This moment must’ve felt magical for Pulisic and the USMNT.
They’ve struggled for years to sellout matches. Many of their recent home games have skewed towards the away fans. Going from that to THIS?

Enjoy the view and have a great weekend!

Gulf Shores is proof that a great beach trip does not have to be complicated.
Warm water, uncrowded mornings, local seafood, and enough coastline to forget what day it is.
What’s better than a rare Super Delta formation featuring the Thunderbirds and the @USNavy Blue Angels over Washington, D.C.?
Watching it from four different views for #UFCWhiteHouse as part of #Freedom250. 🇺🇸
On 14 June 1777, the flag of the United States was adopted through resolution by Congress. June 14 also marks the establishment of the Continental Army in 1775 when the Continental Congress authorized the enlistment of “expert riflemen” in defense of freedom. 🇺🇸

Quand un chef écossais conduit son clan en centre-ville (ici, le clan Innes), pour perpétuer la tradition de manière festive, c'est vraiment impressionnant !

Perhaps Golden Tempo and his team are exactly what this moment calls for.
He arrived on that first Saturday in May as an afterthought—one of twenty horses, easy to overlook, easy to forget. But neither he nor jockey José Ortiz had any intention of being forgotten. Together, they produced something remarkable in the final stretch, sweeping past rival after rival until only the finish line and a blanket of roses remained.
In the grandstand, trainer Cherie DeVaux erupted with emotion—celebrating every step, every surge, every moment like a true believer. That day, she made history as only the second woman to train a Triple Crown winner, and the first to do so at Churchill Downs.
Back in the barn, groom José Hernandez, the quiet Guatemalan-born horseman behind Golden Tempo’s daily care, was overcome with tears. His steady hands and unwavering devotion helped shape a horse filled with calm confidence—the kind that comes only from being truly cared for, day after day, without recognition or spotlight.
DeVaux later made a bold decision. She bypassed the Preakness, choosing patience over pressure, and set her sights on the Belmont instead. Critics questioned it. She didn’t flinch. When the horse comes first, outside noise fades quickly.
Last Saturday at Saratoga, a summer storm left the track heavy and the air tense. When the gates opened, Golden Tempo broke last. For most of the race, he trailed the field, buried at the back while others fought ahead.
Then José Ortiz made his move—wide, patient, deliberate—giving his mount space to breathe and build momentum. Step by step, they began to rise through the field. By the final turn, they were flying. In the last moments, the race belonged entirely to them.
Another last-to-first masterpiece. Another statement of greatness.
Afterward, DeVaux celebrated with unfiltered joy. Hernandez wept again. And Ortiz simply said what defines it all: “He does what I ask him to do.”
Five words that carry a lifetime of trust—between trainer, groom, jockey, and horse.
This is a team without ego, guided only by what is best for the horse at the center of it all. And Golden Tempo responds in the only language he knows—by fighting, by refusing to quit, by finding another gear when there shouldn’t be one left.
In his stall, they say he is gentle as a summer evening—calm, affectionate, and welcoming. That peace is no accident; it is the reflection of the world built around him.
In 1973, Secretariat gave the sport a reason to believe. In 2026, perhaps Golden Tempo is doing it again.
The fit feels undeniable. 🐎

❤️ A special moment at the White House last night as @POTUS hosted the hardworking men who renovated the Reflecting Pool in the Oval Office.
Each worker received a signed hat and a Presidential Challenge Coin as a thank-you for their incredible work.

Yes, it’s breathtaking and well worth the time and effort to experience this trip through the Swiss Alps and into Italy. We traveled this train in April 2024! Fond memories 🩵🤍
One of the most breathtaking train rides in the world.
The Bernina Express travels from Chur, Switzerland to Tirano, Italy on the Rhaetian Railway. It crosses 196 bridges and 55 tunnels, climbs over the Bernina Pass, and then descends into Italy
