    Feinstein's defenders suggest she's not the only impaired lawmaker in congress. Which is true but also really bad.https://twitter.com/PhilipWegmann/status/1514544319834828801 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Philip Melanchthon WegmannVerified account @PhilipWegmann
    Remarkable: Four US Senators, and three former Feinstein staffers say that it appears Feinstein "can no longer fulfill her job duties without her staff doing much of the work required to represent the nearly 40 million people of California." https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/dianne-feinstein-senate-17079487.php …

        I mean this is peak Dem establishment right here: a cynical deployment of egalitarian rhetoric (in this case feminism) in defense of gerontocracy. Which gerontocracy is in fact bad for feminism since it blocks rise of younger female leaders.pic.twitter.com/UmVCw2s3xl

        Are people really using that argument to defend her?

        if she suddenly pivoted to endorsing Medicare 4 all or whatever then magically there would be an instant agreement to urge her on out but no because she's present enough to do terrible Lindsay-hugging crap she's okay enough

        If she did that she’d be out of office in less than a day.

        Using Chuck Grassley to defend Feinstein isn’t exactly a strong argument.

        Also laughable to suggest any of them can do their job without massive support doing the actual work for them. I assume most couldn’t reply to an email
