This is a bed with *a WATERFALL* coming out of the base. And this is #FridayNightZillow! <$8M. An amazing space in an amazing city — New York City. 5BR, 5BA, ~6500 sf. Originally "a dental factory." Enjoy! zillow.com/homedetails/22…
A "drawbridge" connects too spaces in this insane loft-style building. #FridayNightZillow
The bed drains into the living room below. Don't ask me why. Some weird artist/architect thing going on here. Perfect for #FridayNightZillow
On the other side of the bed is your en suite/open concept shower. #FridayNightZillow
Nice work area for artist-ing, living area for hanging out with your eclectic NYC friends. What are the odds Anna Wintour has been in this place? #FridayNightZillow
Nice skylights? Not sure what that thing is handing down from the ceiling. Maybe a place for the dog to sleep? #FridayNightZillow
EPIC Victorian mansion from "Stranger Things" is for sale in Rome, Georgia. $1.5M. Nicely renovated. 7BR/7BA/6K sf. The "Creel House" was built in 1882. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/90…?
Really well done renovation. I like the eat-in kitchen. #FridayNightZillow. But would be worried about the heebie-jeebies factor.
I think people haven’t fully processed what 5% interest rates will mean for the $31 trillion debt. It’s a simple math equation but it’s sort of like adding a second Defense Department worth of expenses to the budget except you get nothing in return.
When the new CBO scores come out next year I suspect you’ll see eye-popping headlines, but you can do the math for yourself right now.
The Bondholders don’t care how we got the debt (we cut taxes for 20 years while spending more). They just want to get paid.
The most legendary congressional Ten Commandments moment came in 2006 when Rep. Lynn Westmoreland could not name all of the Ten Commandments in an interview with Stephen Colbert after cosponsoring a bill to display them in Congress. cc.com/video/zk7gig/t…
The Ten Commandments segment was so devastating staffers were still haunted by it and complaining to Politico four years later. politico.com/story/2010/09/…
The Ten Commandments was a hotbed of legislative effort in previous decades but not so much in recent years. congress.gov/search?q=%7B%2…
! JOE MANCHIN: "WE CANNOT LIVE WITH THIS CRIPPLING DEBT"
Wants bipartisan deal to shore up finances of *Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid* etc. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Manchin's comment came amid a push by Bernie Sanders to raise the debt limit in the lame duck to block GOP leverage for cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid next year, and a vow by Biden not to bow to GOP push for Social Security/Medicare cuts.
Mark Warner also recently told me he'd like to see a bipartisan grand budget on spending and revenue, but said nothing was happening on that front yet.
Sanders chairs the Budget Committee, which has jurisdiction over the budget reconciliation process that can bypass a GOP filibuster for the debt limit. Takes about 2 weeks, and every Dem needs to be on board.
Schumer has yet to say what his strategy will be. One possibility would be to appeal to McConnell again — he has said the country should never default — and try to attach provisions to the bill needed to fund the government in December.
Republicans including Mitch McConnell have railed against Democratic "dark money" groups, but McConnell argues requiring the disclosure of names will empower the "mob" to harass donors.
Mitt Romney told me one reason he opposes disclosure is it would put Republicans at a disadvantage; but Biden-aligned groups actually had more dark money on his behalf than Trump. (Romney's 2012 campaign had benefited extensively from dark money spending.)
