Can we please fucking stop using slam in headlines already? It got old 2 decades ago.
... and don't put "IMPORTANT" in your email subject.
I'm really tired of the phrase "make no mistake" too.
Yeah, time to slam that word out of existence!
Slam the door on slamming
Add Breaking to that list.
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.

Just do the same thing they did. Print stickers of Trump saying 'I did this' pointing to high prices of things like eggs.
It's crazy to see "price of eggs!" as a talking point appear on every major broadcaster a month before the election as the defacto rubric for economic strength. Then trillions invested in Western based AI gets obliterated within a week of the new administration taking office.
Well since 50% of Americans don't own stocks and 93% is owned by the top 10%, eggs definitely affect the average person more.
A factory worker may not own a single share of stock and still rationally express concerned when the firm's stock price plummets.
The enormous upfront investment of capital in a rapidly outdated administration model should be extremely alarming to individuals whose employment is predicated on the output of that model.

There should be billboards by now.
If anyone actually thought that piece of shit trump was going to do anything about grocery prices, they are fucking fools.
And I fully understand that this letter is just theater. Stupid, shitty, ineffective theater.
Fuck this whole fucking piece of shit grift called a government.

JFC "Well we sent a letter! what else do you want from us?"
"Why don't people like democrats anymore??"
Republicans don't care when there's a Republican in the White House. Then it's just God's will.
