    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.

    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

    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.
