FIRST on #FridayNightZillow: A fourpack of rentable, insanely romantic vacation treehouse-style cottages on Wadmalaw Island (featured in The Notebook), South Carolina, featured on Netflix.
Nice ceilings. Cute couple touches. Trails. Outdoor showers and swings. Sign me up! #FridayNightZillow
This really looks like a postcard from paradise. Enjoy a coffee and croissant with your mate. #FridayNightZillow
Former mansion of the late Kirk Douglas on #FridayNightZillow. Best part: The signatures in the garden. I spot Tony Curtis, Ronald Reagan, Edward G. Robinson, Rosalind Russell, Charlton Heston, etc. The house itself is OK. $7.495M. Beverly Hills. zillow.com/homedetails/80…
I'd have a party every weekend if I lived here. Let's party! #FridayNightZillow
If I'm spending $5M on a house, I want me some weird sinks. (Click on #SinkZillow for a rabbit hole). #FridayNightZillow
Totally weird and wonderfully affordable house in Louisville. Some style crimes here, but hey, it's Friday Night!
6BR, 5BA, 3780 sf, $420K!
I hope you like "Gummie Foundation" carved into your kitchen cabinetry and insanely high TVs! #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/90…
Beds this high seem like a hazard? I'd be deathly afraid of falling out and breaking a hip on that floor. But you get a tray ceiling. #FridayNightZillow
Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200, Go Directly to Too-High TV Jail. #FridayNightZillow
$19,500 for 6,260 square feet in Columbus, Kansas.
*IDEAL* for a horror movie set. And a little over $3 a square foot! Let's buy it and remake Blair Witch entirely inside this building. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/12…
H/t to my wife, sister-in-law and 9-year-old daughter for finding many of the homes you are enjoying tonight. We still have a lot to come, including a house formerly owned by Eminem, and that French insane paradise. #FridayNightZillow
My daughter found this spectacular 80s home.
$11.95M. 9BR, 12BA, 23,950 sf of awesomesauce. PREPARE YOUR RETINAS!
El Granada, California on #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/80…
I can't help but think people are taunting me by scraping the ceiling with these TVs. This is atrocious placement in an otherwise spectacular kitchen. Although, is that carpet????? #FridayNightZillow
Oh, yeah. Having some very serious Magnum P.I./A-Team 80s flashbacks now. I remember the A-Team once shooting down a helicopter with a machine gun and everybody walked away without a scratch. Good times. #FridayNightZillow
INSANE 5K SF PARTY MANSION for just $399K! Recent price cut! Dallas. We should drop what we are doing and pool our money right now! #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/51…
A huge mansion formerly owned by Eminem. Rochester, Michigan. 20K square feet. I mostly like it. Hope it puts a smile on your face. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/57…
This might be the nicest $135K house I've ever seen. Sweet pool, stainless steel appliances. Seems like good, solid, affordable housing? Ohio. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/40…?
It's rare I can't find something to complain about in a house, but this one is lovely. Especially the wide plank floors.
About the only thing I don't like is the gold fixtures.
Um, well, this is awkward. Sotheby's you up? Because I have some questions. #FridayNightZillow
Surprisingly price for a 9K sf New Jersey mansion on an 8+ acre estate. A SALT-y special. The buyers of this $1.375M house with a $30K annual tax bill would be prime beneficiaries of the Democrats' proposed SALT tax cut. #FridayNightZillow
It has *3* kitchens designed and built by La Cornue, the ultra-upscale French appliance maker. It's enormous, on a hill overlooking the water. It's in France. It's ~$141M. And it's on #FridayNightZillow magrey.com/sale-villa-can…

Two years ago, Congress considered banning 18-20 year-olds from buying AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles after the Uvalde massacre, and some Republicans were briefly open to doing so but ultimately blocked including a ban in the bipartisan gun bill signed by Biden.
Then-Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a law raising the age to buy guns in his state to 21 after the Parkland massacre, but then opposed doing the same for the nation as a US Senator. He told reporters it was easier to do it at the state level.
McConnell actually enacted a law one day to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. But he didn't want to talk two years ago about a proposal to raise the age for buying rifles.
Soaring cost estimates for extending Trump tax cuts set up a crucial 2025 fight:
*CBO puts tab at $4.6 Trillion over next decade
*Fight comes with US debt far higher than 2017, interest costs ballooning & Social Security cliff looming...
w/@chrisjcondon bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
*Trump wants more tax cuts, along with massive new tariffs — aka a tax on imports — that would raise consumer prices but offset at least some of the cost.
*Biden wants to extend breaks <$400K a year paired with higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
If past is prologue, Congress will again play Santa Claus. With a few exceptions, Congress has repeatedly increased spending and cut taxes since 2001.
Tonight's #FridayNightZillow is kicking off with a *House of the Year* contender. It's amazeballs! We just need to crowdfund $2.795M. We get 9,825 square feet of sheer madness on 36 acres in gorgeous Plymouth, Minnesota! I love it!!! INSANE sinks, WEIRD art, WILD ceilings, AMAZING kitchen, views, colors galore, a pond, a party shower and much, MUCH more. Several of you sent me this gem! 🧵 zillow.com/homedetails/51…
This is a Sink! #SinkZillow #FridayNightZillow
This is a Sink! #SinkZillow #FridayNightZillow #OMG

"What happens in jail stays in jail" lol. Jail-bar pillows are a nice touch. #FridayNightZillow
One of the scarier things I've seen on Zillow. Let's hope this is a prop and not an actual electric chair. #FridayNightZillow
Ozempic can be produced for less than $5 a month, a new study found, but Danish company Novo Nordisk charges Americans $968.52. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Bernie Sanders insisting the company charge Americans no more than it charges Canadians for the same drug.
Ozempic pricing page. Many people get discounts on this price, or have insurance companies (ie premiums) or taxpayers pay the bill. novopricing.com/ozempic.html
McConnell helped nix:
Roe
Campaign finance reform
Individual mandate
Medicare dental & vision
Dream Act
$35 insulin cap
Minimum wage hike
Flag burning amendment
Making Election Day a holiday
Public option
SCOTUS filibuster
Pro Act 1/6 Commission
Oil export ban
Cap&trade
Tax hikes
Vast majority of laws since 2007 have had either the acquiescence of McConnell or his outright support, with notable exceptions, like the Affordable Care Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, Obama stimulus, Biden Covid relief, Dodd-Frank, Lilly Ledbetter, USA Freedom Act, Paygo.
One way to look at McConnell is that he has often had the role of editor of Congress. Empowered by the filibuster and his conference, he had a key veto point in Washington; spending, taxing and legislating had to pass through his filter.
