It’s time for Newsom to stop being coy, and pressure Diane to step aside.

Well, surprise surprise, NO surprise on all fronts. R’s over grabbing power and obstructing and D’s too slow and inefficient with the power legally available. Mike, Feinstein 89 gets me wondering on a Q of years ago, if RBG fighting her health issues had stepped down while President Obama in WH, Mitch McC would’ve blocked her replacement anyway, right ?? Plain curious.

This is exactly why we need truth tellers like Katie Porter in the Senate. She’ll lose her chance to be there if Newsom is allowed to appoint our next senator, I’m hoping that Democrats will insist that He only appoint a caretaker who will not be running in 2024. Most of the Democratic senators are institutionalist. We need Senator Jamaal Bowman and Senator Katie Porter to shake the dust off that institution thank goodness fetterman is there.

As a resident of California, I emailed Senator Feinstein's office and ask for her resignation. I also explained how I had Shingles a few years ago and how painful it was and how long it took me to recover.

This is the chronic D problem. They can’t just go to her, explain the situation and pressure her to resign now. Sort of like Goldwater to Nixon in Watergate, but still for the good of CA and the country.

Can't Diane Feinstein just retire?

I've seen pictures of her and they are pitiful. Aging is not always pretty and yes we need to show some compassion but sometimes the elderly aren't thinking clearly. There needs to be an adult in the room that she knows and trusts to lead her to make the decision to step down.

Knife to a gunfight Dems just have forgotten with whom they are dealing with. Fuck kumbahyah and start stabbing those fascist SOB's. From robbing Obama to pledging fealty to a so-called mob boss, repugnants are asking to be bloodied in the ring but Dems are woefully lacking in a young Mike Tyson. BTW, what was left of the supremacist court's reputation is the cheerleaders team sweater left under the bleachers...
