👀 Bill Kristol as in Bill Kristol?

Bill Maher is the Chuck Schumer of comedy.

🚨 F*ck, 1st case of travel-related measles on Oʻahu. We're on an island, please, please get the vax for your keiki. 🙏🏽

Looks like our good Senator @schatz.bsky.social has re-emerged. No longer doing direct to camera social media hits in faux outrage beard, but he's back on the Senate floor frothing at the mouth about tariffs and Trump idiocy. If only all that passion had produced a stiffer spine when it mattered.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

Sorry, but this is exactly why incumbents here cruise to re-election. We simply can't make excuses for bad choices on their part just because they promise to protect federal spending coming into Hawai‘i. In 20 yrs @schatz.bsky.social will be Ed Case, Jr. and that's a grim thought.

Oh, the people back here in Hawai‘i are now sufficiently pissed off with your vote to enable ongoing fascism, Senator.

As he was voting Yes on the CR, @thebulwark.bsky.social posted a speech by @schatz.bsky.social at his full tilt social media fury best, railing against Trump's antics and the destruction he'd unleashed. I don't always agree with the Bulwark kids, but their skewering Schatz for his hypocrisy was 👌.

Mods over on r/Hawaii moving swiftly to protect @schatz.bsky.social from criticism for his appeasement on the CR cloture vote with typically ridiculous message board rule violation nonsense.

They say never meet your heroes. The thing is I met @schatz.bsky.social before he became a resistance hero. So maybe that saying is applicable across the board, if the skeetz timeline is to be believed. Surely our Hawai‘i senator isn't about to validate the Trump/Elon agenda & process. Right?
