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.

      Hard to do anything in an elected government if you weren’t elected.

        This would hold a lot more weight if they had bothered to do jack shit when they were in office.

          Also hard to do anything when the people only give you 50 senators and 2 of them are Manchin and Sinema.

              He’s been replaced by our former governor, a Trump loving Republican. What people don’t understand is that Manchin was the only Democrat capable of being elected to national office in West Virginia. Yeah he sucked hard, but you’ll never see another Democrat get elected in West Virginia outside of local office in the cities.

            We gave them the seats. As fucking always, they found the no votes. If we gave them all 100 seats, there would be 51 manchins.

        And they didn’t get elected because they spent the last four years crying and (mostly) not actually doing anything.

              Then they get to claim shit uncontested, which comes off like you have no rebuttal so they must be right. Intelligent, educated, mindful, and honest people will know better, but that combo seems to be shrinking in supply virtually each and every day.

      Nah, I’m on your side. The Republicans are blatantly ruining this country and breaking the law and the best we can do is just say “hey stop” and then “slam” them in a nothing of consequence article.

      What exactly do you want them to do? What legislation can they pass when they don’t control the House or Senate?

      How do you expect a political party to solve a crisis caused by private industry? Should they pass legislation against bird flu? More regulations for the poultry industry?

      Since you are so smart, what should they do? And how can they fight the majority party that is antagonistic towards everything the democrats try to do?

        The Democrats can use Democracy. Require that corporate boards in America vote in their members through employee elections. It’s a slim minority of power grubbers that would want to keep raising prices against the poor.

        By the way, the senator making this shouting proposed exactly that bill. It didn’t make it anywhere, because people don’t vote in senate majorities letting them pass such things.
