Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.

Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.

At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy 💖

Candace Parker arrived for the Sky's game against the Mystics wearing the high school jersey of Chicago-native Ben Wilson.

In 1984, Wilson was considered to be the top hoops prospect in the country. He was tragically shot and killed one day before the start of his senior season.

It will never stop infuriating me that in American politics, “centrist” describes political opinions at the center of the Senate rather than at the center of public opinion.

Even worse, the very same people who use it this way endlessly complain that Washington is out of touch!

Think about it: @staceyabrams getting an election stolen from her might lead to a Democratic majority in the Senate and then her being Georgia’s governor in 2022. Won’t black women do it.

Hey @jasonwhitlock, I can understand some of these questions. As a parent who has lost a child in a similar way I’d like to talk about this.

There’s no one way to grieve.

Somebody gotta teach Joe Biden to play the dozens before the next debate.

My heart is broken over the loss of my dear friend, Gale Sayers.
Portraying Gale in Brian’s Song was a true honor and one of the nightlights of my career. He was an extraordinary human being with the the kindest heart.
My sincerest condolences to his family 💔#RIPGaleSayers
