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.

    I’m not saying the Democrats are losing fights on purpose and pretending that they’re making an honorable sacrifice when really they’re just taking their take-a-dive money on the way out, but if they were, what would they do differently?

      Hell, you don’t even need to get that conspiratorial.

      There are two possible options. The Democrats are either corrupt, or stupid. Both are a disqualifier for giving them power.
