"Look, all we are asking for is something – anything – we can describe to the president as a wall, or a part of a wall."

"How tall does it have to be?"

"Just throw us a frickin' bone, ok?"

To anyone who knows Louis CK, please deliver this message for me. My daughter was killed in the Parkland shooting. My son ran from the bullets. My wife and I deal with loss everyday. Why don't you come to my house and try out your new pathetic jokes? https://t.co/tZI9ThSciR

poor trumpies!

Um, two guys tried to assault my brother, special needs nephew and I two weeks after he got elected after they asked where we were from. We said Texas, they kept saying, “Mexico.” My story isn’t special. Where is the article for people like us? https://t.co/xThONb7Mdm

AP

This comment by an @AP editor seems to speak more to the quality/style of reporting on the Russia probe than the probe itself. Much of the reporting in this area uses episodic framing — i.e., focusing narrowly on specific individuals & events, w/o contextualizing the news. 1/
