The group continued: “But during the first week of assuming your position, I instead focused on mass deportations and pardoning the January 6, including those who assaulted the Capitol police officers.” “The only procedure you took on costs was an executive matter that only contains the lowest indication of food prices, not a single specific policy to reduce it.”

“To make food within the reach of everyone, we must look at the dominant food and groceries companies that have achieved record profits at the expense of working families that have to pay higher prices.
