In a major development, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, 90, has given power to her daughter, Katherine Feinstein. The legal maneuver comes amid whispers about the senator’s fitness for office due to her advanced age.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Dianne Feinstein just ceded power to her daughter because she’s too mentally incapacitated to manage her own affairs, but she’s still California’s senior senator.
This is SHIT.
Get out of the office, Dianne!

Feinstein, a veteran of the Democratic Party and one of the longest-serving members of Congress, has represented California since 1992. Her recent decision sparked a conversation about age, health and eligibility to serve.
It was Katherine, a retired judge from San Francisco, who confirmed her mother’s decision. The power of attorney will allow Katherine to manage her mother’s financial affairs and make legal decisions on her behalf when necessary.
Over the past few years, Feinstein’s age has been a controversial topic. There have been numerous calls from within his party, particularly from younger and more progressive members, for him to step aside. These calls for his retirement have gained momentum due to gaffes and repetitions during key committee hearings.

Although Feinstein has held onto her seat and resisted pressure to resign, this new development may reignite those discussions. His current term runs until 2024, but the decision to step down raises questions about his ability to continue to serve effectively.
While concerns about Feinstein’s age and competence are valid, critics argue that this focus on age overlooks the wealth of experience and wisdom that older politicians can bring to the table.
Regardless of her future in Congress, Feinstein’s decision to hand over power to her daughter is an important move, one that could set a precedent for other aging politicians.
Senator Feinstein’s office has yet to issue an official statement regarding the recent change. So the scene remains fluid, with questions swirling about the veteran senator’s future political role.
