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.

    Yeah, but that point is in the past. And back then, a whole shitload of people decided it wasn’t worth their time/energy/feelings to vote for the not-a-nazi.

    The reality of now is that no one can do shit. Feel free to post more theory about how shit should work. It won’t amount to shit, we’re in fascist oligarchy times. You’re not going to change their behavior.
