In a message expressing gratitude for a birthday gesture, Grassley wrote, "Thx Sen Hyde Smith for the big beautiful bday cake I shared w capitol police" (September 19, 2025). Shortly after, he commented on recent Senate confirmations: "48 of Pres Trump’s nominees confirmed by the Senate 2day Sen Schumer broke the Senate floor noms process & NOW Senate GOP fixed it" (September 19, 2025).

Later that day, Grassley discussed healthcare access in rural communities: "Met w Chairman Jason Smith abt ways we can help deliver access to health care in rural America" (September 19, 2025).

Grassley has been an advocate for rural healthcare and frequently collaborates with fellow lawmakers on issues affecting his constituents. His remarks regarding the confirmation of presidential nominees reflect ongoing debates about the efficiency and fairness of the Senate's nominations process.
