New rule: Never make your *Taxidermy Room* and your *Pool Room* the same room. For all kinds of reasons! #FridayNightZillow
Koi on the left, workout/hangout patio on the right. This is more my cup o' tea. #FridayNightZillow
The Derby House by Frank Lloyd Wright is on #FridayNightZillow. Architecture, folks. NOT a @mcmansionhell home.
$3.295M, 5BR, 3BA. A gorgeous kitchen/setting in Glendale, California. Lots of nude male art for some reason? zillow.com/homedetails/25…
Not sure what these guys are doing with this acorn. Love the lamps/furniture, but they're extra. #FridayNightZillow
I don't think that guy is real. He's also not wearing clothes. #FridayNightZillow
It's not the largest kitchen in the world, but I could cook here. Love the wood. #FridayNightZillow
Not sure who these people are. You can read a Curbed profile of the "Mayan-inspired" house when it was up for sale previously at this link: la.curbed.com/2015/5/19/9958…
Up next, a custom mansion in Hayward, California that takes "open concept" to the next level. Sweet redwood bar, enormous great room, and a lot more... Looks like a spaceship from the outside. <$4.7M #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/25…?
This master bedroom is open to the master bath. That's a shower behind the elephant. It's enormous, it's crazy, it's #FridayNightZillow-worthy!
These rooms in these old houses are usually a bit stuffy for me. And I personally hate wallpaper. But maybe it's your thing? #FridayNightZillow
FANTASY EQUESTRIAN/MODERN ESTATE. Massachusetts. Mega-expensive. $15.5M. 300 acres. *Several* homes, including a stunning elevated glass box w/views. Barns. 5 *miles* of roads and trails. It even has a covered bridge! Worth your click. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/21…
You could film Bridges of Madison County AND Ex Machina on the same estate! #FridayNightZillow
What the hell is this? Maybe a giant hair dryer for horses? #FridayNightZillow
I love this bedroom. But I'd want to make very sure it has automatic blackout shades come down so I could sleep. #FridayNightZillow
Time for some legit affordable housing.
~7,500 sf, a kitchen that could feed an army, 4 bathrooms. $100K? Yes, $100K!!! I saw we buy it, fix it up, maybe house war refugees or homeless and help them get back on their feet. NEW YORK on #FridayNightZillow! zillow.com/homedetails/12…
Not sure about yellow in my bedroom, but I'll make an exception. This house is fantastic. #FridayNightZillow
Sometimes the boring exteriors hide WTH interiors. My eyes about popped out of my head about 1/3rd of the way through the pics on this one. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/20…
Usually don't see ceiling pantings anything like this until you get to the $5-$6M range. And this house is $745K. I think the artist lives here? #FridayNightZillow
Oh, hi, cherubs. I'm just trying to go potty over here. Um. Can I have some privacy??? #FridayNightZillow
They even went arty on the billiards room ceiling. I've NEVER seen anything like this. #FridayNightZillow
Kenworthy Hall in Alabama. It's a plantation house built right before the Civil War in the "Italian Villa" style. Should probably be made into a museum? $1.1M. 13,000 sf. Pics = some serious vibes. cc: @BrendanKKirby#FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/23…?
I wonder what happened in these rooms all those years ago. #FridayNightZillow
This might be the *ultimate* fixer upper. You get a 28,000 sf MARBLE shell. Originally the Vermont Marble Company. Did I mention they built the dang thing out of MARBLE? Just $799K! #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/61…
This might be my favorite house tonight, though it's not cheap.
$3.195M gets you a thoroughly updated, 7BR/7BA fairytale Victorian mansion in Newton, Massachusetts on #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/22…
Just great. Clean, spacious, and updated without destroying the essentials of the house. Love it. #FridayNightZillow
Final home tonight is an testament to American excess. Vail, Colorado. ~$40M, or 5,517,241 hours at minimum wage. New construction. Check out the lap pool. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/16…
I hope you enjoyed this edition of #FridayNIghtZillow. Most of the houses tonight were found by my sister-in-law and my wife. Also a h/t to @ftnvalleysports for sending in the Vail insanity. Suggest reading up on the haunted Kenworthy House tomorrow so you can sleep...
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.
