The funniest thing to me about Gavin trolling MAGA is that apparently nobody in MAGA has heard of satire. And that, my friends, is truly hilarious.

@joyklaprade I’ve just gotten to the point that I think it’s hilarious that men are out there writing books about how they’re so bad at sex, their wives must be guilt-tripped into it under threat of hell.

I knew Doug Wilson's book on marriage was bad, but didn't realize HOW bad. I've been flipping through it to write about later this week. It's worse than I remembered. There are so many awful quotes it's hard to pick just a few: "God has created us as male & female in such a 1/

I'm confused about the 'Canada as 51st state' thing because, if they succeeded, they'd be adding 40million new citizens who overwhelmingly hate Trump and hate MAGA, flipping the House and Senate. Right?

@michael___wave Who do you think has been involved in more fights and physical confrontations in their lives? The average man, or the average woman?

@esjesjesj They’ll claim it’s “forest management,” but the reality is, fires are worse when mature trees are cut down because the forest can’t maintain the same levels of moisture, and it increases wind strength. Wind is a huge danger in wildfire. Dense forests stop wind and keep soil damp.

@p_nathan I used to teach English 101/102 and I’d for sure offer free remedial logic and composition classes, with ending essay competitions in which you could win $10,000. Structured in-person with zero phones allowed.

@khbotkin I've always thought that funding a wholly free university absolutely locked into academics would be what I would do as a billionaire.

All I know is, if I woke up tomorrow with multiple billion dollars, I’d spend it in a year on initiatives for small business, literary excellence, wilderness conservation, and democracy. In short, try to reverse the damage of a decade of social media billionaires.

@JKLund_Official @electricfutures @DOGE Maybe they’re basing it on $125k per employee for 4 years? Are they’re including benefits like retirement contributions matching, health insurance… But somehow, I doubt it.

After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in. Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then. 🧵

It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen.

@electricfutures @DOGE Good thread. I also noticed that the numbers done make sense. How does one get 37.5 billion in savings from 75,000 buyouts? $500k per govt employee?????

@khbotkin @christianduggan @ScottAdamsSays Yeah that’s why most republican voters hate their elected leadership. Not having your money stolen isn’t exactly what I’d call a giveaway.

The Republican plan is to create trillions MORE debt? Can someone explain this in a way that makes sense?

House GOP finally unveils budget plan for Trump’s agenda with space for at least $4.5T in tax cuts | Ryan King, New York Post House Republicans released their long-awaited budget resolution Wednesday, a major step in starting to craft legislation to implement President Trump’s agenda — which will allow up to $4.5 trillion to be added to the deficit via tax cuts and look to cut $2 trillion in spending over the next decade. The budget resolution also calls for a $4 trillion increase in the debt limit and up to $300 billion in additional spending for border security and national defense. House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) is planning to mark up the budget resolution Thursday, after Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) attempted to leapfrog the House with a hearing on his alternative budget resolution Wednesday. A budget resolution is needed to unlock the Senate reconciliation process and enable Republicans to sidestep the 60-vote legislative filibuster. The GOP intends to use the reconciliation process to wrangle through Trump’s sweeping agenda for tax cuts, immigration crackdowns, defense modernization, energy permitting reform and more. But given the narrow Republican margin in the lower chamber, lawmakers have struggled to produce a specific plan — until now. The budget resolution gives top committees leeway to make spending cuts, including $230 billion from the Committee on Agriculture, $330 billion from the Committee on Education & the Workforce, $880 billion from the Committee on Energy and Commerce and $50 billion from the Oversight Committee. The $300 billion increase for military and border security in the budget plan includes $100 billion for the Armed Services Committee to earmark, $110 billion for the Judiciary Committee to give out and $90 billion for the Homeland Security Committee to distribute. In order to commence the reconciliation process, the budget resolution needs to pass Congress. The House is set to adjourn on Thursday and will be in recess next week. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) previously suggested he would not keep the lower chamber in session to force the resolution through. Republicans have little room for error in the House, with their majority set to slip to one seat for the next several weeks until special elections are held to fill vacancies. Frustrated by the slow pace of the House, Senate Republicans have almost universally preferred to split Trump’s agenda package into two different bills — with one covering the border, defense and energy and another dealing with taxes. That would enable Republicans to get an early win and alleviate concerns about a lack of resources for border security. Hardliners in the House, such as members of the conservative Freedom Caucus, also prefer a two-track approach. Graham’s plan — which was rolled out last week — did just that, with about $175 billion more for border security and $150 billion for added military spending over the next 10 years. Under the Constitution, the House has to act first on major tax changes, so if the Senate took the lead, it would have to be a two-bill approach. There are limited disagreements among Republicans on the first tranche of the agenda package, but the tax component has proven more contentious. House GOP leadership has argued that their task would become immensely more challenging if the bill was split in two because they’d have a lot less leverage to extract concessions from their members. At times, Trump has expressed interest in “one big, beautiful bill” but at other times, he’s said something to the effect of “Whether it’s one bill, two bills, I don’t care.” Read more: nypost.com/2025/02/12/us-…
