"BREAKING: Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has passed away," Punchbowl's Andrew Desiderio wrote on X Friday.

Feinstein's health had been called into question several times this year. In August, the senator was briefly hospitalized after a fall.

Yesterday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, "According to court filings, the California Democrat’s ongoing health issues have necessitated more than $160,000 in medical expenses, much likely due to the high costs of home health care and any assistance with daily living after Feinstein’s March hospitalization from shingles."

This is a breaking news and developing story.
