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.

@chargrille Schiff is also the one candidate who hasn't signed the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge, and dodged when I asked him about it a few weeks ago.
Either Porter or Lee is preferable to anybody who cares about climate.

Thank you for pointing this out. I was not aware that Schiff hasn't signed the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge.
This is a firm no-go for me in terms of support. #ClimateAction is my kid's, and our children's, whole future.
@chargrille @dsacer Question though: Rep. Huffman is a big pro-environment guy, and I think he's on Team Schiff? So I wonder if there's more to Schiff's environment record than just this?
(I say this with no particular affinity for Schiff - I prefer Porter or Lee anyway - but I do respect Huffman, and he's genuinely strong on environment issues.)
@cathygellis @chargrille The differences between them are going to be fairly modest - they're all Democrats. Funding is definitely an issue though, and Schiff's willingness to take oil industry money is going to put him a lot closer to the line than the other Democrats running for Senate.
