DC school shooter was 23 years old; described himself as "an AR-15 aficionado" and a "basedman"; bought an arsenal of guns/ammo legally but modified rifles to become fully automatic; used a baby monitor for video surveillance; posted his exploits to 4chan and Wikipedia.
Votes in the U.S. Senate on gun policies in the wake of the Uvalde massacre could occur on June 8/9
Schumer wants to file cloture when Senate returns from recess in a week on either a bipartisan deal or a House-passed background check bill.
It takes a couple of days to set up a cloture vote unless all 100 senators agree to accelerate it.
Even then it could be cloture on *proceeding to a bill.* Absent consent of all 100, you need cloture both to proceed to a bill and then to end debate on any amendments and then on the final bill. Multiple cloture votes = days and days.
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…?

Later tonight, in hopes it is a public service after a difficult week, there will be #FridayNightZillow. Feel free to mute that term if it’s not your thing right now.
It is going to start on the later side for assorted family reasons, including watching the first episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi. So closer to 10 pm.

At least 10 members of Congress now drive Teslas, most of whom are Democrats who say they separate their cars from their views of @elonmusk or his companies.
One Republican, MIT-trained engineer @RepThomasMassie of Kentucky, pre-ordered his Model S and had to wait, and wait, and wait. He had #3,347 delivered in 2013, when Tesla was still in its infancy.
