Summary On Friday, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to prevent a government shutdown at midnight. The move came despite President-elect Donald Trump’s demand to approve trillions of dollars in new debt alongside the bill. The legislation ensures that government operations will continue without interruption. The bill now heads to the Democratic-controlled Senate, where it must pass to guarantee funding beyond midnight (0500 GMT Saturday). The expiration of current funding would otherwise trigger a shutdown. Lawmakers in the Senate will need to act swiftly to avoid any disruption in government services. The White House confirmed that President Joe…

This is a really, really big deal,” Rosenberg,…

The Christmas party season has arrived, but that doesn’t mean you need to indulge in alcohol. A YouGov survey conducted earlier this year found that 44% of 18 to 24-year-olds occasionally or regularly choose low or non-alcoholic drinks, and 39% drink no alcohol at all. This shift in drinking habits has sparked a rise in demand for low-alcohol and alcohol-free beverages. As a result, many sparkling wine producers have stepped up their game, creating sophisticated alternatives that taste nearly identical to the real thing. With so many options now available, finding the perfect drink for your festive celebrations has never…

It was government shutdown season in Washington, and all through the House, many creatures were stirring — most notably Elon Musk. Lawmakers in Congress expected a smooth path to the holidays.
