Senator Chuck Grassley, a senior member of the U.S. Senate and representative from Iowa, recently used his social media platform to address several issues, including Senate confirmations, foster care advocacy, and immigration policy.
On September 11, 2025, Grassley criticized what he described as ongoing delays in the confirmation process for presidential nominees. He stated: "ITS TIME 4CHANGE Ive repeatedly pushed 4confirmation of Pres Trump’s U.S. Atty nominees stuck on the floor bc of Senate Dem obstruction
ZERO noms this yr hv gone by unanimous consent thats NEVER happened We must restore Senate functioning w confirmation of noms to serve U".
The following day, September 12, Grassley highlighted his role in supporting child welfare initiatives as co-founder of the Senate Caucus on Foster Youth. He wrote: "As co founder of the Senate Caucus on Foster Youth It was my honor to present Four Oaks Family & Children’s Services w the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute’s Angels in Adoption Award They do gr8 work helping Iowans Congratulations!".
Later that same day, Grassley also posted about recent discussions regarding immigration policy. According to his post: "Father Guillermo Trevino & I met this wk to discuss immigration policy".
Grassley's comments about nominee confirmations reflect ongoing partisan tensions over judicial and executive appointments in the U.S. Senate—a situation that has drawn public attention due to its impact on government functioning. The mention of unanimous consent refers to a traditional practice where routine or noncontroversial nominations are approved without objection; according to Grassley, no such approvals have occurred this year.
His recognition of Four Oaks Family & Children’s Services with an Angels in Adoption Award underscores continued bipartisan efforts within Congress to support foster youth and adoption services nationwide.
Grassley's meeting with Father Guillermo Trevino comes amid continuing debates over U.S. immigration policy at both state and national levels.
