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.

        He did? I remember him basically voting “No” on everything.

        Then demanding a bunch of compromises from Obama and voting no anyway.

          He did indeed vote with the Democrats the majority of the time. Sometimes, sometimes very important times, he and Krysten Sinema decided to fuck things up. This is why he was always in the news and you got that impression.

          As always, if there were a few more votes this country would be on a very different trajectory.
