Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has no plans to lift his hold on President Obama's two nominees to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) despite receiving a trove of the agency's documents, a spokeswoman for the senator said Monday.Grassley said he would block the nominees, Ajit Pai and Jessica Rosenworcel, until the agency provided him with records related to its review of wireless startup LightSquared.
FCC officials said they declined to cooperate with Grassley's probe because he does not serve on a committee with jurisdiction over the agency.

And if your tweet is too long to say, just be more creative with your words. OR do two tweets. That's fine too.

in 2016, he'll be 82. Hopefully this is his last run.
As for King, this may be his final term too. Since re-districting, he's in trouble. I'm vaguely hopeful.
