Coffee Shop Bans Congressman Over Gaza Stance

A New York coffee shop sparked national controversy by banning Congressman Dan Goldman after he brought his daughter in — citing his support for policies they say enable genocide and allegedly linking his payment to AIPAC. The shop refunded his coffee and deleted its social media, facing backlash and criticism from both the public and even Goldman’s own opponent, Brad Lander. Now, the Justice Department has launched a civil rights investigation into whether the shop violated federal anti-discrimination laws, turning a simple coffee run into a flashpoint for politics, free speech, and legal accountability.
