Worth a listen. As usual, Pete nails it

[Quoted tweet]
Pete Buttgieg on CNN talks about picking up the phone and calling Elon Musk about misinformation he was spreading on X and about the broader misinformation problem

Pete is one of the best communicators in the Democratic Party.

Buttgieg is the kind man to the chaos. Truth and facts in a calm demeanor. He leads with kindness and respect. This is the way.

The reality is you are voting for a group of people not just one person.

Trump’s team is JD Vance, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard,
Do you notice all of them are ex-Democrats. All of them have a record for doing what they say. It’s not just words, they have been successful at the things they are telling you they are going to do.

Harris’s team is Tim Walz and who else? Right now we have no idea. But if you check the voting records of both Harris and Walz you can guess what to expect. Do you know that both of them have extremely radical voting records with communist ties? That’s not anyone telling you that the propaganda they are lying about to get your vote, that’s their recorded actions. Never have they claimed to support the ideas they are telling you during their campaign.

This guy is the real deal. I’m hoping to see him in a major role in a Harris administration.

Muck... I mean Musk is a psychopath who shouldn't be making money off of the misinformation he is spreading.

Twitter is a fun place where you can block people you don't like and live in LaLaLand 24/7.

A useful resource for serious natural disasters, NOT SO MUCH.

It would be, if people like Musk shut their mouths or told the truth, something they have a huge problem with.

Study links hurricanes to higher death rates long after storms pass

U.S. tropical cyclones, including hurricanes, indirectly cause thousands of deaths for nearly 15 years after a storm. Understanding why could help minimize future deaths from hazards fueled by climate change.

news.stanford.edu

“In any given month, people are dying earlier than they would have if the storm hadn’t hit their community,” said senior study author Solomon Hsiang, a professor of environmental social sciences at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. “A big storm will hit, and there’s all these cascades of effects where cities are rebuilding or households are displaced or social networks are broken. These cascades have serious consequences for public health.”

Hsiang and lead study author Rachel Youngestimate an average U.S. tropical cyclone indirectly causes 7,000 to 11,000 excess deaths. All told, they estimate tropical storms since 1930 have contributed to between 3.6 million and 5.2 million deaths in the U.S. – more than all deaths nationwide from motor vehicle accidents, infectious diseases, or battle deaths in wars during the same period. Official government statistics put the total death toll from these storms at about 10,000 people.
