I like that the thumbnail is John Fetterman. Like who else could this be almost explicitly aimed at.

Ok so can we have universal healthcare now? Cause that should be the biggest issue every single day for them.

Time for femboy Congress

Although senators will benefit from the change by being permitted to sport casual clothes in the Senate chamber, their staffs are still required to wear business clothes under the old dress code. People other than senators who walk on to the Senate floor will also need to wear business attire, which for men means a jacket and a tie.

One rule for thee but not for me.

Dress codes are designed to keep the "wrong people" out. Show up to a DC event and they'll know you don't belong by the cut of your suit.

should've passed it for every job, everywhere, using the same logic

Know what would be funny? All the Dems show up in tan suits.

I'd love to see the moral scolds on the right pipe up about how scandalous this all is, right after Lauren "handy" Qbert was caught on video....

Everyone will live long enough to regret this. Matt Gates will show up in a thong and a gas mask to protest something and the votes won't be there to bring things back the old rules.

I’m ok with this- who the fuck cares if you have a tie.

I was all shit and tie when I started my job, and especially after Covid, things have relaxed to just about anything. Sure, I still put on a nice work polo for a client meeting or something, but fuck the suit and tie. If anything, fancy dress code made me way less productive because I was god damned uncomfortable all day. I’m a software engineer and cloud architect- wearing a dress shirt and tie is ridiculous.

As for our lawmakers, one less thing to distract them from actually reading bills and having productive discussion is a win.

Fetterman wearing a hoodie is BAD AS FUCK.

I hope this goes to the House too so I can finally see Boebert in her wal mart pajama pants

This is part of a slow trend towards powerful people dressing casually to differentiate themselves from the less powerful people who work for them. Historically, trends like this have been set by the elite and are then emulated by people trying to convince others that they are elite. This is the beginning of the end of formal wear in the United States. Soon a suit will mean "i work at a hotel".

They should wear togas and sashes. Maybe have some fist fights and assasinations once in a while.

You heard the old man in charge, boys. Dicks out on Monday.

Fuck yeah. Hoodie and jeans. He's the most "average man" there is.

Eh, I'm fine with it being loosened up, but is it really "whatever they want"? If it is then I'd think annoying attention-grabbing messaging would become an issue. (Or, not an issue, in the grand scheme of things, but another in a long list of distractions)

This will be helpful in so many ways, humility and work ethic will be encouraged by not inflating ego with suits. If a suit is your style, great and fine, have at! If you are wearing it to feel important and you are working with others who are dressed differently, you are reminded that the job is at hand and not ego.

I saw a dude the other day looked exactly like Senator Fetterman. He was a tow truck driver.
