Vice President Harris made an excellent decision in Gov. Walz as her running mate. Together, they will govern effectively, inclusively, and boldly for the American people. They won’t back down under tight odds, either - from healthcare to school lunch. Let’s do this 💪🏽
BREAKING: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will be the Democratic VP candidate, alongside Kamala Harris. Walz forged a reputation as a Governor who makes good policy happen. Last year he signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all Minnesota students. And that's not all 🧵

I’ve spent four years researching mental health in elite women’s football… to see these conversations finally cut through is refreshing. The next step is getting the support right. The players want and need it.
Domestic women's football is on the rise in England - but is enough being done to protect the mental health of WSL players? Been working on this for a while with @AdamGMillington ✍🏻👇🏻 Please share & encourage conversation. Thanks! #bbcfootball
