“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.

      For some reason the Republicans voters I know seem to think that their party is going to pass all the regulatory legislation that that Democrats were suggesting.

      I just don’t understand them. How did they get this brainwashed? It’s not just frustrating. It’s depressing.

      The very second prices come down on their own, with nothing Trump did affecting it, he and his cult will point and say “SEE?!”
