Vamos, @RafaelNadal!

As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.

Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.

I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.

And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more. 

OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.

We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.

I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.

I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.

And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.

Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.

Rafa that!

Best always, your fan, 

Roger

BREAKING: Veteran Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth obliterates Donald Trump's Defense Secretary nominee for his sexist claim that women shouldn't serve in combat roles.

This is just too good...

"I would ask him: Where do you think I lost my legs? In a bar fight?" Duckworth said during an appearance on CNN. "I'm pretty sure I was in combat when that happened."

An Iraq war veteran and a Purple Heart recipient, she lost both of her legs when her helicopter was hit with a grenade.

"He's shown his absolute lack of experience and his lack of suitability for the job because anybody that truly knows the military knows that we cannot got to war with out over 225,000 women who are serving in active-duty right now," Duckworth said.

"Our military cannot go to war without our female service members," she added. "This is not the Revolutionary War where there's some sort of line in the sand and you know combat is on one side and the rest of us can stay behind this line and that's not combat."

"Look, he’s not qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense, and obviously, he’s made these comments about how he doesn’t think women should be in combat and that he wants to be able to fire the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff," Duckworth said.
"I ask him, how does that strengthen our nation’s military?”

The truth is that Trump and Hegseth don't care about making America safer. They care about scoring cheap culture war points with the MAGA base by going after women. Their attack on brave service members is an utter disgrace.

@RealBenCarson Instead of worrying about Trump and what Trump has to say, some are focusing on what Biden has to say… lol… how ironic.

Michigan undecided voter: When it comes to a strong leader and what we're looking for in a leader, I'm looking for somebody that I trust to be able to uphold policies that will protect me. I got a lot more of that from President Biden, considering he talked about what he's done and what he plans to do. Whereas on the other side from Trump, I never heard what he did or what he plans to do

I spent the day in Lake Arrowhead, talking to friends and family of Laura Ann Carleton, whom they all called Lauri.

She was a fierce advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and had had several run ins with people who wanted her to take her Pride flag down.

My son is 15

I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby.

I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.

When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month.

He was raised Catholic, and went to church.

Guess what? He is gay.

The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way.

If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.

They haven’t failed, you have.
