Plus side I guess is given there already was a declaration of war there are no responsibilities left for congress to abdicate if trump wants to try and start a big war.
Since when is a call for more UN sanctions grounds for calling the US Senate to the White House?
Since Trump's approval ratings suck and he wants to be seen as doing something so he makes a giant fuss to stir up press and get people excited and hungry for a fight on the news.

Since Trump has nothing else?
Actually, according to the BBC, it's two separate things (the US Senate being called in and the call for stricter UN sanctions are not connected): http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39694640

So what is the exact goal of the sanctions in terms of what NK would need to do to get them removed or loosened? I am no sure Trump has a clear goal in mind.

When we got a manbaby as a president, who is equally as likely to have done it because he just got in the photoshopped pictures of his inauguration, as he is because he's going to bomb a place.
Regardless, based on the past few months, we're gonna get lots more info leaked here shortly.
Maybe some folks are actually following where our fleets are this time around too, so we can get some level of heads up if there's some buildup that is unusual.
Senate staff perplexed by unusual White House private briefing on North Korea
The White House announced Monday it would host an unusual private briefing on North Korea for the entire U.S. Senate, prompting questions from lawmakers over whether the Trump administration intends to use the event as a photo op ahead of his 100-day mark.
Yet the location at the White House perplexed lawmakers who have grown accustomed to such briefings taking place in a secure location on Capitol Hill, where there is more room to handle such a large group.
Past administrations have often held briefings for smaller groups of about two dozen or fewer lawmakers in the White House Situation Room. But they have traditionally sent high-level aides to Capitol Hill to hold discussions with larger groups in secure, underground locations.
Another senior aide, who also requested anonymity, said it was Trump’s idea to hold the meeting at the White House.
“I heard this came from Trump himself, that in a nutshell he said, ‘why don’t we have them up here instead?’” the aide said.
Congressional staffers suggested that the briefing’s proximity to Trump would make it easy for him to “drop by” and perhaps take over the briefing.
The image of senators meeting with Trump at the White House on a top national security concern could be touted by the White House as a key moment in the run-up to Trump’s first 100 days in office — a milestone the president has mocked in recent days but that his administration is working aggressively to promote.

This is the most plausible reason I can think of
Cause uh
Is there even like
A secure auditorium in the WH for 100 people
Are they going to brief the senators in the movie theatre

"Briefing" actually screening of Team America
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKERS

And we all know the truth about Donald "Nobody Respects Women More Than I Do" Trump.
"Nikki who? She does what?"

This certainly is unusual
This isn't going to be good.
I don't like that.

Great time to start a war.
It would certainly be something he could point to in his first 100 days.
The ENTIRE Senate?
What the fuck?
NNID: Hakkekage
So...bets on this being a briefing to get a declaration of war?
That would be a fun fight in the Senate.
Can you filibuster a war?
Yeah...they ain't getting that.
I'm not even sure they'd be able to sell a war if NK did test a nuke tomorrow.
Plus side I guess is given there already was a declaration of war there are no responsibilities left for congress to abdicate if trump wants to try and start a big war.
Right now, just more sanctions.

And has no idea what he's doing

It could be simply be optics. Look at this NK. We're super serious over here!

So it's just laziness then.
Or Trump just likes the idea of 100 senators dancing for his pleasure.
Or that AND laziness.

Build a hotel.
Trump could feed them dog treats in front of the cameras and they'd eat them
double technically, didn't we not actually start being at war?
Presumably the UN mission is still authorized and no UN member (except DPRK, the targeted belligerent) needs authorization to start shooting again.

Trump is going to put a 20% tariff on soft lumber entering the US from Canada.
If this reminds you of a similar Bush administration action in 2002, wow, you have a good memory for trade disputes.
