When I lived in a cultish community, they often used “unity” as a method to silence those who expressed disagreement or who were victimized by the system.
Same dynamic here. One sided “unity.” Unity for me, not for thee.

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.

Why hasn’t the media questioned the Treasury loaning $20-40B dollars to Argentina when funding SNAP for one month costs less than $9B? It could still be a loan, paid back from the appropriation when funding bills are finally passed. The administration will hurt the poor just to pressure Dems!
