At age 89 Dianne Feinstein has become the poster woman for dementia. As Feinstein clings to what is familiar, her absence and stubbornness is damaging the federal judiciary, and the Democratic Party.

From the New Republic:

Feinstein’s Absence Helped Republicans Overturn a Biden Rule on Truck Pollution The Democrats control the Senate. This shouldn’t be happening.

x This includes the confirmation of Judge Wesley Hsu to the Central District of California. He will make an outstanding jurist and I’m proud to see him join the federal bench. pic.twitter.com/LZNYHuB6tU — Senator Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein) May 4, 2023

The vast majority of responses to Feinstein's tweet are scathing in their criticism of Feinstein, and her staff.

x Dear Staff: I voted for your boss every time despite her being kind of terrible in many ways. But now she’s an anchor. She’s not able to do her job. I don’t know if she has the mental capacity to make her own decisions. But she should resign now. Do the job or resign. — Brian C. Bock (@BrianCBock) May 4, 2023

x That’s bullshit. Because of your prolonged absence, the Senate is unable to issue a subpoena to Clarence Thomas. And @SenatorDurbin and @SenSchumer are too cowardly to force your resignation. Resign NOW. — Ty Webb (@Ty___Webb) May 5, 2023

x For the love of god, resign. Whoever you are posting for DiFi, think long and hard about what you are doing. She needs people she trusts to urge her to resign. — Melissa - Come save 🇺🇸 democracy🏅with me! (@MelissaLKnutson) May 4, 2023

x how about that Bill that was passed & wouldn't have been, if you were there. Or should I say.. Attn Staffers of DF, please let her know this argument falls short. SHE MUST RESIGN — l wilson (@RosebudGarden59) May 4, 2023

x RETIRE!!!!!!! U r ending in disgrace instead of with the reverence u would’ve otherwise received. Ur selfishness in this final term will now sadly be ur enduring legacy! Such a shame for u & US! — Tracy (@TweetingTracy) May 4, 2023

x I've watched Dianne bump around the Senate floor clearly lost .... but the straw for me was when she yelled at the high schoolers visiting the Capitol.



TIME.

TO.

RESIGN. — Samantha Sanderson (@SamSanderson123) May 4, 2023

x Please retire.



While judicial confirmations continue despite you, many are not getting hearings because of your absence.



And beyond the judicial nominations, California, the largest state and 5th largest economy in the world, needs two functioning senators. — Ravidrath (@Ravidrath) May 4, 2023

x I see the staff for Sen Feinstein are back tweeting on her behalf. Heads up, we're waiting for the Senator is returning ASAP or retiring ASAP tweet. Otherwise, not interested in what a staffer thinks. — 🇺🇦 Tall Latte with a Lysol Boost 🍵 (@Darlag48O) May 5, 2023

x Please tell the senator to hurry up and finish whatever insider trades she needs to finish before she resigns. — Jo Jo Ma (@joelashTX) May 4, 2023

x Ms. Feinstein:



You have been a force in the Senate for decades.

Please (for love of country, democracy, and the rule of law): fly to Sacramento, meet with @GavinNewsom, and hand-pick your successor to finish your term- giving them seniority over fellow 2024 electees. — Bob in Houston (@RobHTX78) May 5, 2023
