RIP Senator Dianne Feinstein

Dianne Feinstein, 31-year, oldest serving, and first female Senator from California, who was also the first female mayor of San Francisco, first female president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, first female chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, first female chair of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, and first female member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has passed at age 90.

She stood for many issues, including climate change, desert protection, healthy forests, wetland restoration, outlawing CiA torture methods, border security, creation of AMBER alert system, breast cancer research stamp funding, and many others. She received many awards over the years for her accomplishments. Rest well in heaven, Dianne Feinstein.

That‘s an amazing career and life she had. Her politics were incompatible with most Dromers‘ though so this thread‘s going to be dead on arrival…

Lots of celebrity death threads here end up with no replies, some just read them and ponder on them and can't think of anything to reply about it. They're just posted here so that people here are made aware of it, and Dianne Feinstein's life was most definitely noteworthy. There's a number of other celebrities over the years that may have gotten threads here too, except that people probably didn't find out about their passings until long after the fact.

Saw several of Dianne's reply letters after signing a number of online petitions on change.org and other places.

Wasn’t she still running for another term?

A real trailblazer, made billions of dollars as a senator by selling U.S. influence, and her driver of 20 years was a CCP spy

Gavin Newsom has already found her replacement making history as the first openly lesbian Black woman to serve in congress

No, I read she announced she was going to step down and retire next year.
