Currently, yes. Republicans have the trifecta. They could affect grocery prices, but I don’t see Republicans infringing on ‘free enterprise’ like that.
The point I initially made is that the President alone cannot do anything to fix grocery costs without a systemic meltdown, so voters shouldn’t even be casting their presidential ballot on this topic.
Please educate me. Explain how the President can quickly fix grocery prices without an Executive Order? I haven’t seen anything else that can be done solely by the President.
The President does not create laws, Congress does. The President can repeal laws, which doesn’t help in this context.
Tariffs are not laws. They are an additional tax, and you’re correct in stating that they certainly won’t lower prices.
Further propagating the misinformation that the President has any useful control over private enterprise? Nixon’s grocery price fixing was an unmitigated disaster. An Executive Order is the only tool in the President’s toolbox for controlling grocery prices without congressional legislation. Biden couldn’t lower prices in 2020, just as Trump can’t lower them in 2024.
POTUS is responsible for many important things. The price of a bottle of Coke is not one of them.
The Senate has been slow all term in confirming judges. There are 31 currently awaiting action.
As of now, Biden has seated 233 judges against Trump’s 234.

Those pardoned Thursday had been convicted of nonviolent crimes such as drug offenses and turned their lives around, White House lawyers said. They include a woman who led emergency response teams during natural disasters; a church deacon who has worked as an addiction counselor and youth counselor; a doctoral student in molecular biosciences; and a decorated military veteran.
The president had previously issued 122 commutations and 21 other pardons. He’s also broadly pardoned those convicted of use and simple possession of marijuana on federal lands and in the District of Columbia, and pardoned former U.S. service members convicted of violating a now-repealed military ban on consensual gay sex.
Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., and 34 other lawmakers are urging the president to pardon environmental and human rights lawyer Steven Donziger, who was imprisoned or under house arrest for three years because of a contempt of court charge related to his work representing Indigenous farmers in a lawsuit against Chevron.
Insane they were imprisoned in the first place

It’s appalling they were imprisoned in the first place.
Trump will ‘negotiate peace’ by standing with Putin and insisting Ukraine forgo a sizable portion of territory to end the war.
Zelenskyy will rightfully refuse, then Trump will point his finger at Zelenskyy for failing to come to the table while simultaneously propping up his own ‘great’ efforts to bring peace to Eastern Europe.
Many psychologists have said the biggest advantage the Trump campaign had in influencing the average person was their use of memorable and repeatable phrases.
Winning the average vote in the US is not unlike training a puppy.
Board members will likely approve additional pay and security detail for CEOs given the new risk associated with the role.
There’s no hiding it. They can tell by your socks.
He definitely looks less like the old eccentric guy who glued thousands of bottle caps, buttons, and toys to the outside of his 1987 Yugo.
We’ll be laughing at pictures of Willow just like this one day.
There’s unprecedented gray area in the “presidential immunity.” Technically the crime was committed when he reimbursed Cohen, which was done with presidential payroll once Trump took office. He’ll appeal this until he’s dead.
This would be Donald J. Trump without his spray tan or scalp surgery.
It’s a typo. They meant to write witch hole.
Y’see the witch hole is a small and elusive hole, overlooked by most men. It’s 99% effective in achieving pregnancy when used correctly. Think of it like the top hole in Skee-Ball. It’s not a guarantee you’ll win, but it greatly increases the chances.

It’s up to the lender to accept the settlement. They’re the ones taking the loss. The sale is not the result of financial hardship, so the court cannot force the lender to accept an unreasonably insufficient buyout offer for the loan.
US sanctions on Russia have been in effect since 2014, and have only been increased since Biden took office.
The article states that these sanctions could result in increased costs to Americans, which is why he was reluctant to enforce them before now. At this point, it’s intended to be a final squeeze on Putin’s resources before Trump comes in and offers him a third of Ukraine.
Added scare quotes to clarify sarcasm. Yes, the valve only goes one way with Republicans. They won’t regulate private enterprise in a way that adversely impacts domestic businesses.
