When you are paying this kind of money, you get weird sinks. And sometimes exotic wood walls. #FridayNightZillow#SinkZillow
This is a 2,500-pound bathtub hollowed out from a boulder imported from Bali. Appalling carbon footprint, but it sure looks nice. I think that's a Buddha in the garden. #FridayNightZillow
Little Crab Key Island in the Florida Keys is just $1M. "Build a tiki hut, put in a dock, bring your boat or jet skis and escape to your own exclusive paradise. Park your houseboat and do vacation rentals. Possibilities are endless!" #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/0-…
$11M buys a New Mexico town next to an old Fort which housed Generals MacArthur and Pershing, Buffalo Soldiers, Navajo code talkers. You get 27 fully rented residential units, cafe, post office, gas station, shop, store, 44K sf. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/28…?
I wouldn't say I'm a fan of all of the decor. But there's an interesting backstory about the property and the old fort in Stars and Stripes: #FridayNightZillowstripes.com/history/2021-1…
Deal of the week might be this artsy house in New York. Just $239K for a big, megaquirky house. Includes turtle/koi pond, massage room, surprises! #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/22…?
Not sure I want to see this every time I walk into my house. #FridayNightZillow
It's a nice house, really. Love the woodwork on the cabinets in the kitchen. Park this house in DC and it's $1.5M+ #FridayNightZillow
I'm leaning yes. With a plug-in undercarriage wash feature, perhaps.
Nice house really. Ambitious outdoor water features for, checks notes, Canada. That is one heckuva sink down there too. #FridayNightZillow
Next up is a shockingly low price on a HUGE wedding/mansion combo on 7 acres. 14K+ sf for just $579K!!! We should all move there right now. New York #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/15…?
Just $269K buys you a truly gorgeous exterior of a home. I'd want to renovate the inside, but you could afford to do it at this price. No A/C listed. New Hampshire. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/17…?
That is the worst thing I've ever seen on Zillow. Well, maybe not as bad as the elephant stools. But 2nd worst.
I rather like these murals. I approve of the red laundry center. And I hope that's an *anti*-Fascism manifesto or else I'm going to have to give a thumbs down. #FridayNightZillow
It is possible to get excessive with your sink and marble combos. But the architect/designer is under pressure to make this "worth" $45M, so this is what you get. #FridayNightZillow
Hope you enjoyed this edition of #FridayNightZillow! Nearly all of the houses tonight were found by my wife and sister-in-law, as it was an extremely busy week.

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.

"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.
