A bipartisan effort to rein in U.S. support for the war in Yemen will come to the Senate floor as soon as next week, setting up President Donald Trump for a likely second veto fight in his presidency

.

Sen. Chris Murphy said he and Sens. Mike Lee and Bernie Sanders will seek to bring up a resolution curtailing the U.S. role in Yemen next week and it is likely to pass again with bipartisan support. In an interview, Murphy acknowledged that the vote could slip to later in March if opponents don't agree to speed up the vote."You could get that done at the end of the week. I don't think the votes going to change" from December, Murphy said.

There is no valid justification for a veto, it only shows that Trump is helping a brutal war to keep slaughter civilians and infants.

Don Veto.

Supporting the war in Yemen means starving babies to death. So I guess it's OK for the anti- abortionist Republicans to worry about killing babies as long as they're someone elses not American!

yeah that's a veto that doesn't look bad at all. 'I'm vetoing this because I think we should continue aiding and abetting a humanitarian catasrophe just because the saudis are afraid of Iran'. 👍 yeah buddy that's a veto to be proud of. Tulsi2020 FYI 👇

Putin is SO happy!
