Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs.
And lying about their connection to Project 2025.
They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda.
And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.
Trump: "My administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes. And it's gonna end, and it's ending right now, and nobody is gonna be able to do a damn thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority."

They have taken down several department websites, including the website that stores global CO2 data from observations taken in Hawaii.
That data is still accessible here.
