I think it is possible to have a kitchen stove area that's too darn big, though I suppose in reality this house is for enormous parties with lots of chefs in the kitchen? #FridayNightZillow
Room for 1,400 wine bottles if you are into hoarding. #FridayNightZillow
The mansion has gotten some media attention. You can read more about the backstory here. From what I've read, your neighbors would include Gloria Estefan and a plastic surgeon known for breast enhancements. #FridayNightZillowsun-sentinel.com/real-estate/pr…
This is a very eclectic closet. Guns, knives, nudity, iMac, fluorescent lights, chandelier, wood carvings. #FridayNightZillow
The other side of the closet has a sitting area and a door to the outside and some stained glass. #FridayNightZillow

I like the kitchen. It's bold. Works. Not for everyone, and that's OK. Something tells me Dexter would enjoy it too. #FridayNightZillow
What is going on here? A giant cozy chair just staring at ... a *giant* mirror? Animal skins. A fireplace. A back stretching machine. #FridayNightZillow
Master bedroom has sort of a leopard feeling. Very low beds in this mansion. #FridayNightZillow
For my money, this is probably the nicest house of the week. $425K gets you a modernized 1901 home in Pueblo, Colorado. Check out that classic range, fabulous porch. Sweet floors. Will be surprised if this doesn't sell in a week. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/42…
This 6BR, 7BA, <$1M dome house is 22 minutes from the U.S. Capitol. I'd want to redo the ceilings and a few other things, but I see potential. Maryland on #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/44…
One of my favorite stories of the week: Pete Davidson and Colin Jost bought an old Staten Island Ferry, and it could now become a nightclub. The price at auction this week was a CHEAP $280K. #FridayNightZillownypost.com/2022/01/21/pet…
Cray cray party palace in Wayne, Illinois. A legit movie theater with reels and everything, a party room with a fantastic ceiling, sort of a nightclub too. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/33…
Party time. Dual showers, dual tubs, separate sinks. You could fit a lot of people in here. #FridayNightZillow
This is a Bonnet Range - super-duper high end. Plus you've got an in-wall rotisserie. #FridayNightZillow
The mansion had been listed for $35M in 2019 by its owner, a super-successful director of television commercials who also is a French former sous chef, per Forbes, which explains the crazy high-end kitchen: forbes.com/sites/keithfla…

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.

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.
