First up on #FridayNightZillow:

*REDWOODS CABIN OF THE GODS*

It's absolutely *NUTS*, I want it.
$675K for 4+ acres, 2 beds, a sweet kitchen and gloriously insane decor in *California*?
zillow.com/homedetails/13…
Normalish exterior fades into the Redwoods. Then you walk inside and *BAM. BAM. BAM. BAM.* #FridayNightZillow
All the modern conveniences + REDWOODS. #FridayNightZillow
This lady in the mirror is just a little creepy. #FridayNightZillow
And @ChristinLuvsSno found a frog guarding the step-up red bed thing. #FridayNightZillow
Listing calls the decor "artistic" LOL. "Kitchen boasts leathered raw edge granite counters, custom old growth redwood cabinets, custom ceiling with mood lighting & wolf range." Also, note the sweet underbed storage. #FridayNightZillow
Next up: Reasonably affordable island paradise. You won't believe it. #FridayNightZillow
Next up on #FridayNightZillow:

$500K CONNECTICUT ISLAND HOME

Paradise, found. Mouse Island. Groton. zillow.com/homedetails/2-…?
Cabin, island, wood, views, Connecticut. What's not to like? I suspect you could easily make the mortgage payment with rentals, and surprised actually it lasted until Friday. #FridayNightZillow
"Rebuilt in 1940 and stands strong and proud"
"Midway between Boston and NYC"
#FridayNightZillow
Yes, you would probably be very thankful for the federal flood insurance program methinks, and the subsidies Congress is frequently kicking in to bail it out. #FridayNightZillow
Next on #FridayNightZillow:

🔥BUDDHIST. TEMPLE. RANCH.🔥

3 homes, 45 acres, 9BR, 7BA, 6K SF

Just $1.6M in *California*??? zillow.com/homedetails/94…
Up next on #FridayNightZillow: A #HistoryZillow house that's surprisingly affordable with interesting backstory.

"Wolley Stille" is the Joseph Sharples House built mostly in 1700 & 1750; halfway between Philly & Wilmington.

$799K / 5BRs, 4BAs, 4300sf zillow.com/homedetails/80…
The property itself dates to 1682, and apparently the rock Sharpless carved his initials into is still there in its original location. #FridayNightZillow #HistoryZillow
"Its abolitionist owners provided safe harbor to escaping slaves on their way north via the Underground Railroad and tunnel leading to nearby Ridley Creek." It's on the National Register. (The tunnel has been closed up.)
#FridayNightZillow #HistoryZillow
A little more about the house here. #FridayNightZillow m.facebook.com/groups/4449222…
There are a ton of other architectural details that you can totally wig out on if you're in to that sort of thing. But I've got to move on to the rest of #FridayNightZillow shortly.
Up next on #FridayNightZillow:

Snedecker House in Congers, NY.

1747 Dutch Colonial; George Washington believed to have visited. Historical marker. The house has been updated with a sweet pool.

There are multiple buildings, including one that's a library. There's a fun hidden door; I love the main kitchen. And the setting is gorgeous. #FridayNightZillow
Yeah, I could totally live here. #FridayNightZillow
But, seriously, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? #FridayNightZillow
Really couldn't figure it out. At first I thought it was a sink? That silver thing though is just a weird, um, shaped phone. #FridayNightZillow
I promised affordable housing, and I present to you, affordable housing.
Accomac, Virginia is on #FridayNightZillow

"This house is pretty nice, dad" says the 9-year-old boy. #FridayNightZillow
Where my DC denizens at? That sweet Jenga-style house sold, but this Shenandoah getaway is still available. $799K, halfway between Massanutten ski resort and Luray Caverns. Virginia is on #FridayNightZillow

4BRs, 3BAs on *35 acres* zillow.com/homedetails/35…
Up next: A truly affordable private island. #FridayNightZillow

Impossible in this market, you say?

I think NOT!

MAINE. $339K. 1BR. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/0-…
Like, 15 of us should go in together and timeshare the heck out of this place. #FridayNightZillow
Duck Ledges Island. "There is no better place to spend the weekend in the world! The ledges surrounding the island are loaded with seals for constant entertainment." #FridayNightZillow
There IS a drawback. #FridayNightZillow
You could own this 1.5 acre island for $1,583 a month. No HOA! #FridayNightZillow Seriously we should buy it right now and enjoy it before the oceans rise up and swallow it.
"Little pink houses for you and me"
A house John Cougar Mellencamp could love
$329K. Welcome this retro Tucson home to #FridayNightZillow
zillow.com/homedetails/51…
If you don't know Pink Houses, watch and get up to speed.
More insanely affordable housing on #FridayNightZillow. A big West Virginia Victorian with a river view and a gazebo for, checks notes, $146K? Like a lot of these homes, the interior could use a little work. zillow.com/homedetails/71…
I've seen a LOT of crazy Zillow houses. But I've never seen ANYTHING like this insanity my wife found. Just look at this????????

I don't think the RV comes with it. So, BYORV.
How can you tell America is changing? When stuff like this is just casually listed on Zillow. California, um, ranch, yeah, let's go with that. $478K. 2.7 acres. Permitted for, er, you-know-what. +Bee hives, fruit trees on property. #FridayNIghtZillow zillow.com/homedetails/78…

zillow.com/homedetails/32…
Still hasn't sold. Now's your chance. Especially if you want to produce a sequel to Schitt's Creek or a horrow movie set in small town Minnesota. #FridayNightZillow
Ending #FridayNightZillow with a grand old place in New York with some history behind it.

"Available for the first time in since its construction over a century ago, The Studio was designed by Delano & Aldrich for Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney"

$4.75M
zillow.com/homedetails/Wh…
"...one of America's first female sculptors and founder of the Whitney Museum of Art. It was here that she worked and played. Converted to a home by her granddaughter in 1982. The Studio is surrounded by paintings and sculpture from leading artists of the day" #FridayNightZillow
"The main studio room serves as the nucleus of the home and is a grand 40 by 60 feet with a 20 foot ceiling and flooded with light via a massive north facing skylight"
#FridayNightZillow
Hope you enjoyed #FridayNightZillow and see you next time. If you made it this far, let me know which ones you liked/hated/loved to hate.
Addendum: A great write-up of the Vanderbilt Whitney estate
“It was there that she modeled her statues. Her assistants would lower them into the basement through a trapdoor and load them onto a pony cart that would take them down a long tunnel to the outdoor kilns for firing.”

Fantastic.

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:

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.

🔥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.
