WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — The Latest from Wimbledon (all times local): ___ 5:55 p.m. Top-ranked Iga Swiatek took her winning streak to 37 matches by beating Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 to reach the third round at Wimbledon. Swiatek won on No. 1 Court to make her winning run the longest since Martina Hingis also won 37 matches in a row in 1997. This victory, though, was far from easy for the Polish player — despite facing a player ranked 138th. Swiatek had to save two break points in the opening game of the third set, then secured the decisive breakthrough with a slice of luck. At 2-1, Swiatek earned a break point when her Dutch opponent deliberately let a shot fly past her at the net, thinking it would sail long. However, it landed inside the baseline, and Swiatek then hit a forehand winner on the next point to break for a 3-1 lead. Swiatek won her second French Open title this month but has never been past the fourth round at Wimbledon. ___ 3:40 … [Read more...] about Wimbledon updates | Iga Swiatek takes winning streak to 37

New: Whitmer Says Banning Abortion Could Have ‘Incredible Economic Impact’ In Michigan
6 Politics & Government Whitmer has been fighting to ensure that Michiganders have the right to get an abortion long before she took office in 2019. Michigan Advance , News Partner Posted Replies Michigan Advance June 15, 2022 Following a draft decision from the U.S. Supreme Court leaked last month that showed the right-wing-majority court’s intention to overturn Roe v. Wade , the 1973 landmark decision that enshrined the right to abortion in the U.S. Constitution, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she is among many Michiganders anxiously awaiting the final decision that could come any day. “It’s kind of a moment where we’re waiting. But also, we’re not just sitting, waiting. We’re doing a lot of work to prepare and to protect women’s reproductive rights in Michigan,” Whitmer told the Advance in a phone interview Tuesday. Even before the leaked opinion, Whitmer filed a lawsuit in April that would enshrine the … [Read more...] about New: Whitmer Says Banning Abortion Could Have ‘Incredible Economic Impact’ In Michigan
Republicans in Congress: Hearings? What Hearings?
The sixth and latest hearing from the House’s Jan. 6 Committee was, undoubtedly, its biggest blockbuster yet. But where one audience saw a Watergate-level historic event in former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony , another key audience likely saw... nothing. Amid the cable TV and social media frenzy that unfolded before, during, and after Hutchinson’s testimony, Republican members of Congress were largely silent. One reason why is hardly a secret: When it comes to Jan. 6, silence has always been the safest political option for the vast majority of Republicans. Another reason, though, has been less explored. GOP lawmakers have not really been paying close attention to the hearings, if they’ve been paying attention at all. Over the first two weeks of the select committee’s public hearings , The Daily Beast asked a dozen Republican congressmen and senators—staunch Trump critics, MAGA faithful, and those somewhere in between—if they had been watching any of … [Read more...] about Republicans in Congress: Hearings?

Why Is Chris Pratt Lying About His Religious Past?
In one of the most shocking rebrands of 2022—maybe second after “inclusive” M&M’s — Jurassic World actor and famous follower of Christ Chris Pratt walked back claims that he’s a “religious person” in a new cover story for Men’s Health after years of telling the public otherwise. Much of the magazine profile, published on Wednesday, focuses on Pratt’s maligned presence on Twitter, including his frequent title as “the worst Chris” out of all the Hollywood Chrises and accusations that his politics are, at the very least, Republican-adjacent . The Guardians of the Galaxy star points to a speech he made at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in 2018 as his Annoying, Evangelical White Man internet reputation began to take hold. “God is real,” he said, accepting the Generation Award. “God loves you. God wants the best for you. Believe that. I do.” In the four years since, Pratt has seemingly managed to grasp why certain viewers were put off by this televangelist stunt (and … [Read more...] about Why Is Chris Pratt Lying About His Religious Past?

President Joe Biden, who has said his son Beau Biden’s exposure to toxic fumes from the pits could have led to his death, announced the policy change Monday, saying in a statement he hopes to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. “We learned a horrible lesson after Vietnam, when the harmful effects of exposure to Agent Orange sometimes took years to manifest, and too many veterans were left unable to access the care they needed,” Biden said. “I refuse to repeat that mistake when it comes to the … [Read more...] about VA Adds Nine Rare Respiratory Cancers Linked To Burn Pit Exposure Of Illnesses Eligible For Disability Benefits
