U.S. Senate unanimously passes formal dress code after uproar
axios.com
The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday to make business attire a requirement on the Senate floor.
The moves comes after backlash to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y.) directive to scuttle the chamber's informal dress code, which was widely viewed to be inspired by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).
The bipartisan resolution requires that business attire be worn on the floor of the Senate, "which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants."
The bill does not spell out what the attire includes for women.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. We're facing another Republican engineered government shutdown but what's the #1 priority? Fashion.
I’m starting to think they also don’t want to see his arm tats that honor victims of gun violence. That would be another crisis unaddressed.
That doesn't mention female attire...
25 senators are women 15 of whom are Democrats (and 1 independent who caucuses with the Democrats) and it was a unanimous vote. Isn't that peculiar?
I think you misspelled “fascism”.
Well there's definitely a rise of ultraconservatism I don't know if I'd call it fascism personally but American politics is in a dangerous place right now.
At least this issue is bIpArTiSaN.
