FIRST UP on #FridayNightZillow 🧵: *INSANE* Illinois party mansion w/eye candy galore. Marble everywhere, custom chandeliers, hand-painted ceilings, granite staircase, bonkers basement, theater, kitchens, imported pizza oven, etc. $6.5M. zillow.com/homedetails/16…
If you want to hang out like the gods on Mt. Olympus, this spot is for you. #FridayNightZillow
This is *a dining room.* This house really doesn't do understated anything. #FridayNightZillow
This is the Cigar Room. Previous listing bragged it has an industrial strength smoke removal system. It also has an ancient, tiny flat-screen TV that needs to go directly into the trash. #FridayNightZillow
Bonus points for the imported Italian pizza oven. Crime against humanity for putting an ugly TV above said pizza oven. If you need a TV here, you are living life wrong. #FridayNightZillow
Party basement needs a TV upgrade. But I do like the idea of using bright colors down here so it doesn't feel like a basement. #FridayNightZillow
This sweet kitchen is also in the enormous basement. There is a second enormous kitchen on the main level. #FridayNightZillow
360-degree bar in the that enormous basement. Another painted ceiling, naturally. I sure hope those aren't TVs in the upper corners. I'm going to pretend they are air vents or something. #FridayNightZillow
This is the favorite room of the original owner of the house, though to my mind when I'm watching a movie I don't want to see anything but the movie. #FridayNightZillow
This house previously sold for $4.5M. Watch this super-fun 3 minute video from 2011 with the one of the previous owners when they put it on sale. (The Zitellas are developers) #FridayNightZillow
Up next: A "Charlevoix Mushroom House" aka the "The Thatch House." Cool, Hobbity architecture in Michigan. Owner of this Earl Young house did a lot of work, w/roof "crafted from the finest natural thatch hand-reaped in Europe." $4.5M #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/30…?
This might be a Kitchen of the Year Nominee. In a classy, $3.45M, 7K sf Garden City, NY home. You get a La Cornue stove, more ovens, multiple sinks, built-ins, etc. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/10…
You'd think after the first circle bed they would have learned their lesson, but no. Maybe they had a Buy 1, Get 1 special at Bob's House of Round Beds. #FridayNightZillow
I have issues with this bathroom. But the sinks are nice. #FridayNightZillow
This is one of the more unusual family rooms I've ever seen. Like the owner just wanted to scream FLORIDA!!! #FridayNightZillow
Time for a Michigan castle. This one has its own vineyard! Just $1.125M. Not my favorite but you could do worse at this price. zillow.com/homedetails/10…
If you've ever read #FridayNightZillow before I think you already know what I like and what I hate about this room.
One thing you learn if you look at enough Zillow houses: Humans are WEIRD! Also, this is a toilet. In a quirky $400K Tennessee house. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homes/1817-Hig…?
LA fantasy house. $6.995M. Used to be owned by Frank Lloyd, one of the founders of the Academy and the director of Mutiny on the Bounty. Super classy. Funky back yard things. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/23…?
Our #FridayNightZillow SHOWSTOPPER tonight is a modern California masterpiece. $3.888M. All the views. PERFECT TV PLACEMENT. Wonderful kitchen. Perfect bathtub. Edge pool. So much more. I could live here. zillow.com/homedetails/13…?
This TV placement brings tears of joy to my eyes. Finally some rich person finally gets it. This living room is spectacular. #FridayNightZillow
This is the view *from your living room.* It's like magic. #FridayNightZillow.
Bedroom. Somebody finally understands you shouldn't have a TV here. #FridayNightZillow
Bathtub fills from the ceiling. It has the spillover feature. The walls are pure glass. It might be the best bath setup ever? #FridayNightZillow
Yes please. My favorite color wood. Glass door cabinets so you can see that's inside. Stainless steel. Not too big, not too small. Just right. #FridayNightZillow
You will get clean in this shower. Not sure I'd want to clean it, but... #FridayNightZillow
I hope you enjoyed this edition of #FridayNightZillow. Thanks especially to my sister-in-law for finding most of these houses, to tipsters, to my wife and to you for reading.

Feature a private soccer field, several party showers, the most luxurious bar I've ever seen, and an assortment of other eye candy. So follow along and tell your friends... | Crossposting on BlueSky.

This house is 6K sf in DC, and has a party shower. #FridayNightZillow. I thought it would be priced higher. <$3M. Not sure about the curb appeal. What say you? zillow.com/homedetails/57…
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. We get 9,825 square feet of sheer madness on 36 acres in gorgeous Plymouth, Minnesota! I love it!!! INSANE sinks, WEIRD art, WILD ceilings, AMAZING kitchen, views, colors galore, a pond, a party shower and much, MUCH more. Several of you sent me this gem! 🧵 zillow.com/homedetails/51…
