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            He’s been replaced by our former governor, a Trump loving Republican.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.

              That sadly might be a good thing, a true enemy is better than a false friend.

                He at least voted majority with the party. Jim Justice will vote with Trump 100%

          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.

          The block button is a useful tool. You only have to see the troll once and they are gone forever!

            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.
