Damn, Mandhana’s dismissal was iffy, but dam take a bow Jemimah Rodrigues! What an absolute beastly inning that was!

You have to feel for Healy and the Aussie team though.

It’s always the same playbook: deny the means to live and then gaslight. It isn’t just one or the other— it’s both, actively and viciously.

I’m not sure what the right move would have been, or if there could have been a better play. I did hope Dem leadership would have better ideas.

Unfortunately, it seems they did not

The plus side is that they seem united right now (well, save Fetterman and Cortez Masto) but we’ll see for how long

The larger picture here is that the Trump admin has dismantled so much of the give illegally, and the hope was the the Dems could use a potential shutdown as a way to show force and to somehow get the Trump admin to walk back some of the dismantling

I don’t think the current fight gets us there

The reality is that the Indian-American bloc absolutely contributed to Trump becoming President (remember 'ab ki Baar Trump Sarkar'?). But, a lot of them are now attempting to rewrite that narrative.

I personally know several Indian-American Trump voters now either regret their decision or claim they didn’t vote for Trump. The reality is though that fewer Indian-Americans identified as Democrats in 2024 (down to 47% from 56% in 2020), while Trump's support has grown from 22% to 31%.
