If it passes (voted on today) it supposedly will bring an end to the US military support for the UAE / Saudi war against poor Yemen.
Instead of a vote on the Yemen War Powers Resolution that would end US support for the UAE/Saudi war and blockade against Yemen. Senator Bernie Sanders withdrew his request to vote on the Yemen War Powers Resolution, "because" the Biden administration is "opposed" to the resolution and threatened a veto by Biden.
I don't understand why no other senator would pick this up, or how Bernie Sanders could decide which bills are or aren't voted on.
Many of the same Biden administration officials that in 2019 called on Congress to override Trump’s veto of the Yemen war powers resolution, are now against the current one, including Jake Sullivan, Samantha Power, Susan Rice, Wendy Sherman, and Colin Kahl:

Our wonderful media have reported on a ceasefire and that the war against Yemen has ended, which I find hard to believe. Especially as I haven't heard what they plan to do with Yemen, will it once again be split in 2 (north and south) with the unelected Houthis ruling the north?
If it ends anyway, US Congress could have just as well voted for the Yemen War Powers Resolution couldn't they?!?
You probably haven't noticed that our wonderful media hardly ever report on the United Arab Emirates' role in world politics, and that even their role in the genocide against Yemen is underreported. The alternative media that actually blame the coalition mostly blame Saudi Arabia as its leader.
You probably have heard about the Sudan civil war (if that's what it is), between the "official" army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF, previously called Janjaweed) of Hemedti (Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo). But probably not about the Yemen/UAE connection...
RSF mercenaries have fought for both Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the war against Yemen. The "official" Sudanese government is also associated with the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir has forged an alliance with the UAE and Saudis. This suggests that both sides in the war are controlled by the UAE.

Most of the Sudanese mercenaries come from the battle-scarred and impoverished region of Darfur, where some 300,000 people were killed and 1.2 million displaced during a dozen years of conflict.
Most belong to the Janjaweed that were blamed for the systematic rape of women and girls, indiscriminate killing and other war crimes during Darfur’s conflict.

Hemedti’s official Facebook page was managed from the UAE.
On 9 March 2022, none other than Victoria Nuland visited Sudan, planning the kind of freedom and democracy some would call genocide and slavery...
There are also American, Russian and Chinese parties playing their deadly game, but I think the UAE link is the most interesting there.
In February 2022 (just before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine) Hemedti visited Moscow, where he was pictired with Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. The Wagner militia also has strong ties with Hemedti.
Sudan is also involved in some of Southern Africa’s largest gold-smuggling and money laundering operations. Billions of dollars’ worth of gold are smuggled from Zimbabwe to Dubai every month.
Hemedti controls Sudanese gold mines, and some 50% of precious metals were smuggled out of Sudan illegally in 2022. With the RSF allied with the UAE it seems obvious that there is a link between the 2:
