Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

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.

Just guessing, but eggs are a major staple in the average American diet that don't have a whole lot of comparable alternatives like grain or milk. So when there's a shortage or prices go up, people don't have something to replace it with so it's more apparent that they're missing out on something and that gets attention.

Eggs used to be people’s go-to for cheap animal protein

How much slamming will it take to stop the full-tilt fascism train? Are we almost there yet?

Journalists have ruined the word slam over the last couple of years

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not saying the Democrats are losing fights on purpose and pretending that they're making an honorable sacrifice when really they're just taking their take-a-dive money on the way out, but if they were, what would they do differently?

Call him a liar. To his face. To his subordinates. To his mother. To his cousins. Keep calling him a liar until he understands he is the Dishonest Don.

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.

Sure, but you still want to call it out. Repeatedly.
