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?
Journalists have ruined the word slam over the last couple of years
Depends, is Luigi involved?
slamming alone is not enough i’m afraid. they also need to “rip” and “jab” them
Democrats playing chess while republicans are shitting on the board
Democrats taking a nap while republicans are shitting on the board.
Oh hey look the Democrats are crying about something but not actually doing anything
Hard to do anything in an elected government if you weren’t elected.
This would hold a lot more weight if they had bothered to do jack shit when they were in office.
Also hard to do anything when the people only give you 50 senators and 2 of them are Manchin and Sinema.
Manchin’s still a thing?
He’s been replaced by our former governor, a Trump loving Republican. What people don’t understand is that Manchin was the only Democrat capable of being elected to national office in West Virginia. Yeah he sucked hard, but you’ll never see another Democrat get elected in West Virginia outside of local office in the cities.
That sadly might be a good thing, a true enemy is better than a false friend.
He at least voted majority with the party. Jim Justice will vote with Trump 100%
Roe v. Wade fell on Biden’s watch btw
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.
As Jon Stewart put it on an episode of The Daily Show following the election, “The Republicans are playing chess and the Democrats are playing checkers”
I’d say the Democrats are trying to play Chess while the Republicans are playing Dodgeball.
I’d say at this point that the Democrats are bringing a chessboard to a gunfight. They decided that knives were too uncouth.
S L A M
So fucking do something about it, Democrat dipshits
Did you forget that the Republicans have control of all three branches of government?
the democrats had plenty of time under biden to introduce bills regarding grocery prices. All I remember were finger wagging press releases and corporate give aways in funding.
The past is gone, the now is republicans. I know it’s hard to remember, but they’re in control of everything. The voters could have also not voted trump in, why not get mad at them?
dude that was a few months ago. =) they literally wasted 4 years. again. I’m pissed because my entire adult life the democrats have been worse than ineffectual at improving the american baseline. The republicans managed to take all 3 branches because of how piss poor democrats have been at representing their base. after harris’ disgusting behavior on the campaign trail and biden absolute disgusting policies w/ respect to israel im basically done with the DNC at the national level, they can rot.
Harris had disgusting behavior on the campaign trail? She didn’t piss me off until she said “Fuck confirming judges or demanding recounts or investigations, I’m going to Hawaii!”
Yes. Her campaign shit all over Muslim americans. She refused to condem or even admit to the genocide. She repeatedly tried to gaslight americans over bidens mental fitness. And completely ignored the economic hardships many are experiencing. Wouldn’t commit to keeping ms khan because her family member was under investigation by the ftc.
Absolutely disgusting. Never mind the fact she had no real policies positions that would have improved anything.
And then on top of all that nonsense, palling around with Cheney. And rank and file members immediately throwing lgbt+ under the bus post election in an attempt to deflect responsibility for the loss because of their shit policies.
Dont get me started about actions she took over the last 4 years as VP.
But she and the dnc lost because they refuse to acknowledge how absolutely pissed americans workers are atm. And keep trying to gaslight us.
It’s telling how much they downvote your sensible take
Keep on it guys! If downvotes were real votes, you’d surely win the election!
The voters could have also not voted trump in, why not get mad at them?
This is so completely upside down it hurts. “Why punch up when you could punch down?”
Even if voters were the ones at fault, it’s completely pointless and unproductive to blame the public at large because changing their behavior is a hell of a lot harder than changing the behavior of the handful of people running the campaign. They should be the ones to change based on what the voters want, it shouldn’t be the voters who have to change based on what politicians want to do!
Reminder: Kamala’s plan was to pass anti-price fixing legislation that we’re not getting now
Then they can say that now, then.
Say what plans they would take and push for them instead of waiting it out.
Let us know what they would do with power to make things better and hammer it that with power they would be fixing things and show they are being stopped.what?
The DNC instead of just commenting about how Trump has failed to reach his goals (which should be pushed on as often as reasonable) should be united in making plans of action and stating what they would do with the power of the government when/if its given back to them by the people.
We are seeing that we have given an insane amount of power to certain offices and that by avoiding “decorum” it can be wielded to change things or at least start a very public conversation on them.
We will be worn out by everything being a slam and call-out but this is a great time to start announcing their plans as a party to what they would be doing same as project 2025 was. The power shown by Trump is out of the box. It can not be put back in.
The DNC exists outside of just criticizing Trump. They need to show why they deserve this power too.
COME ON
AND SLAM
AND WELCOME
TO THE
JAM!
the state of our government: hot potato “i told you so” bout time we start seeing this game for what it is.
These people were everyone’s hopes LMAO 🤣
