Trump promised to end endless wars—now he's bombing Yemen without Congressional approval. I stood up when Biden did it, and I’ll stand up now. I passed with @SenSanders & @MikeLeeforUtah a historic War Powers Resolution on Yemen in 2019. No president is above the Constitution.
@theactioncorps “Israel seems intent on targeting critical infrastructure — including seaports, airports, telecommunications, banks and power stations — echoing strategies employed in its campaign against Lebanon.”

@theactioncorps This week the Israeli military launched a major attack on key Yemeni civilian infrastructure. NYT:
“Projections for 2025 indicate a dire year ahead for Yemen’s population as the outlook grows increasingly grim,” [Mohamed Albasha] said. Rest of quote below. ⬇️

📧 WE NEED YOUR HELP. Tell your senators to stop the U.S. from fueling war in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen. With violence escalating and U.S. troops being deployed to Israel, we must reclaim Congress’s power over war decisions. Every voice counts! https://t.co/5cdzTN9gsJ

🚨 Read the fact sheet on Bernie's bid for a Senate vote on US weapons for Israel. Several others (Murphy, Welch, Van Hollen) involved– a key factor in how much support this can get. Also note:

Action Corps just completed 3 days of training on congressional advocacy for global justice, U.S. foreign policy change, and community organizing. We are ready to meet with congressional offices on Capitol Hill and back home in our states! 🕊️
BREAKING — @SenSanders has committed to introduce a Joint Resolution of Disapproval to block new $20B weapons sale to Israel. Activists secured this commitment at the senior center in Brattleboro, VT on Thursday. @NSC_Spox
Note @SenToddYoung’s name on this important letter along with @SenateForeign Relations Committee ranking member @SenatorRisch. Good to see these senators speaking out for humanity.
NEWS: 19 NGOs, incl Action Corps, @ActionAid@CARE@NRC_Norway@OxfamAmerica have called on the 5 permanent and 10 elected members of the UN Security Council to enforce the International Court of Justice’s orders for Israel to immediately halt military ops in Rafah. @SenSchumer👇🏽
Today we met with Vermont’s @RepBeccaB and David Scherr, her state director, about her work on U.S. Middle East policy. We thanked her for her recent statement opposing more U.S. offensive weapons for Israel and talked about how Congress can hold a red line on Rafah invasion.
