Coco Gauff: I know there's been conversations online about maybe the enthusiasm of some of the fans. I think tennis needs more of this. It's great just to see a nation so proud of someone, especially a nation that's pretty underrepresented in this sport. It's pretty cool to see.

It is essential to take the threat to women’s voting rights posed by the SAVE Act within the wider context of coercive and misogynistic views on the right.

We need to talk about the right’s new voter suppression target: Women
The SAVE Act would make it harder for married women in particular to vote, and that is just one part of the MAGA right's misogynist project.

Illinois was the first in the Midwest to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour.
For 1.4 million workers, it was their first raise in nearly a decade.
I promised as a candidate to build an economy that works for everyone — and that's been a priority of my administration.
