TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

New York building supers are generally very good about clearing the snow and ice from their sidewalks. It’s the law and no one wants a slip and fall lawsuit. One glaring exception I noticed - this sidewalk in front of the Trump Palace. The store it abuts is Whole Foods. 24 hours after the blizzard.

You are so right. This happens with most of the stories I write. Those snarky, “well duh” comments. Hate ‘em! As you say, someone has to actually do the work!

It’s great (derogatory) that you can work very hard to find out something incredibly important, and the main response you will get is a derisive “Gee, I’m shocked.”

Somebody has to ACTUALLY DO THIS WORK! You can’t pursue justice by going “Your honor: I mean, duh.”
