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.
Democratic National Committee, don’t just stick to your old tired playbook of telling everyone that Trump is bad and doing the things he said he’d do. It didn’t work last time.
DNC, start immediately telling all Americans why this is wrong, what you will do different with the executive power, and keep up that messaging in a media blitz to win back all the working class voters who didn’t show up last time. Get a plan now for who you want to run on your ticket, and push them into the spotlight to advocate for us with progressive policies that help the working class. I’m a dreamer, but for the love of all things good, please let them be an actual progressive.
Really? Fucking prove it, then! Be the party of brawlers and stop maintaining “decorum”. MAGA is playing dirty because you’re weak and they know you won’t do shit. Fight for the working class like your mission statement alleges.
So tired of backsliding to the right on this tilted table.
Dems serve the same capital as Trump. Never going to control inflation. It’s a feature not a bug.
Inflation rose globally and the US was able to do the biggest inflation reduction within the G7. I’m sorry we’re not living on the starship enterprise in some comunal utopia and there are still imperfections in the world
If only they were listening…
“Decorum”, the most dangeorus word in American Paulaticks
I mean, it’s pretty hard for them to do much when they never seem to have both houses of Congress.
