Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican representing Iowa and the longest-serving Republican in the U.S. Senate, recently shared updates on his activities and concerns via social media posts.

On November 13, 2025, Grassley highlighted a public meeting with constituents: "Q&A at Country Maid in West Bend 29ppl issues: govt shutdown my time in the statehouse filibuster bipartisanship workforce health care public safety housing etc #99countymeetings https://t.co/UyQkcRmfB0". The post summarized topics discussed during the event, including government shutdowns, legislative procedures such as the filibuster, bipartisanship, workforce challenges, healthcare, public safety, and housing.

Later that evening on November 14, 2025, Grassley addressed recent developments regarding Department of Justice actions: "New records frm Bondi/Patel validate concerns whistleblowers raised w me yrs ago: partisan DOJ officials stopped FBI frm investigating Clinton's funding of phony Steele Dossier These same officials went full steam ahead on Arctic Frost Another example of POLITICAL DECISION MAKING". In this statement, he alleged that partisan officials within the Department of Justice prevented an FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s funding of what he called a "phony Steele Dossier," while prioritizing another case referred to as "Arctic Frost." Grassley cited whistleblower claims previously brought to his attention as being validated by new records from individuals named Bondi and Patel.

Grassley also marked a milestone in his longstanding tradition of visiting every county in Iowa annually. On November 14, 2025 he wrote: "Finished my 99th county of 2025 so what would u expect????? U kno what Choc malt from DQ celebrating 45 yrs of #99countymeetings https://t.co/whKKI3MvjC".

Grassley's annual tour across all 99 Iowa counties has been a fixture throughout his career. This practice began more than four decades ago as part of his commitment to constituent outreach and transparency.
