The left had Feinstein and the right has McConnell. Senate shouldn't be a nursing home.

Median age of the senate is 64. Grassley is over 90. Sanders, McConnell, Risch and King are all over 80 and have been Senators for several terms. Sanders, especially, needs to find a successor in Vermont.

Boomers are destroying our future. They’re past retirement age yet pack elected officials’ offices

Senators Grassley, Sanders, McConnell, and King are NOT Boomers, they're Silent Gen. For comparison- Harris, Obama, Mark Kelly, Klobuchar, and Warren are Boomers. And the median age for the House is 57, Gen X.
