Dianne Feinstein

On Friday, fresh off her humiliating defeat at the California Democratic Party convention in San Diego, where her request for an endorsement didn't even get 40% of the delegates' votes, Dianne Feinstein was allowed to give the Democratic Party's weekly address. It was on one of the few issues where she is actually in synch with 21st Century voters: guns. She began by reminding every that she became mayor of San Francisco when a deranged, right-wing politician, ex-policeman Dan White, assassinated Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone.

There was mixed news out of the California Democratic Convention in San Diego yesterday. On the one hand, the bell was loudly tolling for the Ancien Régime as a majority of state party delegates clearly told neoliberal incumbent Dianne Feinstein that it was time for her to retire. The progressive in the race, state Senate President, Kevin de León, took 1,508 votes (54%) in the endorsement process to Feinstein's 1,023 (37%).

Yesterday Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein made an unprecedented move by unilaterally releasing the entire transcript of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson’s testimony to the US Senate.

An infallible sign that a bad case is collapsing under its own weight comes when its proponents show that they have misunderstood the evidence which is supposed to underpin it.

California state Senate president Kevin de León shot this video about Californians’ shared values about a year ago, when he was realizing Californians would be leading the resistance to Trump by moving forward with the policies progressives in the legislature had run on and were already committed to. On Sunday the NY Times featured de León, now the candidate taking on conservative Democrat Dianne Feinstein for the U.S.

KDL knows exactly who's trying to undermine his campaignIt's no secret here in California that the Democratic establishment has moved ruthlessly to choke off money and support from Kevin de León's challenge to doddering conservative Democrat Dianne Feinstein. But no one's supposed to write about it.

Harvey Milk was an old friend of mine. He was serving on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors with Dianne Feinstein when he was assassinated. He always detested Feinstein-- hated her even more than Dan White, the guy who murdered him and Mayor George Moscone late in November of 1978. I never met her by I felt like I knew her through Harvey. I never voted for her as a county supervisor or as a mayor or as anything else she ever ran for. Back in these early days of her political career, DiFi was a xenophobic asshole who was making her name as an anti-Hispanic/anti-Asian asshole.

Kuehl, Solis, Hahn, Barger, Ridley-ThomasThursday the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously dissed progressive Angeleno Kevin de León by endorsing conservative Democrat Dianne Feinstein for another 6 year Senate term. You would have thought at least former congresswoman, ex-Labor Secretary Hilda Solis would have had more sense. Kathryn Barger is an actual Republican, plain and simple.
