The Department of Justice (DOJ) says it has opened an investigation into a New York City coffee shop after it blasted Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., in a social media post, saying it should not have served him, and he should never come back due to his support of Israel. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said the DOJ has opened an investigation into the Poetica Coffee Shop in Brooklyn.Dhillon says the department is aware of the "denial of service taunts" directed at Goldman and says federal law prohibits public accommodations, including coffee shops, from discriminating against patrons based on race, religion, or national origin. Dhillon says the alleged denial of service could violate federal anti-discrimination law and says enforcement action is possible.In a now-deleted Facebook post, Poetica Coffee said it issued a refund to Goldman after learning that he had stopped by the location with his young daughter. The shop added that it would have simply turned Goldman away if staff had recognized him at the time.SMOOTHIE KING FIRES EMPLOYEES WHO REFUSED TO SERVE CUSTOMERS OVER TRUMP SWEATSHIRT"Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?" the post stated, referring to Goldman’s support for Israel and accusations that the Jewish state has committed genocide against Palestinians during the war in Gaza."See, here at Poetica, we don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between," the post continued. "Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away. We issued you a refund—we don’t need your money (it’s probably coming from AIPAC anyways). Enjoy your loss on Tuesday. Don’t ever come to Poetica."In a statement on social media, Goldman said he was disappointed by the shop's remarks."I’m sorry to see this post," he said. "The barista could not have been nicer to my 7-year-old daughter and me—allowing her to use the bathroom even though we had not purchased anything. I made sure to buy a coffee in return for her kindness. I hope you at least make sure she gets the tip that she deserved."In response, the shop said it was the barista's idea to refund Goldman's purchase.

- Fox News Anchor Pours Cold Water On JD Vance’s Iran Deal Update: ‘Might Not ...
Fox News anchor John Roberts poured some cold water on Vice President JD Vance’s latest update on his talks with Iran on Monday. Vance took questions from reporters before boarding Air Force Two to return home from Switzerland, where he met with the Iranian delegation. Vance hyped a return to weapons inspectors, a key part of the Obama-era nuclear deal, as a way to verify Iran lives up to its part of the deal. “Okay, the Vice President boarding the plane, Air Force Two, and heading back to the United States after a couple of days of negotiations there in the beautiful part of the world, Lucerne, Switzerland, with the Iranian delegation. Sandra saying that he’s achieved some success in setting up a mechanism to keep the Strait of Hormuz open,” Roberts began, recapping Vance’s remarks. “Though a lot of people would say American firepower is all you need to do that, setting up the mechanism to achieve a lasting ceasefire, and the fact that the Iranians say that they will allow inspectors to come in, in terms of their nuclear program,” Roberts added, offering a small jab at the administration for not using military force to gain control of the Strait. “The Vice President there with a caveat that says we don’t know exactly what that means. And if history is any guide, might not mean much,” concluded Roberts. “Yeah, adding that it’s been a very confusing process to negotiate with the Iranians, but that positive talk about getting that oil moving is what continues to send oil prices lower, now near $74 a barrel. The U.S. stock market’s still hovering near all-time highs, so as long as the messaging continues to be that — you know, we have reason to believe that the White House is happy with what they’ve seen so far — John,” added co-anchor Sandra Smith. “And the word from the administration — and you and I know this because we were on a call with a senior administration official a little more than a week ago — is that if this all transpires in the way that the White House hopes it will, it has the potential to transform the Middle East,” Roberts continued, adding: The Vice President reiterated that again, but he also said, “We haven’t built the house yet.” And I would think, of all the things, all the houses… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago - Vance takes lead selling Trump’s Iran gamble as Rubio, Hegseth and Ratcliffe c...Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland this week as the Trump administration’s most visible defender of a fragile Iran memorandum of understanding, even as officials moved to tamp down reports of internal concern over whether Tehran can be trusted to follow through on nuclear concessions."If it doesn’t happen, I’m blaming JD Vance. If it does happen, I’m taking full credit," joked President Donald Trump this month of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran.The MOU, signed last week, has not resolved the core dispute over Iran’s nuclear program, but instead opened a 60-day negotiating window aimed at turning broad commitments into enforceable terms — leaving Vance to defend a framework that supporters call a diplomatic opening for sustained stability in the region and skeptics fear could give Tehran room to stall.While Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have been central to previous high-profile foreign policy missions, Vance spent last week as one of the administration’s chief public advocates for the Iran deal, repeatedly fielding questions about the negotiations during a media blitz for his new book.JD VANCE REVEALS DETAILS OF US-IRAN DEAL, ADDRESSES WHETHER TAXPAYER MONEY WILL GO TO TEHRANA senior U.S. official told Fox News Digital earlier this month that there was a "split" inside the administration on support of the Iran MOU but wouldn't say which officials did not support the decision. The talks have been fragile for weeks, with the MOU serving less as a breakthrough than a temporary framework while U.S. officials continue to wrestle with whether Iran can be trusted to follow through on nuclear commitments.CIA Director John Ratcliffe reportedly emerged as a key intelligence leader who expressed doubt about the intelligence behind the Iran deal to Trump and other senior officials, Axios reported. Rubio and Hegseth also reportedly held reservations, while Vance and other officials advocated for the MOU, according to the outlet. The CIA did not comment when asked by Fox News Digital if Ratcliffe was skeptical about the deal.A second senior U.S. official told Fox News Digital that Trump officials were all aligned in supporting the deal and viewed it as the appropriate path forward.While a White House official added that Vance emerged as a lead negotiator because Trump tasked him with the role from the outset, arguing his position as vice president gives him the stature to bring key players from countries… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago
