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.
Too bad "slam" just means some grandstanding in Congress with absolutely 0 changes to the situation. For the amount of money we spend paying various congress-critters to sit in a room kvetching at each other all day, it'd be nice if some of that turned into actionable changes.
If the Democrats want to get some credit fucking do something. As if the election results didn't display this, the average American is not entirely pleased with the Democrats. If they ever want to fill the White House ever again, we better see more than "slamming" happening.
Republicans don't care when there's a Republican in the White House. Then it's just God's will.
There should be billboards by now.
I'm so tired of Democrats taking "the high road." The high road doesn't fucking exist anymore and y'all are just fucking everyone over. Trump is literally on the road to destroying this country and Democrats are trying to do things "the right way."
Fuck that shit. It doesn't work anymore. They're just accepting the premise of assholes. I hate to say it, but unless they fight back with the same kind of energy than they're fucked. If you try and do shit the right way Trump will just undo everything with a wave of his tiny hands.
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.
“We are the Democratic Party. Democrats are fighting for a better, fairer, and brighter future for every American: rolling up our sleeves, empowering grassroots voters, and organizing everywhere to build a better America.”
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.
A rapist who lies to the courts has its base of voters shocked when he doesn’t cum through on his promises.
Let's never forget when the undertaker slammed mankind on the floor from the top of hell in a cell
When I read talking points like this, I think about: Who would they convince? I don't think many people honestly believe Democrats had a capable plan to fix these grocery prices in the first month of a Kamala presidency. Yes, Trump over-promised, and unfortunately, that was probably the right tactic.
I'm still not absolving voters for falling for such snake oil though. Sometimes when grandma clicks the "You have a virus" prompt for the 400th time you have to start blaming her.
Actually, the last important bit to me is who exactly is saying this. Recalling from memory, Elizabeth Warren once put forward a suggestion to require that 40% of a company's board be voted in by employees. It's very possible that with a less corrupt, profit-seeking corporate landscape we wouldn't be in this situation. So even more than Kamala she may have credit to blame others for such things.
the state of our government: hot potato "i told you so" bout time we start seeing this game for what it is.
Dude that top ring frog splash from Bernie took me by surprise, then the tombstone SLAM from warren
Coming through big time on some other day one shit though.
And just to be clear I mean all the bad shit.
Does anyone else have "Slam" on their BINGO card? That's my free space.
"I will drag your asses into prosperity and healthcare whether you like it or not."
The DNC is that smug asshole whose entire TED talk is saying "We need to find new solutions" and then patting himself on the back for bodly going where others have already gone.
