  1. Besides the benefit of getting rid of the 70- and 80-somethings, it has the bigger advantage of providing an incentive for parties to nominate younger people. If your party's members in Congress/Commons or the Senate are significantly older than the other party's, then you know yours are going to get picked off automatically over time, costing you votes and possibly your majority when in power.

    No more Chuck "We wrote a strongly worded letter" Grassleys or Dianne "What state do I represent? When does my pudding get here" Feinsteins clogging up the party arteries and refusing to even look at younger party members' progressive ideas.

    A modest proposal.

  6. In one of his first moves as speaker #ProTempore, Rep Patrick #McHenry (R-NC) ordered fmr #House #speaker Nancy #Pelosi (D-CA) to “immediately” vacate her hideaway office in the Capitol by Wed (tomorrow, she’s in #California for #DianneFeinstein’s #funeral).
    
While lawmakers who are not in leadership don’t usually have offices in the Capitol, Pelosi, as former speaker, was allowed to keep one.

    Questions to progressive, left, antifascist, etc Californians (and anyone else from outside #CA,actually) : Do you trust centre-ish Newsom to pick someone who is a real progressive? Does any1 know who Butler is? What do you think?

  10. "Meet Laphonza Butler, California's new senator", #Politico

    "California Gov. Gavin Newsom has selected Laphonza Butler, a Democratic strategist and adviser to Kamala Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign, to fill the U.S. Senate seat made vacant by the death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein."

    Seems like a good choice to complete Feinstein's remaining term.

  16. Why can’t the replacement be from the community? Or the the community? Are those communities not qualified to hold a senate seat?

  17. I too was mad at #DianneFeinstein for not retiring but did not realize this 👉🏼 her close friend whom she helped make it to the Senate w/ her - Barbara Boxer --told #JoyReid last night that Dianne stayed because #FascistGOP party said they would not replace her w/ another Dem on the Judicial Committee....🔥 w/o her, none of the 100s of female & minority judges #PresidentBiden has appointed would have made it through the nom process....I did not realize! #RIPDianne....and thank you for your work!

  18. @dustcircle Another horrible, and avoidable, repeat of #RBG, #DianneFeinstein .

    Destroying your legacy because you didn't want to have an orderly transition.

  19. I come to bury the Senator, not to praise her.
    The evil that people do lives after them;
    The good is oft interred with their bones;
    So let it be with #DianneFeinstein. The noble online left
    Hath told you Feinstein was ambitious:
    If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
    And grievously hath she answer’d it.

  20. Senator Dianne Feinstein, who fought for gun control, has died at 90, voting on the last day of her life to keep the US gvt running. She knew that if she retired for health reasons, Mitch McConnell would block all President Biden’s judicial appointees.
    “If Feinstein were to resign, it would take 60 votes to replace her on the Judiciary Committee.”

  21. #DianneFeinstein played a significant role in preserving the filibuster and preventing meaningful reform of #SCOTUS when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. She was great on some things, like gun control, but I'm not sad that California is going to get a new senator.
