I wanna see Jerod Nadler (I know, he's not a senator) in a mankini.
Go ahead, and try to unsee THAT.

Why would you want to see that?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

"However, others entering the chamber must comply with the dress code. Coats/ties for men. Business attire for women,"
Why should Senators be exempt? Stupid that Sen. Fetterman will not wear a suit.
(Now whether the suit requirement is a good idea is another discussion, but certainly shorts and a hoodie is in no way acceptable)

Rules for thee, but not for me!
This sort of elitist thinking won't stand up well in time. Let's hope there will be a more thoughtful revision to the Senate Leader's decision soon.

Many Senate and House traditions are overdue for an update.
Probably quite a few of these are less of an issue if remote work is embraced more.
I have no problem with the Senate updating its dress code, even if it ditches suits and ties.
My objection is to the "rules for thee, not for me" nature of this particular update. -
Some traditions should never be updated.
Respect and proper decorum for the institution is a good tradition.

Good thing suits and ties won't be one of those. I expect suits and ties to go the way of the powdered wigs.

It may not be suits and ties, but it damn sure won't be a sloppy pair of shorts and a stained hoodie.

Honestly in this situation, yeah, I agree.

His twitter profile picture is misleading.
Agree the dress code should not be updated. At the very minimum it should reflect semi-formal requirements. Personally, I hate ties. Always have, and I've always thought in 100 years people will look back, like the wigs of the 1700s, and be like... but why did you have a piece of fabric looped around your neck? That being said, sharp dress clothes (pants, shirt, and perhaps jacket) should absolutely be required in Congress.

Does Fetterman even want to be senator?

From that piece:
"So far in his Senate career, Fetterman has missed 33.4 percent of the Senate votes. He is the chamber’s second-most absent member, behind Dianne Feinstein of California, who has missed 46.3 percent of the votes this session. Much of Fetterman’s absence was during his six-week stay at Walter Reed Medical Center in treatment for clinical depression — he missed 85 percent of the votes in February and March. But not all of it was from that time period; Fetterman also missed 13 percent of the votes from July to September.
On July 19, he missed a vote to require the president to consult Congress before withdrawing from NATO. On July 11, he missed a confirmation vote on Xochitl Torres Small to be deputy secretary of Agriculture. And two days later, he missed confirmation votes for Kalpana Kotagal to be a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and David M. Uhlmann to be assistant administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency."
Expel him and send him back home.
