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.

    How much slamming will it take to stop the full-tilt fascism train? Are we almost there yet?

        We need more forceful language like annihilates or obliterates or I dunno excoriate. I find any headline that uses this style of headline is generally crap though generally.

          i’m partial to “eviscerate”. but i agree, i feel like these headlines are just a more clickbaity way of communicating “X says Y” and typically that’s not super interesting. especially when lots of other people are already saying Y.
