We're beginning to suspect Kash Patel was a DUI hire

Just curious, in what way is Kagi unusable? I’ve heard good things from others (I’ve not tried it myself, I mostly use DDG, but it’s not great either).

Did Alito send the signal by flying his flag upside down?

When a non-scientist says w/ certainty that NIH caused the Covid19 pandemic, it is a red flag & arrogance.

His intention is to destroy science & implement Project 2025.

This is insane.

Chris Murphy: “This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years — this administration has no idea what they are doing
