Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) was reportedly hospitalized after taking a fall Tuesday in San Francisco.

Her condition is not known, but she subsequently returned home by Tuesday evening, TMZ reported.

Feinstein, 90, was hospitalized earlier this year after a bout with the shingles and was absent from the Senate for about three months before returning in May. She is the oldest lawmaker in either chamber of Congress.

At times, Feinstein has appeared confused during Senate proceedings, drawing scrutiny from observers. At one point during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing last month, an aide and one of her colleagues had to prompt her to vote “aye” on the annual defense spending bill.

Feinstein has decided not to vie for reelection in the upper chamber and her term is set to end at the start of 2025.

The Post contacted a Feinstein representative for comment.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Yes.  Please retire her.

I thought she pretty much was confined to a wheelchair.

They'll figure out a way for her to continue to vote.

They'll figure out a way for her to continue to vote. 

If they were going to do that, they would have done so during her lengthy 'shingles' absence.

I see what you did there...

[Wingnut]

I heard she is hospice care.  She's not long for this earth.

I heard she is hospice care.  She's not long for this earth.

And she won't give up that power till her last breath...

Zero sympathy for those types.

@Polly Ticks

EXACTLY!

I started to post "I hope she dies!",but then I realized it wouldn't keep her from voting.

Home... as in "San Francisco".

Let's hope that she remains there for a good while, because there's no "voting by proxy" in the Senate.

What this means in a practical sense is that so long as she remains in California, there is one less DCommunist vote available in the Senate.

That's what we WANT.
