TAHOE MASTERPIECE — Leading #FridayNightZillow this week. We hope you enjoy our family's weekly thread of crazy homes. This one's $64.5M, 16K sf & 5 acres of paradise found. "Crystal Pointe." It's really great. 1/ zillow.com/homedetails/30…?
Seriously, this place is fantastic. A lot of rich people's houses are super tacky, but I like *most* of this one. And the setting is exquisite. #FridayNightZillow
If you have a $64.9M house, it must have a crazy sink. These are the rules of rich people's houses. This is a sink. And this is #FridayNightZillow#SinkZillow

This might be the best deal of the week? $500K buys you TWO historic homes in Saint Joseph, Missouri. Combined 9BR/6BA, 7800sf. Includes the "Parry-Motter mansion." #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/21…
I'd change some of the decor but house looks to be in good shape; these houses would be maybe 7-10X the price if in DC? #FridayNightZillow

I don't know about you, but I could definitely spend a week here off the grid and away from all the meshuggeneh goings on in the world. #FridayNightZillow
At the end of the hall of mirrors is this. I have questions. Also, on behalf of the #FridayNightZillow team, thank you to the crazy rich people of the world for doing so much weird stuff with your homes. I needed this.
Padded room with views, couches. Party pad? Sheikh vibes. #FridayNightZillow
Wife calls this the James Bond Villain Office. I agree. #FridayNightZillow
Earthship. HARPERS FERRY. Need I say more? Let's just move here right now and enjoy the good life. $750K. Play that John Denver song. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/20…?
Whiskey bar in back, nightmare fuel on the wall. #FridayNightZillow. Hope you enjoyed the diversion this week. Big thanks to my wife and sister-in-law for finding almost all of the houses this week. (I've been super busy for reasons). See y'all next week.

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:
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.
Could be a long night. Lindsey Graham said they are going to request voice votes individually on all 376 pending military nominations being blocked by Tuberville. Tuberville is blocking every one of his fellow Republicans’ requests. They are visibly angry.
Sullivan is seething with anger. Calls Tuberville’s blockade “a national security suicide mission”
Tuberville: “Madam President, I object”
Sullivan: “There goes another downgrade of our readiness.”
