Thank you, Senator, for your act of self-sacrifice which made the country a safer place. For no greater love has one for another than to give one's life to save them.
Since you couldn't quit $#@!ing things up cold turkey any other way...

Keep in mind, now Gavin Gruesome gets to appoint her successor.
Whoever it is, I can guarantee they will be worse than Dianne Frankenstien.
My guess: pedoqueeer CA state senator Scott Wiener.

The Squad gets a Senator...
Barbara Lee Secures Major Progressive Endorsements
The California Senate candidate has received the backing of Our Revolution, as top Congressional Progressive Caucus leaders argue that her advocacy for peace and justice distinguishes her as a candidate.
“The Democratic establishment wasn’t with us and there were very few members of Congress who were willing to stand with the workers back in 2015,” recalls Geevarghese. “Bernie Sanders was there. And, of course, Barbara Lee.”
That’s one of the reasons Geevarghese, who now serves as executive director of Our Revolution, the national grassroots organization formed by Sanders backers after the 2016 presidential campaign, is so enthusiastic about her candidacy for California’s open US Senate seat. “At the end of the day,” Geevarghese says, “Barbara Lee is the movement candidate.”

The endorsement from Our Revolution will be rolled out at a town hall meeting Tuesday evening, featuring former Congressional Progressive Caucus cochairs Mark Pocan and Keith Ellison; Massachusetts Representative Ayanna Pressley, a member of the Squad who has worked closely with Lee on abortion rights issues;

"Newsom has pledged to appoint a Black woman if Feinstein steps down before the end of her term, and Khanna is backing a prominent contender, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), who has already declared her candidacy for the position."

Although Lee is the obvious choice, she is very anti-war. She voted against the AUMF and for removing all troops from Syria.
She also used to chum it up with Louis Farrakhan. Even though she tweeted against him, she is not trusted as part of the club.

Internet rumor..... Newsom appoints Kamala Harris to the Senate seat, Biden then appoints Newsome as VP. Biden steps down before end of term. Newsom runs for President as a sitting POTUS.

I don't think Newsom will appoint Lee because she is anti-war, and there are suspicions she has "anti-Semitic" thoughts.
The conspiracy theory involving placing Newsom into the VP role as Biden's replacement can be accomplished two ways.
Feinstein is on record saying she prefers Alex Padilla as her replacement. Although this would contradict Newsom's pledge (2021) to appoint a black woman, what would happen is Harris would take back Padilla's vacant seat (her own old seat), in exchange for leadership role after Schumer retires, and Padilla moves into Feinstein's.
So, there's two ways to make Kamala Senate leader and get Newsom into VP. Most likely would be satisfying Feinstein's wish by appointing Padilla, which opens up Harris to her old seat instead of going to Feinstein's. They just need Harris and Biden's cooperation.

I'd be happy with a Barbara Lee pick out of all the people that have a chance of being chosen. Great on foreign policy and some civil liberty issues like drug policy reform and opposing the Patriot Act. I know Ron has worked with her on foreign policy stuff.

Does this mean the intern that was making Feinstein's voting decisions for her techically lost her seat in office as well?
Just say "aye"

Apparently she does support aid to Ukraine, but she's well known for being one of the most antiwar members of Congress, including her vote against the 2001 AUMF which she took a lot of heat for at the time (even Ron voted for it). So she's almost certainly better than anyone else Newsom would consider appointing.
And yes, she is great on cannabis reform too which we need more of in the Senate where things are currently stalled.
