This Senator's Clap Back Fully Gagged An MSNBC Anchor, And The Clip Is Going Viral

anchor Andrea Mitchell was fully gagged when New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich responded to her age question.

"This country having an adult in the White House in 2025 is the only thing that matters," Senator Heinrich says.

"So, the age issue is off the table?" she asks back.

"For our party," he claps back.

And then she just sat there stunned.

Occam's razor (or Ockham's razor) is a principle from philosophy. Suppose an event has two possible explanations. The explanation that requires the fewest assumptions is usually correct. Another way of saying it is that the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation.

"Boutique tax credits" is a wonderfully named concept that explains so much contemporary dysfunction. It refers to public spending hiding in the tax code, spending that escapes much of the democratic process, favors both the wealthy and private service providers, and undercuts the ability to create publicly run services that target a much broader socioeconomic base.

Vibrio bacteria in #seafood: increased risk due to climate change and antimicrobial resistance

"The prevalence of Vibrio in seafood is expected to increase both globally and in Europe because of #ClimateChange, especially in low-salinity or brackish waters, according to EFSA’s latest assessment. Additionally, resistance to last-resort #antibiotics is increasingly found in some Vibrio species."

"Vibrio is a type of bacteria that can enter the human body after eating “uncooked or undercooked shellfish" or through an open wound in brackish water (the water found in areas where rivers meet the sea).

And while right now the bacteria is rare, the medical journal StatPearls noted that V. vulnificus “has the highest number of seafood-related deaths in the United States.” "

So it's back to eating shellfish in colder months only.

Seafood Is Getting Riskier to Eat Due to Climate Change, According to Science

Kevin Leecaster 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

It would be better if China's deployment of record levels of renewable energy capacity were put into context on why they're doing it.

They've not done anything towards lowering their emissions because they just keep increasing the amount of energy they're using to build three quarters of all the consumer products purchased on the planet.

Sure they're building massive solar farms, but they also imported the most coal than ever last month too.
