The GOP claim that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown keeps being undermined by Trump, who is demanding they unilaterally end it by abolishing the filibuster. Trump says Republicans are being killed and he’s not wrong. They control the federal government.

It’s important to note this was a procedural action, not a ruling on the merits of the underlying case. Justice Jackson wasn’t siding with the Trump administration; she was making sure the legal process unfolded correctly and fairly.

Here's a good recent example of what I mean, where a Democrat pushes back instead of accepting a Trump-friendly distortion as the premise.
Thanks @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social for alerting me to it, @corybooker.com for sharing/praising it, and especially @neguse.house.gov for doing it.
