        How about a ban on misusing the Purple Heart to reward obstructionists?

        Omg straws. Wow. Did ya think of the handicapped people who need those straws when you were passing this unbelievably important ban? You are tragic. 👀

        Fantastic news Steve, congratulations, Oh wait a minute, exactly what does that do for your constituents in the 9th district? Would be different if you were working on meaningful bipartisan legislation, i.e. doing the hard work, but you do nothing but swing at the slow pitches!

        A small number of special needs people may still need them, I agree with the ban except have a few available for these folks.

        Guess I'll have to carry a personal straw with me now. I like others have disabilities and using a straw is much easier. Make sure their is a solution for us.

        I have several reusable straws. They’re easy to take along when I need to.
