Senator Feinstein has passed away. This makes me so sad, she should have spent her final weeks with her family, and resting Yes. I wish she hadn't run for this last term and just enjoyed her time with her family; that she had been truly taken care of instead of what her life had been this last little while. She deserved more than that. |

Sweetjane I think California law says Newsom gets to appoint a replacement. What that means the GQP leadership does before the replacement is sworn in is anybody's guess. I trust them about as much as I trust a rusty nail to not give tetanus.

I’m going to hell because my immediate thought was “OK now do Mitch McConnell”

Diane Feinstein RIP What happens now? If Gavin Newsom has any common sense, he will appoint someone with the understanding that they are an interim Senator while the (already active) primary plays out |

I’m going to hell because my immediate thought was “OK now do Mitch McConnell” When Breaking News interrupted the Today Show I was really hoping it was DT who had died. 🤷🏼♀️ |

DiFi news broke between turning off my tv in disgust of Morning joe talking about how there are ‘good’ republicans in the house and getting in my car.
I was very confused as to why Claire was speaking in past tense about her

If Gavin Newsom has any common sense, he will appoint someone with the understanding that they are an interim Senator while the (already active) primary plays out This is what he has said he will do. But there is also that promise he made about appointing a Black woman. I don’t envy him right now. |

Gosh I just am a mess of mixed feelings over Senator Feinstein. She’s been my elected representative for most of my adult life. And she has such a strong history in this area (mayor of SF). I admire so much about what she did in her career. The last few years (decade?) have been sad to watch. It overshadows a lot which was always my fear. I still don’t fully understand her motivations and those of people around her. I hope she gets the honors that she deserves.

And then, "I would NOT want to be Gavin right now." |

Anyone seen guesses how long the shutdown will last? A couple of weeks at this point?

Fuck.
Guys they are having to do surgery on my Gran. She just called me to basically say goodbye.
Thank you for all the hugs, no need to post more. I'll consider a loovetit a hug so I don't ambush the thread.
