Honestly OP, you could have included the whole thing.
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today introduced the Better Straws Act to restore consumer freedom and eliminate burdensome federal mandates on everyday products. This bill codifies President Trump’s Executive Order 14208, which bans the federal requirement for paper straws and protects Americans’ right to choose practical, affordable alternatives, such as plastic straws.
“Soggy paper straws that disintegrate mid-sip are not just an inconvenience; they’re a symbol of how far the Left is willing to go to impose its radical climate agenda. Paper straws often cost more, function worse, and can carry a larger carbon footprint than plastic straws. The Better Straws Act upholds President Trump’s commitment to common sense by banning federally mandated paper straws and putting consumers back in charge,” said Congresswoman Tenney.
Ignorant Fuck Act
Reported as a rule 1 copyright violation, and if this were the case of an actual news article, it would be removed.
This isn't a news article. It's a public press release on the page of an elected congresswoman.
If you read the copyright notice on the website, it links to the relevant law, which starts with:
Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise.
So it's not a copyright violation, since it's a US government work (and doesn't fall under the exceptions listed in the law).
Pretty much what I said. :)
Sorry -- I misread it as you reported it. Makes sense, thanks!
appropriately named BS Act
I would love to but it’s explicitly forbidden by the Rule 1 of this community
These are full-grown adults acting this way. They're upset about straws while every normal decent person is worried about their rights being taken away by dying senile old man. Fuck Trumpstein.
Y'all realize this just gets rid of a ban (that was never followed) for federal facilities, right?
There's a lot of real shit we should be pissed about these days, so dumb shit like this will start happening, they're desperate to change subjects
A bit off topic, but do you got any news on Luigi?
Fucking weird...
I just had the same thought like 15 minutes ago and looked around.
TMZ article from a week ago had a pic of him in jail doing a Slavic squat and throwing up the Shaka. Dude looks great.
It had a picture of a letter he responded to someone too, but I didn't bother reading that.
Other than that nothing since they challenged the dress code for his appearances. Typical stuff, nothing crazy

This just dropped a couple of days ago, there was some news about it.
In brief, Mangione's lawyers are accusing the prosecution of falsifying a subpoena to Aetna to get protected health records about Mangione, which they received and at least partially reviewed.
They’re still trying to get the thing dismissed. Apparently they lied about having a subpoena and acquired Luigi’s medical records illegally.
Fuck plastic straws. I also don't want to use the paper straws because they are often held together with glues/adhesives. As someone that worked briefly in chemical engineering making adhesives for chip components, resistors, and thermal paste, I don't want what's holding the paper straws in my body. Now I just sip straight from the cup, without a straw.
Jesus fuck.
