It’s also worth noting that nobody in their 90s will ever master Twitter better than John Dingell

The man who served in the U.S. Congress longer than anyone else in history has died.

John Dingell, a Democrat who represented Michigan in the U.S. House of Representatives starting in 1955 until January 2015, died Thursday at the age of 92, his wife, Rep. Debbie Dingell, confirmed. John Dingell served for 59 years in Congress and cast more than 21,000 roll call votes. He was undefeated in 30 elections.

Debbie Dingell wrote, "It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of John David Dingell, Jr., former Michigan Congressman and longest-serving member of the United States Congress. Congressman Dingell died peacefully today at his home in Dearborn.

"He was a lion of the United States Congress and a loving son, father, husband, grandfather, and friend. He will be remembered for his decades of public service to the people of Southeast Michigan, his razor sharp wit, and a lifetime of dedication to improving the lives of all who walk this earth," she said.

“Living wild species are like a library of books still unread. Our heedless destruction of them is akin to burning that library without ever having read its books.” ― John Dingell

Representing a Michigan district for a record 59 years, he was one of the last of a group of powerful Democratic committee chairmen on Capitol Hill.

John Dingell was one of the most powerful and effective Democratic Congressman to ever live. Among other accomplishments, he helped shepherd the passage of the ACA. Will miss him and his sick Twitter burns.
