Rare Thursday Night #HauntedZillow:
The House from The Conjuring is for sale. $1.2M. Scary as heck. Dolls😱. Fair warning before you click through or scroll down.
zillow.com/homedetails/16…
Yes, Dolls are scary. Especially these dolls. #HauntedZillow
Apparently the folks who live here are "paranormal investigators" and have turned the house into a business. I do know I have no interest in living there and $1.2M seems a little stiff? It does come with 8 acres in Rhode Island though. #HauntedZillow.

Here's a 2019 article in the Providence Journal about the couple providencejournal.com/news/20190714/…
Apparently they are trying to sell it for nearly 3X what they bought it for. #Inflation #HauntedZillow turnto10.com/news/local/con…
Looks like they even got a writeup in the WSJ. Nothing like claiming your house is haunted for some free real estate publicity, I guess? #HauntedZillow wsj.com/articles/the-c…

Yesterday, btw, a good example of just how many other rules — and especially the unanimous consent rule — matter in the Senate. The 60-vote rule has been gone for almost a decade now on noms, but a single senator can still hold up most for months for any reason.
Harry Reid's nuclear option kept in place the filibuster for noms, but reduced the cloture threshold to a simple majority. Common now for many, many noms now to require a cloture vote, then debate, then final passage, etc.
Both parties have since slow-walked noms as leverage on other things. McConnell even used a tactical nuke to lower the post-cloture time thresholds after a previous bipartisan deal expired.

Grassley wouldn't spill the beans when I asked him this week that it seemed like he must be running given that fundraising email I got from his wife. (He didn't seem to be aware of the fundraising email. He said he'd let me know by Nov. 1.)
The last thing I saw late last night as the Senate finished voting was Grassley literally running by me to the exit.
People sometimes forget Grassley had a decades long political career before his 40+ years in the Senate:

🔥NEW: Manchin tells me Medicare's finances should be shored up before expanding benefits; he continues to back, however, having Medicare negotiate lower drug prices bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Manchin's comments again put him at odds with Bernie Sanders, who has championed an expansion of Medicare benefits for dental, vision and hearing.
Manchin also told reporters he wants work requirements and means testing for "everything." @jordainc had asked if he still supports work requirements for child tax credit (an issue also putting him at odds with Dems)...

One problem for the Democrats: Moderates voted for the budget resolution while saying they didn't actually support the numbers in it.
Budget resolutions don't do anything on their own. When you have two senators saying, yeah, those numbers I just voted to adopt — not gonna do it — you really are still at square one: How big is this going to be again? What about the deficit number? Etc.
The key moment for Senate Rs was when Toomey and Corker agreed on a $1.5T deficit instruction in 2017. Everybody basically knew from that point that's where they were headed, though Corker talked up having no deficits until the end, when he voted aye.

NEW: Banking Chairman Sherrod Brown tells me Powell's comments on the next vice chairman of supervision taking the lead on regulation is "an encouraging statement"
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Brown has had his differences with Powell on climate and regulation, but has also praised him for empowering Lael Brainard on the Community Reinvestment Act.

Neither Brown nor Warren has endorsed Powell for another term.

Tester told me earlier he talked up Powell renom to Klain
The broader context here is Bloomberg has reported WH considering renominating Powell with Brainard as VCS. Warren, however, has noted that the chair has the power to set the agenda; Fed chairs can effectively veto what they don't like and control the staff to boot.

If you think the debt limit is a problem, don't forget the Democrats also created a paygo palooza stew for themselves they have yet to resolve too! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Fun fact: You can't easily turn off paygo via reconciliation.
Which means Rs need to go along with paygo turnoff for Dems big spending plans or else stuff happens
