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...
*MCCONNELL: I CANNOT AND WILL NOT SUPPORT JUDGE JACKSON
The last time Mitch McConnell voted for a Democratic nominee to the Supreme Court was in 1994 for Stephen Breyer, the same justice Ketanji Brown Jackson clerked for and has been nominated to replace.
(McConnell voted against Kagan and Sotomayor and blocked a vote on Merrick Garland.) senate.gov/legislative/no…
Reminder: Republicans need to show up to the vote or there won't be a quorum. No quorum = no vote = no going to the Senate floor unless you have 60 votes or 50+VP+☢️. (See Sarah Bloom Raskin/Banking.)
Democrats boycotted vote on Barrett, so then-Chairman Lindsey Graham nuked the *committee's* special quorum rule. But the *Senate's* majority-quorum rule is different, and can't be changed in committee.
R senators have been saying they won't do this, fwiw.
Pat Toomey rallies Republicans against what he calls "mission creep" at the Fed, including a push by Democrats to weigh in with new regulations on climate risk. "I don’t think there should be a Politburo that gets to allocate capital in America." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Toomey has opposed Sarah Bloom Raskin over her previous calls for regulators to act on climate and complained the Fed has gotten behind the curve on inflation while wading into areas like racial justice and education policy not in their purview.
Toomey's now leading a blockade of Raskin in a dispute about the answers he says the Senate should be able to get from the Fed and Raskin about her role in Colorado firm Reserve Trust getting a master account at the Fed.
Lynching is about to become a federal crime. One senator partially responsible for preventing it from happening in the previous century: Richard Russell, whose name adorns the Senate’s most storied office building.
Chuck Schumer had proposed renaming the building after John McCain instead of Richard Russell, an arch-segregationist and opponent of civil rights. Some senior Republicans didn’t like the idea.
Last week Lindsey Graham told me he now wants to rename the Capitol Visitor Center for John McCain and John Lewis, the late lawmaker and civil rights icon.
