“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.

    You see, when Democrats hold both chambers and the presidency they are powerless against their centrists, but when Republicans do the Democrats are also powerless to stop Democratic centrists from defecting and cancelling out the last 3 Republicans with a vague sense of ethics.

    Weird how that works.

    (The point is the government is thoroughly controlled by conservatives either way)
