If 40 million people go hungry, it would be because the Trump administration ignored a court order, not because Democrats fought for Article I powers.
I think one thing we lose sight of is that it’s really easy to chant that we gotta touch the stove, and it’s a completely different thing to be the owner of the ongoing decision that 40 million people gotta go hungry. That’s a heavy thing and I’m not at all surprised that some Dems are worried.

Donald Trump, famed for moderating on <checks notes> trade
There's also a weird conventional wisdom forming that the Democratic agenda is toxically unpopular and that Republicans are delivering what voters want.
This is laughably false. Trump is the most unpopular president in modern history and his entire agenda is underwater.

it makes me incandescently furious that roberts invented the idea of banning coercive conditions on funding to kill medicaid expansion and refuses to do a single thing about the fact that the trump administration's entire deal is "coercive conditions on funding"

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Decent chance Democrats regain the WH in 2028 and then lose in 2032 because the public forgets who was president when they lost health insurance.
Just like people think covid started under Biden.

No the concern is that it chose the vehicle because it’s sympathetic to the administration *and* this timing gives good reason to be pessimistic that SCOTUS will faithfully maintain this view of nationwide injunctions for a future Dem president.
4 years under Biden: Go!
3 months under Trump: Stop!

Is your concern that it chose the vehicle because it's sympathetic to the constitutionality of the executive order?
I think the opposite: the Court felt comfortable taking the case because it is so blindingly clear that the EO is indefensible.

SCOTUS made the fight here about left versus right because they let a Democratic administration be subject to universal injunctions for four years, showing no interest in this question.
Then a Republican takes office and SCOTUS takes this case up three months later and fast tracks it.
