The Senate no longer has a dress code, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, announced this week.
After the announcement, Sen. Susan Collins joked, "I plan to wear a bikini tomorrow to the Senate floor," the Maine Republican told reporters.
Collins went on to clarify she "obviously" is not going to wear a bikini, according to the Washington Examiner. "But of all the issues that we have to deal with right now, ranging from the possibility of the government shutting down to what we do about Ukraine, we're talking about the Senate dress code? That's extraordinary to me!"
Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, has often worn causal clothes like sweatshirts and basketball shorts to work.
Now, there is no rule prohibiting it.

Fetterman said today, how did he put it... if the jagoffs in the House fund the government, I'll save Democracy by wearing a suit in the Senate next week.
It’s weird isn’t it. Almost like there’s a uniparty at the top with the same ppl that have been in government for DECADES.

The timing is certainly perfect. The GOP members are on the verge of shutting down the government because they can't even agree amongst themselves and instead of trying to help come up with a solution, the GOP in the Senate are instead more worried about a dress code.
To the average voter, the entire GOP comes out looking inept and focused on things that aren't important.

what a total asshole. So he doesn't have some medical reason for dressing like a child, and could play the part of "adult" just fine, but rather than that, he threw a tantrum until the senate change the rules?
either he's a bitch or the entire senate is his. No other options.
