“Their despicable comments just make my blood boil with anger,” said the New York senator, a Democrat, in reference to Republican colleagues whose arguments opposing the bill were transphobic and, in Schumer’s words, “just mean.” The House ultimately passed the Equality Act, which aims to provide expanded protections to LGBTQ people and prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, by a 224-206 vote on Thursday. Three Republican lawmakers—John Katko and Tom Reed of New York, and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania—voted alongside all 221 House Democrats in support of the bill’s passage....

‘Pogba just an ordinary kid who loved Utd’ The midfielder was forced to train with the club’s reserves at the start of the season but later returned to first-team training.

And Mourinho has indicated the former Germany international, who was left out of United’s squad for the Europa League group stages, is in line to play a part in the remainder of their European campaign....

Rohit probably has the best horoscope amongst all the captains in the fray in the IPL. He has as many as six celestial bodies in exaltation – the Sun, Moon, Venus, Uranus, Planet-X (2007 RH283) and Planet-Z (2008 FC76). This is probably as good as MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir’s who have both won a couple of IPL crowns each. The biggest hurdle for the 30-year-old this time is the fact that he has already led Mumbai Indians to two IPL wins in 2013 and 2015....

First and foremost, advocates of marijuana legalization routinely deny that the drug acts as a “gateway” to more dangerous substances. While it’s true most people who use marijuana don’t go on to use other drugs, the vast majority of those who have tried heroin or cocaine, or prescription drugs used marijuana first. Yes, they also “drank milk first,” as some sarcastically exclaim, but there is no mechanism connecting milk and drug use....

Dixon’s win cements him as the championship favorite, as he now leads reigning champion Josef Newgarden of Team Penske by 62 points in the standings with just five races, including a double-points race, remaining in 2018. The race was a carnage-filled event, as several of the primary championship contenders were involved in multiple accidents. Alexander Rossi’s #27 Andretti Autosport Honda even got airborne in an accident, but he still managed to finish in eighth place with everything else that went on throughout the event....

What have we learned? “Not much,” said an Eastern Conference scouting director, laughing. “He’s not ready for the NBA, that is for sure.

“When you uncover this fossil and realize there were these giant, elephant-like creatures roaming around what was probably once a grassland in Florida, it gives you a sense of wonder for what it was like back in ancient times,” Demeter, the director of Seminole State College’s Emil Buehler Perpetual Trust Planetarium, said. “It’s kind of like our way of time traveling. It makes your imagination go wild.” The pair had originally intended to head to Venice to search for shark teeth that day, April 25, but strong winds deterred them, Sadler told NBC2....

Even before Pirates of the Caribbean arrived in Sea of Thieves, the bombastic pirate adventure game was known for its own variety of original quests, creatures, and treasure chests. One of these is known among players as the Chest of Sorrows. The Chest is somewhat rare and unique, spawning randomly on islands and underwater. It can also spawn randomly as part of any voyage. As its name suggests, at random intervals, the chest emits deep, soft sobbing noises and begins “crying” - that is, it begins spewing water from the eyes of its face and from under its lid....

Sea of Thieves is already known for being a bombastic pirate game, meshing well with the hilarious antics of Captain Jack Sparrow himself. What makes the Season 3 update even cooler is that Jack Sparrow is a fully functioning crewmate.

ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter said Monday that the 27-year-old is “still considering retirement.” The safety also passed along the message to ESPN’s Josina Anderson regarding his current thoughts. Anderson also added, however, that people close to Thomas said Sunday night that Thomas “just needs time” to think about his future. All of this retirement talk was put in place after Thomas sent a tweet during the game, shortly after his injury, that he was thinking about quitting....
