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.

    There was more than BBB. I don’t need to carry water for him but I do prefer to have a conversation grounded in reality that isn’t emotive and charged every time either. It’s impossible to discuss anything because every approach is devoid of nuance, details, or the boring entrapings of how policy actually gets done. It’s a lot more fun to screech about genocide Joe in’it?

      There was more than BBB.

      There wasn’t even BBB. It was killed by Democrats without even coming to the floor for a vote. Do tell, how did Old Man Biden out-progressive LBJ?

      I don’t need to carry water for him

      So stop.

      but I do prefer to have a conversation grounded in reality that isn’t emotive and charged every time either

      If you prefer a conversation grounded in reality, don’t say that Biden passed massive legislation that he didn’t pass. If you prefer conversation grounded in reality, don’t pretend that FPTP is going to come out of a party that considered the filibuster more important than democracy itself.

        Hey man, keep screeching about how emotionally buthurt you are and keep calling people liars. In the meantime, the rest of us are going to roll up our sleeves and get to work building. The boomer dems aren’t going to be around forever and we gotta move forward. This whole brooding in bitterness and defeatism is bullcrap.

          I’ve seen what you build. There’s a reason you have to oversell it as being second only to the New Deal.
