Trump Administration Live Updates: House Passes Bill to End Shutdown

Well done Democrats. Six weeks of turmoil and what did it get you? A couple of vague promises that Trump, Johnson et al will never honor. Election results that signify real hope one week, and then you piss it all away the next. This is how Trump won last year, and you didn’t learn shit. Spineless.

If Obama were POTUS and was planning to go to a football game while the Govt was shut down, thousands of flights were cancelled, people were going without food and workers were unpaid, Trump would call him a disgrace. And Trump would be right.

And so it begins…

Freddie Mercury came to the UK as a kid because people that looked like him were being killed back home in Zanzibar.

In the UK, he formed Queen.

In the UK, he became a global icon.

📍 Liverpool, where Freddie Mercury met Brian May

Hey @dailymail.co.uk we fixed your newspapers for you 💋

Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail pays NO TAX in the UK.

The rest of us fund public services, he CHOSES not to. Yet we’re supposed to believe problems in the NHS are migrants’ fault? The utter cheek.

Ah yes, quite possibly. There’s nothing like prejudice to make a big deal out of something that isn’t a big deal.

That’s fascinating. I wonder how that got started. In Europe and everywhere else I’ve been around the world, everyone (even the Royals) uses fork in left and knife in right. I wonder who decided that that was vulgar and that it was more genteel to switch back and forth.

And another one - why in America (maybe it’s just in the Midwest?) do people cut food with their fork in their left hand and their knife in their right, but then put down the knife and transfer the fork to the right hand to eat the food. This has always puzzled me.

Suggestion - why is it that if you’re having dinner with a friend in the U.S. and you finish first the waiter will remove your plate, but in Europe they don’t remove empty/dirty plates until everyone at the table has finished.

As a Liverpool fan I’ve always admired him as a player, but no matter how good he is it doesn’t make up for his clear failings as a human being. Disgraceful behavior.

Our first visit to Puerto Vallarta we went on a whale cruise. There are parts of the bay where you can’t go within a quarter mile of them, but sometimes there are so many they just swim right past you. This was one of our first sightings, and remains one of the main reasons we’re moving there.

They are stunning. It’s also always fun posting fluke photos to HappyWhale.com and seeing where they’ve traveled to and from.

Love this ❤️ My wife and I are just about to move to MX and one of the things I’m looking forward to most is seeing humpbacks frolicking in the Bahia de Banderas from November to April.

Why the Federico Chiesa chant is making some Liverpool fans very uncomfortable However well-intentioned, the song used to serenade Liverpool's Italian international risks reopening old emotional wounds

Hmmmm. I was thinking this at the weekend. Somehow a #Liverpool song talking about #Juventus “crying in Turin” just seemed to cross a line, for me anyway. I know it’s not in any way a reference to 1985 but I made that connection pretty much the first time I heard it and now I can’t unhear it. #YNWA

I’ve never really doubted his quality, just his ability to avoid injury or recover quickly.

The response of the players, the club and the fans says everything about why I love this club, and also shows that YNWA is not just a slogan, it’s our DNA.

Probably my last opening day at TM’s. Wish you were here, @rstrye.bsky.social - up the Reds 👍👏

More successful than the England men’s team, and now demonstrably tougher too 👏

We appear to have avoided buying a genuine 🛎️🔚

14 penalties, 9 misses. As they took them I was yelling which way it way going and I was nearly always right.

The women’s game has improved dramatically over the last few years, but that was the worst series of spot kicks I’ve ever seen.

Well done #Lionesses, but 🫣

Yes, that’s what it’s titled, and you have to click and scroll to find out that the big revelation is that the teammate says “he’s going to try really hard”.

If that’s not clickbait then it’s burying the lede, possibly because the ‘lede’ wasn’t worth writing about in the first place.

Nice clickbait 👍

Yup, wearing the Wayfarers and the Raiders cap - LA Raiders, BTW! That tells you how long ago it was! 😂🤣
