Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican representing Iowa, posted several statements on his social media account on October 6, 2025. His tweets addressed concerns about employment verification in Des Moines Public Schools, alleged FBI surveillance of Senate colleagues, and provided an update on his farm's harvest.

In a tweet posted at 19:27 UTC, Grassley stated: "DHS told me 2day there is NO RECORD of Des Moines Public Schools enrolled in E-Verify If E-Verify case had been created it would hv shown nonconfirmation for Ian Roberts/he shldnt hv had ANY valid evidence of employment auth Iowans r deeply troubled by DMPS vetting failures" (October 6, 2025).

Later that evening at 20:30 UTC, Grassley published another message concerning federal investigations. He wrote: "This document shows the Biden FBI spied on 8 of my Republican Senate colleagues during its Arctic Frost investigation into 'election conspiracy' Arctic Frost later became Jack Smith's elector case against Trump

BIDEN FBI WEAPONIZATION = WORSE THAN WATERGATE https://t.co/V2JyiVlX48" (October 6, 2025).

Grassley also shared an update from his family farm at 22:15 UTC: "Grassley farm report: beans harvested +3/4 of corn left #soybeanwatch #cornwatch" (October 6, 2025).

Chuck Grassley has served as a U.S. Senator from Iowa since 1981 and is known for regularly sharing updates on both national policy issues and personal agricultural activities. The E-Verify program referenced in his first tweet is an online system operated by the Department of Homeland Security to confirm employment eligibility in the United States. The "Arctic Frost" investigation mentioned in his second tweet refers to a federal probe into alleged election-related conspiracies that was later linked to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s work regarding the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.
