Democrats slam Trump for not making good on promise to ‘immediately’ lower food prices
“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.

Democrats playing chess while republicans are shitting on the board
Republicans are using quantum computers while Democrats are using Packard Bells with a 386 CPU.
Democrats taking a nap while republicans are shitting on the board.
The Republicans control all three branches of government.
The nap has been going on for decades.
This doesn't change the fact that Republicans control all three branches of government right now.
Voters could have changed that, but they didn't.
They were probably all protesting the sleepy Dems right? So they all got what they wanted right?
Spoken like someone who was satisfied with the Biden administration.
You know, he actually passed some of the most monumental legislation in decades, a lot of it with bipartisan support. But because we are not living on the starship enterprise here you are as usual shitting on everything and everyone.

He passed the IRA, which was a consolation prize for Democrats killing BBB. You might be satisfied with the same legislation that manchin was willing to vote for. I saw what Democrats killed. BBB never came to the floor for a vote. I'm sure you're satisfied that minimum wage stayed low like you want it.
As for the "bipartisan support," yeah, democrats voted for some republican legislation like the anti-trans defense bill.
But because we are not living on the starship enterprise here you are as usual shitting on everything and everyone.
"Don't support genocide." "Fucking progressives expect perfection."
He passed way way more than the IRA
Yes, I mentioned the anti-trans bill. Oh, yeah. There was also republican border policy. And of course the aid to a genocidal apartheid regime.
And just to be clear. I hate the Dems. Probably more than you do. I hate Biden with a passion. I hate Kamala - or Hillary 2.0- next too. So much I unregistered from the Hem party.
It's just we gotta work within the system somehow or we just check out. I don't know. Im praying for all the boomer politicians to check out. I've lost most hope anyway.
Again. This is just bitter copium. He past some of the biggest legislation since FDR. Of course it would be pointless having that discussion with you as you clearly are already bad faith about this topic with your selective memory.
You don't like how politics works. I get it. None of us do. But this incessant hostility to the Dems is not going to move the needle unless we move beyond FPTP. Figure it out.
Apparently that's a valid move, they won
I mean of course, because the game that's actually going on is real life and not chess. If you saw a guy playing chess by himself in the park and a dude runs up and let loose on the board, who won? The guy who just lost twelve and a half pounds or the guy sitting in it saying "hmmm, the Dennis Prager gambit?"
That's gotta be one of the most hilariously and depressingly accurate descriptions of the situation I've seen
Google "En Poosant"
Holy shit!
Since it’s not expressly forbidden in the rules, and the referee is friends with the republicans, (and also someone who has money riding on the outcome has promised to pay them), the democrats have no choice but to shrug and say the next game is going to be the most important one yet, while seating a player that has no clue how to play
Trump flips the board, pieces go everywhere and exclaims, "I win! I'm the best at Checkers!"
