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.
How much slamming will it take to stop the full-tilt fascism train? Are we almost there yet?
Journalists have ruined the word slam over the last couple of years
Depends, is Luigi involved?
slamming alone is not enough i’m afraid. they also need to “rip” and “jab” them
I’m so tired of Democrats taking “the high road.” The high road doesn’t fucking exist anymore and y’all are just fucking everyone over. Trump is literally on the road to destroying this country and Democrats are trying to do things “the right way.”
Fuck that shit. It doesn’t work anymore. They’re just accepting the premise of assholes. I hate to say it, but unless they fight back with the same kind of energy than they’re fucked. If you try and do shit the right way Trump will just undo everything with a wave of his tiny hands.
As Jon Stewart put it on an episode of The Daily Show following the election, “The Republicans are playing chess and the Democrats are playing checkers”
I’d say the Democrats are trying to play Chess while the Republicans are playing Dodgeball.
I’d say at this point that the Democrats are bringing a chessboard to a gunfight. They decided that knives were too uncouth.
Oh hey look the Democrats are crying about something but not actually doing anything
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.
Manchin’s still a thing?
He’s been replaced by our former governor, a Trump loving Republican.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%
