The senior senator of my home state of California, Dianne Feinstein, has passed away at age 90. She was a trailblazer and a leading advocate for an assault weapons ban. May she rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing.

@georgetakei This is going to cause some minor temporary problems in Senate pending appointment of a Democratic replacement.
@Pjcoyle @georgetakei OK, I'm feeling a lot better about this now... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/republicans-replace-dianne-feinstein-judiciary-committee-rcna118151
@Pjcoyle @georgetakei Potentially major problems, even the end of Biden’s ability to appoint any more judges. Republicans aren’t obligated to seat her replacement. Democrats can override the filibuster but it’s unclear if Manchin and Sinema would go along, plus there’s the Menendez mess. #Feinstein
