ve been attempting to repeal and/or sabotage it for the better part of two decades now.

Mike Johnson: It's Obama's fault that we can't repeal Obamacare.

Jake Sherman: "JOHNSON this AM: 'Can we completely repeal and replace Obamacare? Many of us are skeptical about that now, because the roots are so deep, it was really sinister, the way it was created. I believe Obamacare was created to implode upon itself, to collapse upon itself.'”

Today, we as a country come together to celebrate everyone's favorite episode of The Sopranos.

Silvio is not happy about what's happening on Columbus Day.

Every Bari Weiss interview is: "As a Queer Jewish woman I felt like it was time to courageously speak up and say 'I think it's time we re-examine the virtue of the civil rights movement.'

And then everyone started booing, and I wept at how the level of discourse had degraded in this country."

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

Good Place:

Fun fact: Columbus is in the Bad Place
because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide.

A miracle they’re still alive. Elated for their families. Can’t help but think of all the hostages who would have also come home two years ago had Netanyahu chosen his own people over his thirst for war.

Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages.

The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.

Live updates: Israel says Hamas hands over first 7 hostages to Red Cross as part of Gaza ceasefire

The key exchange follows a breakthrough ceasefire after two years of war. U.S. President Donald Trump was also arriving in the region along with other leaders to discuss the U.S.-proposed deal and postwar plans.

Friendly reminder that Christopher Columbus didn’t discover anything, he just got lost and then enslaved and murdered a bunch of people before taking their land, so now you can’t go to the bank today.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

I shut it off and put on a Ballers rerun on HBO while making breakfast. I feel like Elizabeth Warren would approve

Sigh. Can't Raw start earlier or something so I can turn this off. Even with the mute button on it's excruciating

What a fucking crock. Two warmongers palling around after they prolonged the Gaza conflict unnecessarily.

Israel has awarded Donald Trump the country’s highest honor — the Presidential Medal of Honor, per office of Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Netanyahu also presented Trump with a golden dove of peace.

Here's Diane Keaton at Warren Beatty's AFI tribute, talking about a perfect (no exaggeration) scene in Reds--taking the mystique out of filmmaking and then putting it right back in, in just two minutes. She was exquisite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_RS...
