The GOP is pushing to ban abortion nationwide…
…while simultaneously proposing drastic cuts to food programs like WIC that help pregnant women, infants & children.
As my friend Barney Frank likes to say: clearly Republicans believe life begins at conception—and ends at birth.

If confirmed, Admiral Lisa Franchetti, who currently serves as the Navy’s second in command, would become the first woman to lead the @USNavy in its 247-year history. nytimes.com/2023/07/21/us/po…
We lost him too soon.
Born on this day in 1943, Arthur Ashe was the first Black man to win men’s singles at #Wimbledon , #USOpen, and #AustralianOpen.
He was a humanitarian and a pioneer.
His legacy continues.
I remember that moment. As a young girl, it was a big deal.
50 years ago, on June 21, 1973, nearly 60 women tennis players met at the Gloucester Hotel. We formed what today is known as the @WTA.
It was our moment of truth.
What we accomplished then created the foundation of women's sports today.

This US Signal Corps photo from WWII includes 24 of the 1st contingent of Black nurses assigned to the European Theater of Operations. In 1944, 63 Black nurses joined the 168th Station Hospital in England; others served in Australia, Liberia, Burma, New Guinea, & the Philippines.

To all of the people calling to defund PBS and NPR, here are some facts:
- NPR receives approximately 0.6% of their funding from federal grants. The vast majority of their funding comes from corporate sponsors, and donations.
- Fox News has saved millions of dollars through dodging US taxes by opening shell companies in the Cayman Islands and elsewhere.
- Tesla, SpaceX and Solar City all receive substantially more in government funding than NPR.

Thank you to Land Rover for sponsoring you!
I just want to take a moment to thank @LandRoverUSA for, once again, getting me (and my precious cargo😜) around Europe safely and reliably in my #RangeRover Sport this season.

Some little girl will look at this never knowing a life where 3 Black women on national tv speaking about women’s sports isn’t a possibility. And I love that.
This is what we mean when we say “Representation matters.” 🫶🏾#BlackGirlMagic
I agree - the tournament(s) are exciting and hard to find. Come on @espn you can do it!
