Wishing everyone in this great nation of immigrants and dreamers a happy Independence Day. There is so much to celebrate in our 250 years - and so much work left to do in our pursuit of a more perfect union. Here’s to the next 250.
We are deeply moved by former Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals running back Chris Johnson's decision to share his ALS diagnosis publicly. "ALS has changed what my body can do, but it hasn't changed who I am." His words are a powerful reminder that reflect the strength we see every day in the ALS community. Chris said he is choosing to fight and we are here to fight alongside him.
By speaking out, Chris is helping us raise the awareness and funding needed to find treatments and, one day, a cure. Thank you for choosing to fight — not just for yourself, but for the tens of thousands of Americans living with ALS today. We are honored to walk this road alongside you.

Karl-Anthony Towns to Jalen Brunson:
“The first day I got here and you welcomed me here to New York, I said I want to make sure I amplify you to a whole another level that you haven't even recognized for yourself. I want to be that partner in crime that you haven't had, and I want to make sure that every step of the way, anytime you go anywhere, you're never alone. You always have someone behind you that's ready to do whatever it is to protect you, to protect this city. And I only ask for one thing in return… (points to trophy).”

City vibes are hard to explain right now. There’s a guy smoking a cigar and holding a broom and everyone is shaking his hand as if he’s an essential worker during the pandemic.
AJ Brown on his decision to wear No. 1 instead of No. 11 with the #Patriots:
“Obviously Julian Edelman. He gave me grace to wear 11, but I got so much respect and so much love for him. I’m going to create my own legacy here."
Brown wore No. 1 during his college years.
