“During your first week of office you have instead focused on mass deportations and pardoning January 6 attackers,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren and 19 other lawmakers told the president in a letter.

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.

    The DNC instead of just commenting about how Trump has failed to reach his goals (which should be pushed on as often as reasonable) should be united in making plans of action and stating what they would do with the power of the government when/if its given back to them by the people.

    We are seeing that we have given an insane amount of power to certain offices and that by avoiding “decorum” it can be wielded to change things or at least start a very public conversation on them.

    We will be worn out by everything being a slam and call-out but this is a great time to start announcing their plans as a party to what they would be doing same as project 2025 was. The power shown by Trump is out of the box. It can not be put back in.

    The DNC exists outside of just criticizing Trump. They need to show why they deserve this power too.
