Here’s the problem: SCOTUS more or less Ok’d the previously illegal “pocket rescission”.

This means the administration can literally decide to not fund anything appropriated by Congress. That makes negotiations for funding anything pointless. There has to be a line somewhere. At least (for now I think) the administration can’t fund things without congressional approval. It’s literally the only leverage Democrats have.
