I totally get that a thousand things are happening and it feels like there's a crisis happening every minute in the Trump era.
But PLEASE don't sleep on what's happening in the Senate right now to fight the #TrumpThreatLevel. It affects us all.

In short: Trump is overseeing an illegal war in Yemen. Congress has never authorized it. It's causing the world's worst humanitarian crisis - people are starving and being slaughtered. And the U.S. is complicit.
A procedure under the War Powers Resolution allows Congress to step in when a President wages unauthorized military force, and force a vote to stop it.
Congress almost never uses it. But they're using it now.
