While her return home is encouraging, another fall is concerning after a recent slew of medical issues.

Sending healing thoughts. The way elders are abused in senior politics is disgusting. Many of these "place holders" should have retired years ago for their own health and well being.

The only reason Feinstein, 90, is still in the Senate - despite barely knowing where she is and her daughter having power-of-attorney over her life - is Pelosi fears Newsom will name @RepBarbaraLee to replace her, making it harder for Adam Schiff to beat Lee.

Pure elder abuse. https://t.co/xpua04sO7i
America, as a whole, should be very concerned about the amount of aging leaders who are not capable of meeting the expectations of their jobs, yet continue to be elected.
Anybody who can disintegrate on impact after falling down shouldn’t be able to draft laws. https://t.co/K2vLxNoSmb

Everyone insisting she is still fit to serve should be charged with elder abuse. They’re so terrified of an actual progressive replacing her that they’re gonna Weekend At Bernie’s her until they’re forced to prove she’s still breathing & has a pulse. https://t.co/1EjuazpKMo

The very scary part is the Democrats will replace her with someone even further Left and that is even worse for the country.
in any other profession it would be cruel to make her keep working https://t.co/pjYKedZWRt

A 90 year old would no longer be working in any other profession.
Sorry we need to start getting a little ageist with our government elections https://t.co/4qSnhClfPc

I'm tired of these politicians holding on to their seats when they should've retired 10-20 years ago. Like I hope she's well, but she hasn't been fit for the job for a while https://t.co/K7FAHPuM48

If you believe it is necessary to allow people to serve in federal elected roles regardless of how frail or mentally diminished they become, what's your suggestion for rules changes so that 55 million people don't instantly lose half their Senate representation for months? https://t.co/RIIQBwNkvz

It's irresponsible of her to not quit her job.

Ma'am stay home and take care of your bones and let someone capable do the job.
I know you got family you can be spending time with rn. https://t.co/i2tL6nnY5N
Why would any person who has plenty of money choose to spend the last days of their life working and not spending time doing the things they love?
Feinstein is in the hospital again, her daughter already has power of attorney, but they keep this poor woman in the Senate because of power

Democrats abuse the elderly https://t.co/f8QF7xY6FL
This happens with my grandma who is similarly aged and similarly incapable of safe cognitive function.

She is not a senator. We heal up and take it easy with no expectations from anyone. She has no one she's responsible for.
Those things do not apply to Feinstein. Shame. https://t.co/dkX4GuvJdm
Bingo! Feinstein is one of only 100 people who make major decisions for our country. This elder abuse is ridiculous and voters should demand it end.
