I'll have you know a shorts and hoodie is appropriate wear pretty much anywhere in PA for any event, so Fetterman should be allowed to rock his Pennsylvania tuxedo
Now Lady Gaga can run for Senate.
And so the Fashionista Party began its dominance of the vote
Balenciagaaaaa!
I hope at least one person still believes you dress for the job you want and they show up as spiderman.
Literally saw this as I'm preparing to go get printed for a background check for my first gov job. I've been debating how dressed-down I wanna be since this isn't an actual "work" thing. This just persuaded me to ditch the polo shirt and wear a tshirt. I'll have plenty of other days when I "need" to wear a colored shirt.

Senates dripping... Now that's one off my bucket list 🤣
More rules for thee but not for me.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has quietly made changes to the Senate’s informal dress code to allow senators to wear whatever they want on the floor, one person with direct knowledge told NBC News.
A notice went out to the Senate sergeant at arms and relevant staff late Friday, and the change will go into effect starting Monday, the source added.
The offices of Schumer and Fetterman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Senate has operated with an informal dress code enforced by the sergeant at arms, which requires men and women to dress in business attire.
But because the standard is not formal or a written policy, senators at times have been seen on the Senate floor wearing gym clothes, golf attire, denim vests, shoes without socks, colorful wigs, among other unconventional attire.
Although senators will benefit from the new change by being permitted to sport casual clothes in the Senate chamber, their staff is still required to wear business clothes under the old dress code.
