Sen. Dianne Feinstein is headed back to Washington on Tuesday evening after spending a week away in San Francisco while her husband was hospitalized.
The California Democrat’s return comes as Congress continues to look for a solution for keeping the government open and raising the debt limit ahead of Thursday’s federal funding deadline. Republicans blocked Democratic efforts on Monday — a vote Feinstein missed.
“Senator Feinstein is returning to Washington this evening after staying in San Francisco while her husband was hospitalized,” a Feinstein spokesperson said in a statement to POLITICO. “Her husband is now recovering at home.”
The Hill was the first to note Feinstein’s absence on Monday. A spokesperson said it was a “family medical emergency,” adding that the senator would have voted with Democrats on Monday.
“The senator is carefully following the vote situation in the Senate and will return to Washington as soon as possible,” Hill reporter Jordain Carney tweeted on Monday, relaying a message from Feinstein’s team.
Feinstein voted last on Sept. 14, before the Senate took several days off. She has missed all votes since the chamber reconvened on Sept. 20.

Did he throw his back out carrying ChiCom bribe money?
Quality Beer Mug is cogent?
Why is anything about that .....*&(^(_ news?
It should be avoided until it passes. (As in passes away.)
These FPOS made a fortune (not that they needed it) on the Kali train to nowhere.
I guess they revived her long enough to get her to DC. She hasn’t been seen for months and it has nothing to do with her husband. She’s 88 years old - politicians never retire when they should.
Sh’s alive! She’s alive!
It lives.
Are they letting visitors into hospitals again? I know that for a long time during covid, it was extremely difficult to enter a hospital to visit patients. Very lonely for those who have to sit in the room. No visitors, no outside books, and if you forget your phone charger fugetaboutit!
But of course if you’re among the elite you could eat at fancy dining and get your hair done in a salon.
Life’s partner? It’s her third husband as I recall. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Maybe the 3rd time is the charm for her.
Bingo.
With Democrats, life sentence are about 20 years.
Especially DemoncRATs, mostly they are carried out of office feet first.
She has to keep running so it’s not discovered the depth of her criminality. Same with all the other old folks on the hill.
“I guess they revived her long enough to get her to DC. She hasn’t been seen for months and it has nothing to do with her husband. She’s 88 years old - politicians never retire when they should”
Sadly either by vote or pretty Boy Newsome nomination, the old bittys replacement will be even farther to the left.
She is 88 years old. No offense to anyone as I am getting up in years too, but shouldn’t she enjoy retirement on her graft money and illegal payoffs at this point in her golden years?
Like overage TV and movie stars we didn’t realize were still alive, they refuse to get off the stage. If Hollywood Squares and the Love Boat were still on Feinstein could retire to them. But for now, sit down and shut up, Diane. Enough is enough.
It’s highly debatable, does Biden or Feinstein have less functioning brain cells?
I believe there’s a lot of truth in what you stated there for many who remain in office.
She's 88 years old. At 100 George Burns said he had outlived several of the lifespans of his young doctors who grew old telling him to stop smoking cigars.
I am not promoting smoking. Just a joke.
