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.

    The Democrats can use Democracy. Require that corporate boards in America vote in their members through employee elections. It’s a slim minority of power grubbers that would want to keep raising prices against the poor.

    By the way, the senator making this shouting proposed exactly that bill. It didn’t make it anywhere, because people don’t vote in senate majorities letting them pass such things.
