I noticed the Starbucks logo missing from MJ and was wondering about that. I panicked because my favorite Starbucks coffee is Morning Joe, and I was afraid they'd drop it. So far, Morning Joe Starbucks coffee is in the stores, with different packaging (it used to have the MJ official logo & pics of Joe and Mika; now it has packaging like its other coffees).

I expect that there was a money-contract issue that ended the Starbucks endorsement. Starbucks owner is Repubican like Joe, I think. But I'm not sure. And the show was always slated to be a political talk show, so that's no surprise.
