They Tried to Stop It: Senate Defies Warmongers on Yemen | Graham Elwood

An investigative political news breakdown and foreign policy analysis hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante. Graham covers the historic Senate passage of Sen. Bernie Sanders' War Powers Resolution (56–41) to end U.S. military involvement and refuel support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, marking the first time the Senate used the War Powers Act of 1973 to challenge an unauthorised foreign military intervention. Graham exposes how GOP leadership and five House Democrats voted to block an immediate companion vote in the House, examining the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe, mass casualties, and the urgent push to end U.S. complicity in the war.
