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.

          This doesn’t change the fact that Republicans control all three branches of government right now.

          Voters could have changed that, but they didn’t.

          They were probably all protesting the sleepy Dems right? So they all got what they wanted right?

              You know, he actually passed some of the most monumental legislation in decades, a lot of it with bipartisan support. But because we are not living on the starship enterprise here you are as usual shitting on everything and everyone.

                He passed the IRA, which was a consolation prize for Democrats killing BBB. You might be satisfied with the same legislation that manchin was willing to vote for. I saw what Democrats killed. BBB never came to the floor for a vote. I’m sure you’re satisfied that minimum wage stayed low like you want it.

                As for the “bipartisan support,” yeah, democrats voted for some republican legislation like the anti-trans defense bill.

                But because we are not living on the starship enterprise here you are as usual shitting on everything and everyone.

                “Don’t support genocide.” “Fucking progressives expect perfection.”

                    Yes, I mentioned the anti-trans bill. Oh, yeah. There was also republican border policy. And of course the aid to a genocidal apartheid regime.
