Senator Social Slices allows you to explore the Twitter-Space of the members of the current US Senate.
You can filter the accounts searched by birth decade/generation, zodiac sign, gender, political party, percentage of votes missed, and percentage of time that senator voted against their party.
OR, you can ignore all the filters and just search the accounts of all current US Senators on Twitter (I think a
couple of them aren’t.)
Links to search the filtered TwitterSpace appear at the bottom of the page under the “Parade them Politicians” button. Twitter has a search limit and the Senate has 100 members, so there may be multiple links if your filters encompass a lot of Senate members.
I also have not yet accounted for the two I senators; apologies to Senators Sanders and King. (They’ll still show up in search results unless you filter by party.)

You’ll need an API Key to use this tool. You can get them free from https://www.propublica.org/datastore/api/propublica-congress-api .
Please note that you can either click these links to open the page in the same tab or right-click them to open in a new window. When you right click them you tend to get fewer results. I’m not sure why and I’m trying to figure it out. If you get fewer results than you’d expect, reload the Twitter results page.
