Feinstein's Health Crisis Goes Back Farther than We Knew
Staff for the high-ranking Democrat have for years had a system to keep her from walking the halls of Congress alone, sources tell Rolling Stone

Oh, but it gets better!
A familiar pattern would emerge: Feinstein would make an unexpected stance on a bill or policy position, only for her staff to quickly follow up by email to correct the record. It got to the point where reporters would pause before rushing to publish an otherwise-newsworthy declaration because of the inevitability of staff reversing her statement.

Uh, huh. This sounds familiar.

Purley said Feinstein's office began noticeably restructuring around her mental limitations in 2019. He said that year formerly large staff meetings were cut down to only senior staff and people working on legislative issues. "Junior staff were making jokes about her cognitive decline. Interns were noticing it," he said.

...

In a healthier political system, an incapacitated person may be gently removed from a role crucial to the governance of the nation. That's harder to do in Washington, DC, which is designed to be run by the elderly.
