The Senate unanimously passed a resolution late Wednesday formalizing business attire as the proper dress code while on the floor of the chamber following bipartisan backlash, after Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., quietly relaxed dress requirements last week that allowed Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., to continue to wear hooded sweatshirts and gym shorts.

The bipartisan bill by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, requires that members abide by a dress when on the Senate floor. 

The new written rules include a coat, tie, and slacks for men. The resolution does not detail dress codes for women members.

In his remarks Wednesday Schumer said that an official dress code is "the right path forward."

"Though we’ve never had an official dress code, the events over the past week have made us all feel as though formalizing one is the right path forward," Schumer said. "I deeply appreciate Senator Fetterman working with me to come to an agreement that we all find acceptable, and of course I appreciate Sen. Manchin and Sen. Romney's leadership on this issue."

Following the vote, Fetterman's office released a brief statement that included a viral meme photograph of the actor Kevin James sheepishly shrugging.

FETTERMAN BLASTED BY CONSERVATIVES AFTER SENATE DROPS DRESS CODE: ‘STOP LOWERING THE BAR!’

The resolution came after considerable backlash after Schumer dropped the dress code for senators on Sept. 17. 

Many have referred to it as the "Fetterman Rule" given Fetterman, who has routinely been seen around the Capitol building while wearing gym shorts and his trademark hoodie.

A New York City college professor who threatened a reporter with a machete in May, appears to have a new gig as an adjunct professor at another school.

The Cooper Union School of Art, which is a private school in Manhattan, lists Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, as an adjunct professor who is teaching a 3-credit sculpture class during the fall semester.

Officials at the school did not immediately respond to inquiries regarding Rodriguez’s hiring.

In May, Rodriguez was seen on video lunging out of her apartment and into the hallway where she held a machete to veteran New York Post reporter Reuven Fenton’s throat.

Fenton had knocked on her door for comment after Rodriguez, a professor at the school, lashed out at Hunter College students manning a table with anti-abortion materials, blasting the content as ‘f- - -ing propaganda" before tossing items from the display.

Rodriguez also followed the journalist to the street, NYPD said, and chased him with a machete.

Rodriguez turned herself into police on May 25 after allegedly threatening to chop up the reporter with a machete.

She was charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, second-degree menacing and menacing.

But Rodriguez insisted she was the real victim and said the entire incident "has taken a toll" on her mental health.

She has since been fired from Hunter College.

Rodriguez is also embroiled in a federal lawsuit with the NYPD, which she accused of "executing a brutal trap for and assault on the protesters" during a Black Lives Matter protest.

The 2021 civil lawsuit stems from a BLM protest in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx on June 4, 2020, in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder by then-Minneapolis police officers.

At the time, NYC had an 8 p.m. curfew in place. At 7:45 p.m., Rodriguez claimed the NYPD purposefully trapped them and would not let the protestors disperse before the curfew.

"At around 8 p.m., the police then began a brutal physical assault on the protesters, beating them with fists, batons and bicycles; deploying pepper spray; and employing similar violence," the federal lawsuit says. 

About 250 people were allegedly arrested that night, including Rodriguez, and the NYPD allegedly held them in tight quarters during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the lawsuit. 

The NYPD denied the accusations in court filings last March. The case continues to wind its way through the judicial system.
