Pelosi: if you don't endorse Feinstein (who's unable to recognize long time colleagues & forgets conversations & fundamentals of the job) continuing to stand in the way of Democratic judicial appointments indefinitely, it's obviously because you're sexist.
Meanwhile, 2/3 of the candidates for Feinstein's open Senate seat in 2024 are women - and Pelosi tripped over her own feet to endorse the only man in the race.
🤔
Barbara Lee “not clearly in a safe district”? She’s in the safest district in America. It’s 90% Democratic. You might want to rethink the reliability of whoever is spreading that talking point around.
Nancy Pelosi is playing 1-D chess with her position on Feinstein. It sacrifices all us women’s basic rights to defend one woman’s ego. You clearly did not read the SF Chronicle’s pieces in 2022 or Jane Mayer’s piece, sourced from Feinstein’s Senate colleagues and staffers.

Only very naive, very stupid, or very dishonest people would suggest that Republicans will help Democrats put anyone on the Judiciary Committee who would actually help us appoint judges.
To get a new & reliable vote for our judicial reforms (including, by the way, impeaching Clarence Thomas for his decades of corruption revealed this week), Feinstein has to retire. If not, Schumer will require 60 votes or *unanimity* to replace her.
