Cliveden House burnt down in 1849. The architect behind Parliament rebuilt it in two years. Now, Parliament has spent over a decade just planning its own repairs. What happened to the country that built things? 👇

My dear friend @jonmchu, I am ECSTATIC that “Crazy Rich Asians” is coming back with more stories as a @hbomax series, BUT if my favorite movie character of all-time, Astrid aka Gemma Chan, isn’t returning in some capacity, I just can’t!

Rudy Giuliani: "I remember Sept. 11, 2001. But I heard her say she was there that day. I was there that day. I don’t remember seeing Hillary Clinton there.”
Image from Jamie Bonkiewicz (@JamieBonkiewicz)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Hillary Clinton never claimed she was in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001. She was in Washington, D.C., and traveled to NYC on Sept. 12, where she toured Ground Zero with Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani apologized in 2016 for making this false claim: snopes.com/news/2016/10/1… apnews.com/united-states-…
