Summary

Democratic lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, criticized Trump for failing to address rising food costs despite campaign promises to lower prices “immediately.”

In a letter, they accused Trump of focusing on mass deportations and January 6 pardons instead of tackling grocery inflation, which rose 1.8% in 2024, with egg prices up 36.8%.

Trump’s administration defended its actions, citing efforts to reduce inflation by cutting energy costs.

    The media gets high on sensationalism. If a Democratic politician came out and said that the President was “deep-throating Putin’s cock,” oh believe me, that’d get coverage right quick!

        I dunno man, your stance comes across as defeated, like nothing is worth doing. I disagree with that take.

          Wounded but not defeated.

          There certainly is lots that can be done. Just aware that there is an uphill battle to be fought, and the number of allies is limited.
