Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican representing Iowa and a senior member of the U.S. Senate, shared updates on agricultural conditions and government oversight via his Twitter account in July 2025.

On July 19, Grassley provided an update on soybean crop development, stating: "Pods are setting on bean plant  If continue to get timely rain each pod should hv 3 beans in it abt twice size of a BB Shortage of rain they may only be BB size #soybeanwatch https://t.co/EbCYG7BK5r".

Two days later, on July 21, he commented on corn pollination: "The tassel at top of stalk sheds its pollen on the white silk lower on stalk Each thread of silk leads to a future kernel When the silk turns brown as u c in last picture pollination is complete #cornwatch https://t.co/rmXnnzo1TS".

Later that same day, Grassley addressed developments related to the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails. He wrote: "NEWLY-DECLASSIFIED DOC shows DOJ Inspector Gen concluded the Comey-run FBI FAILED 2 conduct a thorough + complete investigation into Clinton email scandal Comey & his team ate up Steele Dossier lies + chased after Russia collusion hoax but took kid gloves approach on Clinton".

Grassley's posts reflect both his background as a farmer from Iowa and his long-standing role in congressional oversight. The senator has frequently used social media to provide firsthand updates about crop conditions during growing seasons and to comment publicly on high-profile investigations involving federal agencies and political figures. His statements regarding the Department of Justice Inspector General's findings align with ongoing debates over how federal law enforcement handled politically sensitive cases during recent election cycles.
