The US government has sovereign immunity, just like Texas claims here. The difference is that a Federal court can overrule a state's SI.

Nobody can overrule the federal government's SI, meaning the federal government cannot be sued for any reason unless it agrees to be sued and forfeits SI in that case.

How do people not know this?
