Kicking off another EPIC #FridayNightZillow is "Goth Castle" in Hudson, Wisconsin.
7BR, 4BA, 5,600 sf, just $1.1M.
Rents for ~$1,700 a night. Sleeps 20! zillow.com/homedetails/10…?
Sure, it's kitschy. But you get a sweet decktop pool, hot tub, themed bedrooms, etc. Seems like it would be a fun place to spend Halloween with your crew. #FridayNightZillow
Points for ingenuity, but this does kind of creep me out: A Mermaid skeleton over the tub #FridayNightZillow
Uh-Oh. News story about how the city was cracking down on this house for not being a licensed rental and for the pool not qualifying as commercial. Bonus views of the "Pink Castle" in same town. This quick vid is worth pressing play: #FridayNightZillow
All's well that ends well: Listing says it's a licensed rental now. Here's website where you can rent the Pink Castle or the Goth Castle: #FridayNightZillowpinkcastlewisconsin.com/faq
Up next, a $7M estate with what might be the largest party shower we've ever seen on Zillow, some cool kitchens, etc. It's in Atlanta. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/38…?
An amazing *second kitchen.* But if it's confirmed that's a TV inside the range hood I'm worried I'll have an aneurysm. #FridayNightZillow
Rich people ceilings aren't like regular ceilings. Otherwise people would just walk in, look up, and say, "you paid $7 million and all you got was a matte white ceiling?" #FridayNightZillow

"Snowdoun" in Columbus, Miss., was built in 1854 for James Whitfield, who had served as the state's governor. Jefferson Davis stayed here. $700K for 6BR, 12BA. What's the best future for places like this? #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/90…
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.

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.
