Starting #FridayNightZillow with Grace Kelly's childhood home, "Yellowstone" in Philly. Built in 1888 for a Union general and medal of honor winner. $2.5M. 5BR, 4BA, >7300 sf zillow.com/homedetails/87…
$1.59M buys you this home in Florida. A lot going on here. Maybe this is your jam, maybe not. (Warning, don't click through if sensitive) #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/21…
Retina-singe warning. Need to stay awake because we've got a lot more houses and sinks tonight! #FridayNightZillow
It's SUPERMAN! In a nice, $925K house in Georgia. Fun fact: I used to run around in a Superman costume screaming "I'm SUPER-Man!" when I was a kid. Aunt thought it was adorable. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/12…
I like the castle-themed basement. It's a really nice house all around, actually. #FridayNightZillow
License plate-decorated tray ceiling is an interesting touch. I'll allow it. But that ceiling fan looks dated. #FridayNightZillow
It's hard to believe this house is only 5 years old. Love it. <$1.5M. Worth clicking through to read the description. South Carolina on #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/44…?
I ... actually love this wallpaper? Never thought I'd say that. #FridayNightZillow
Ever wanted a house where you could have a fancy supper every night with The Last Supper? My wife found the home for you! $1.449M in Illinois on #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/80…?
A lot going on in this be-mirrored bedroom, eye-opening bedspread, w/fireplace, TV, open to master bath. Not my style, but maybe it's yours. #FridayNightZillow
I love this place in Providence my sister-in-law found. It's a carriage house that was once part of "Barnaby House." She wonders if that's a rudimentary elevator? Just really, really cool space and the window of the week. <$1M. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homes/159-Sutt…?
Nice pool, lounges, closets that are bigger than some apartments, turrets. Check, check, check, check. #FridayNightZillow
You will never believe what's inside this $250K, ~3400 sf house, easily the bargain of the night. Missouri. It's indescribable. Just click through and be amazed! #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/35…?
Yeah, I've *NEVER* seen a church conversion like this. Gotta zoom in. #FridayNightZillow
Ending tonight with this *New Construction* home in McLean, Virginia. Says something about our new gilded age? This thing is $8.75M. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/11…
I guess when you are spending this kind of money you can just put up granite walls as your artwork? It's gorgous, but... #FridayNightZillow
Of course you have to have a party shower. It's 2022 and this house costs more than $6M. #FridayNightZillow
Just a couple of sinks the builder thinks rich people will like. #FridayNightZillow
I have never seen a stove like this before in my life. And I've seen probably tens of thousands of homes on Zillow. What is this? #FridayNightZillow
Hope you enjoyed this edition of #FridayNightZillow! See you guys next week. Let me know which one was your favorite, which one you hated, etc. Most of the homes tonight were found by my sister-in-law and my wife = Team FNZ.

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.

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:

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.
