I don't see anyone talking about the race but can we just stop for a moment and appreciate the calibur of candidates in the race?

and are all exceptionally qualified candidates.

I'd be proud to have any of them as my House member or Senator. I just hope the two that don't win stay in the House doing good work.

I'm glad that spoke out against sending cluster bombs to the , but the idea that the U.S. has "moral leadership" in the world is a sick joke. This country is morally bankrupt as far as I'm concerned.

So if it’s sexist to call for a woman in clear cognitive decline to resign her seat, what is it to try to rig the race against a Black woman to benefit your (white male) protégé?

By retiring, Feinstein can make history one more time

There is a way out for Feinstein that would also allow her to help make history. She could resign the seat now and allow Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to fulfill his promise to appoint a Black woman to succeed her.

I see a bunch of exceptionally talented Democratic CA House members will compete for Senate. One will end up a Senator. Sounds terrific. But does this mean none of them will serve in the next Congress? Sounds sub-optimal.
