Dianne Feinstein, the California senator who served for more than three decades and was a trailblazer for women in US politics, has died aged 90.

Feinstein was the oldest member of the US Senate and voted as recently as Thursday.

Yet another Senator who had been in office for the entirety of my adult life. She should have spent her final years surrounded by her loved ones at home instead of being wheeled around Washington like a macabre science experiment. Shame on the people who promote this elder abuse.
