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.

How much slamming will it take to stop the full-tilt fascism train? Are we almost there yet?
Depends, is Luigi involved?
Journalists have ruined the word slam over the last couple of years
Don't forget finger wagging and strongly worded letters
slamming alone is not enough i’m afraid. they also need to “rip” and “jab” them
We need more forceful language like annihilates or obliterates or I dunno excoriate. I find any headline that uses this style of headline is generally crap though generally.
i’m partial to “eviscerate”. but i agree, i feel like these headlines are just a more clickbaity way of communicating “X says Y” and typically that’s not super interesting. especially when lots of other people are already saying Y.
