Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

Yep that’s absolutely what it is. Using the word “reconstruction” in this way is 100% a Steve miller special.
I _think_ this portion of the “restoring history” EO is meant to compel restoration of Confederate monuments. Aside from this being mere guidance, though, I see a snag: how does it “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history” to remove shrines to people who rebelled against us?

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.
It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

It's incredibly disingenuous to paint these as projects that don't benefit American workers and companies, because they absolutely do.
They give companies the confidence to invest and expand their businesses (without fearing labor violations) and they create a level playing field for our workers.

Republicans are FOR:
-gender inequity
-worker disempowerment
-taking away workers' rights
-decreasing women's labor force participation
-removing support for migrant workers vulnerable to labor abuse
-reducing social security access and worker protections
-unsafe & exclusionary work environments
-gender inequity
-worker disempowerment
-taking away workers' rights
-decreasing women's labor force participation
-removing support for migrant workers vulnerable to labor abuse
-reducing social security access and worker protections

So here's the thing about these small grants. They actually do a lot to make sure we're not competing with, you know, slave labor. And promoting gender equity in the workplace means helping women get into decent jobs so they can support their families and not feel the need to migrate here!
