Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Today is just a rest day, right?! 😉

(Seriously, how many more "rest days" until the Tour?)

Oh Giro, a million and more thanks for the beautiful story. It has been a lifeboat in stormy news waters and a reminder of the good and the beauty in the world; of the humanity, the kindness and the heart and soul that fills our lives with meaning. I am so, so grateful for ALL of it.

OMG!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! WHAT A TEAMMATE!!

What a beautiful story- warm, generous, kind souls that think bigger-that understand that if their own son was in a similar situation they would hope for the same- make the entire world a better place.

Thank you for sharing and for being the kind of human that wholly appreciated that kindness. 🫶

My family lost a beloved dog, Polo, to lymphoma as well so, Bode's story hits home. It is so hard to say goodbye to these souls that add so much love to our lives. I found and still find comfort in the fact that having Polo in our lives made us all better humans. Sending you an empathetic hug.

Has Pello Bilbao made every break on mountainous stages?
Chapeau to him because it does seem to me that every day he is up there.

I love it and I am 100% here for it. Vamos Pello!!!💖

What is so impressive about @lidltrek.bsky.social is not so much that they’ve won 6 (right?) stages this Giro but the beautiful TEAMWORK that led them to those wins.

Bravissimo Carlos Verona and the entire team. All season long they’ve put on this beautiful show.

Oh no, Cicco!!!😩

That was SUCH a beautiful finish. Mads Pedersen is a complete badass and it is so fun to watch.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid.

Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt.

Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Thanks for sharing. Do you have any more recommendations for reading/listening regarding the U.S. tariffs, credit downgrade, bond markets, etc.? Something an interested but bare minimum of understanding can comprehend?

SO right. 💖

This is amazing. 😍

It may be a rest day (which is usually a sad occasion) but I am still buzzing about the soul filling beauty of yesterday's Giro stage and the glory of Wout van Aert's stage win.

I also LOVE that all of my social media feeds are still filled with that joy. It is much appreciated right now.

ETSY SHOP UPDATE:
Oh my, today’s Giro stage was an absolute gift to the soul.

ALL the love for a winning, smiling Wout van Aert, for Mads Pedersen resplendent in Ciclamino and for every minute of this stage.

What a beautiful, beautiful sport this is.

SO nice.

All the love for a smiling and happy Wout and seeing him ride with strength and confidence again.

SAME, GIRL, SAME.💖

Those were the glory days for WVA and Alaphilippe. What a great race/stage that was. Thanks for the reminder.

Thank you for sharing and for writing that very informative post. I worry that these warnings aren’t being given much attention by most Americans- who aren’t yet feeling the crunch. Also, the administration is actively gaslighting and ignoring these warnings. It’s daunting.

Thank you for that information. These are very concerning warning signs.

Do you know of any updates on conditions at the LA ports?

Zero ships from China are bound for California’s top ports. Officials haven’t seen that since the pandemic | CNN Business On Friday morning, West Coast port officials told CNN about a startling sight: Not a single cargo vessel had left China with goods for the two major West Coast ports in the past 12 hours.

I really, really, really hate the crashes.

Sadly, no Cycling Podcast grand tour cups this year. Stay tuned, though, I’m always inspired by these races.

All the chapeaus and hats off to @lidltrek.bsky.social for their inspiring teamwork and especially for super strong and cupworthy Mads Pedersen for that finish.

Wout almost got there which also deserves all the chapeaus and hats off.

Happy start of the Giro eve to all who celebrate.
