Meghan Markle is doubling down on her push for Congress to pass federal paid family leave — by donating $25 Starbucks gift cards to the staff of a national nonprofit pushing the proposal. Paid Leave for the United States spokesman Neil Stroka tweeted Saturday that the Duchess of Sussex “bought everyone @PaidLeaveUS a few cups of coffee while we’re working overtime to #SavePaidLeave.” “Unbelievably classy… and necessary,” Sroka posted. “Truly honored to know she has our backs in the fight to win #PaidLeaveForAll.” Markle, who originally hails from Los Angeles, previously issued a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

It's no secret that True Romance is one of the musician's favorite films. Back in August, Kourtney posted behind-the-scenes clips of her and Travis' movie night, in which they saw—you guessed it—True Romance, while they vacationed in Mexico. In March, Travis debuted a new tattoo that referenced the 1993 classic.

What's more? Travis and Shanna used the True Romance theme song for their 2004 wedding. They called it quits in 2008 and also share son Landon Asher Barker, 18.
