 Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, dies at age 90, the oldest sitting U.S. senator.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint a temporary replacement, and there is sure to be a spirited battle to succeed her.
Feinstein’s death came after a bout of shingles sidelined her for more than two months earlier this year, an absence that drew frustration from her most liberal critics and launched an unsuccessful attempt by Democrats to temporarily replace her on the Senate Judiciary Committee. When she returned to the Senate in May, she was frail and using a wheelchair, voting only occasionally.
On Friday, her Senate desk was draped in black and topped with a vase of white roses. Senators gave tearful tributes as members of the California House delegation stood in the back of the chamber and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sat in the gallery with Feinstein’s daughter, Katherine.

(I won't miss her and imo, the worst thing about this is that the Democrats won't try to find a moderate Democrat to take her place, they will go full blown liberal/progressive.)
