Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) came under fire during now-SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation process for not being aggressive enough, with some Democrats even calling for her to step down from her post due to her age.
According to a new report from the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer, Feinstein — at the age of 87 — has been “seriously struggling” with her cognitive health for some time, affirming rumors that have been running rampant in D.C.
Mayer wrote on Thursday that insiders familiar with Feinstein’s health confirmed the rumors that the California lawmaker is suffering from cognitive decline.
According to Mayer, sources revealed that Feinstein’s short-term memory “has grown so poor that she often forgets she has been briefed on a topic, accusing her staff of failing to do so just after they have.”
Feinstein’s handling of Barrett’s confirmation process sparked such outrage that she even announced last month that she would be stepping down as ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Mayer claimed that the situation has gotten so dire that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been forced to have “serious and painful talks” with Feinstein over her reported signs of mental decline.
“Schumer had several serious and painful talks with Feinstein, according to well-informed sources. Overtures were also made to enlist the help of Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum,” Mayer claimed. “Feinstein, meanwhile, was surprised and upset by Schumer’s message.”
One Capitol Hill aide working for a different Senator told Mayer that Feintstin is “an incredibly effective human being, but there’s definitely been deterioration in the last year. She’s in a very different mode now.”

Personally I don’t care for Feinstein, but if they are trying to push her out of Congress, they best start with Biden, because he has a difficult time talking and staying on the correct subject. Yep, that’s all we need is Harris to be the first woman president and being black. Obama’s wife will get jealous.
I certainly agree with you Jan!!
Biden, Feinstein, Pelosi, Waters Kerry, Schumer, Mueller are just several politicians who should have left a long time ago! All need removed and many sent to Gitmo for treason! Send them now, include Obama and Clinton’s. There are many more that need to be added!
All of these being removed and or prosecuted would eliminate protection of many others of the swamp who also need to be removed from office and perhaps prosecuted as well in order to restore constitutional order to the Republic.
Well, if they remove Diane for her age, let’s work on removing Pelosi too.
Can anyone spell “term limits”? Problem solved.
About damn time Diane wasn’t worth a poop in the late 70s and early 80s and if they can do it to her then they can do it to Pelosi, Biden or I think WE THE PEOPLE should purpose TERM LIMITS and get rid of all these lifers who have been feeding off us and doing nothing.
why step down? hang in there like Ginberg. It’s pathetic! what else do they have besides power , money, and fame? They can take them all to their grave to enjoy. Vanity is vanity.
THIS IS WHY WE NEED TERM LIMITS. SOMEONE THIS OLD SHOULD NOT BE IN HER POSITION..
