How about them @Braves? I’m on top of the world. As someone who had a front row seat to the World Series win in 1995, I understand the sheer talent & determination required. What a legacy for ATL & the franchise. My pal @HenryLouisAaron is smiling down.

Those three little letters have made a big impact on the world! June 1st will always hold a special place in my heart. #CNN.
42 years ago today, @CNN made its debut as the first 24-hour news channel. Much has changed over 4 decades, but one thing remains largely as it was on June 1, 1980 - those 3, unmistakable red & white letters. Thank u @TedTurnerIII for changing the way the world is informed. #CNN

As a boy I dreamed of bison, wolves & other native species returning to the prairies. Knowing guests at Ted Turner Reserves can experience a safari is truly a dream come true. This segment captures our appreciation for the transformative power of nature.

When speaking about the future and well-being of our planet, one of my favorite go-to catchphrases is ‘Save Everything.’ From the mighty bison to the prairie dog to the endangered gray wolf and smallest bumblebee. Everything on this Earth has worth and everything is worth saving.

This is outstanding news for a state so near and dear to me - a place where I own half my land. Congratulations to New Mexico and its great leader, @GovMLG, on passing this groundbreaking law. A big win for this beautiful state and a HUGE win for the environment!”.
It's official. New Mexico's energy framework will never be the same – the Energy Transition Act is now law. The potential for New Mexico to be a national leader in renewable energy has always been there. Starting now, we are leading.

#ThrowbackThursday 5 years ago a plaza at the TBS Techwood campus was dedicated to me. It was this Midtown location where my vision for a 24-hour news network launched & became the stuff of dreams. A mural by @JEKS_NC also came to life -- a tribute I will always cherish.
Media mogul. Maverick. Forever on the mansion wall. Ted turner’s bold vision continues to inspire us all. This mural was commissioned on the campus @TedTurnerIII purchased 40 years ago where he built and shaped the modern media landscape 📺🐃
