This is excellent news:

Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) announced Tuesday she is running for U.S. Senate, amid uncertainty over whether Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) will seek a sixth term in 2024.

In an email to her supporters, as well as a video posted to her social media accounts, Porter touted her background as a minivan-driving single mom of three better known for her use of a whiteboard in the House than for being a “career politician.”

“I’m running for the U.S. Senate because Californians deserve a warrior fighting for them in Washington,” Porter, 49, wrote. “In the House, I’ve stood up to leaders of both parties — as both the only Democrat to oppose earmarks and as one of just a dozen Members of Congress to reject lobbyist and corporate PAC money.”

Porter made her announcement despite neither of California’s sitting senators, Democrats Feinstein and Alex Padilla, saying they plan to vacate their seats. Padilla, 49, won election in November to his first full term. Feinstein, 89, last year filed initial paperwork to run for reelection in 2024 but has not explicitly said she will seek another term.

It’s very important for a credible challenger to lay down a marker now, because not only is Feinstein leaving too much money on the table ideologically, she is transparently unfit to do the job now, let alone for six more years starting in 2025.

Meanwhile, get a load of this anti-democratic ass-kissing:

We didn’t fight King George so that political offices can be taken as aristocratic entitlements that it would be “disrespectful” to challenge. Drink your big Old Speckled Hen and get outta here.
