All bunk beds should have slides like this. I also think we should replace one of the Senate elevators with a slide. (Would save energy and time) #FridayNightZillow
It really is a great house, as long as you can handle the shower weirdness. #FridayNightZillow
California housing is supposed to be expensive, but my sister-in-law found a 160-acre place with this spectacular room for just $375K. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/42…?
Every once in a while I ask, "what can you get for a million bucks these days." The answer: A nearly 9,000 sf stone house in wonderful York, Pa. 4BR, 8BA, 4 acres. We should move here right now. zillow.com/homedetails/23…#FridayNightZillow
I've forgotten what this contraption is. My brain is a little fried. But I think it was a thing you put in your wall that was popular-ish in the 70s? #FridayNIghtZillow
If you want a house like this in NW DC, you're probably paying $4M? More? #FridayNightZillow
Bonus points for not putting the TV over the fireplace. #FridayNightZillow
Love, love, love the exterior of this B&B. Interior is fine. Price is amazing! $499K and we're in the innkeeping business, folks! Minnesota. 6BR/8BA. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/30…
Showstopper tonight is a <$40M fantasy mansion in California. ~13K sf. Lots of eye-candy here. At this price level you get intricate ceilings, luxurious color coordination and spectacular views. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/76…?
The movie theater is spectacular. The kitchen is downright fashionable. I could live here. And I don't usually say that about houses this expensive. #FridayNIghtZillow
I am reliably informed this contraption, which looks like a torture device, is a high-end Pilates machine. #FridayNightZillow
That's it from us tonight. Hope you enjoyed #FridayNightZillow! Thank you to tipsters and special thanks to my sister-in-law for finding most of these homes tonight and to all of you for reading. Let us know which ones you liked the most and which ones you loved to hate!

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

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.
