I was unaware of the apparent kidney-elbowings until now. What a time to be alive.
So, let's hang an anchor from the sun... also my TumblrWaPo: Univision, the Spanish language news giant, shifts its approach to Trump
The presence of corporate executives at Mar-a-Lago raises alarm among Democrats who are used to Latino media criticism of the former president’s policies
The Democratic alarm further spiked two days later, when Univision advertising representatives told the Biden campaign that spots already purchased to run during the Trump interview in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Florida had been canceled — owing to a heretofore unannounced policy about opposition advertising in single-candidate interviews.
Oh for the fucks sake.
Inter arma enim silent legesI mean, judging from that blurb alone, the title seems a little misleading - it seems to suggest more that it's going for a more 'neutral' approach as opposed to favouring Biden, which still isn't ideal but is no different from what, say, CNN or other broadly centrist news outlets have been doing.
Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!Democrats should not save him if another vote is called, the man won’t accept that Trump lost in 2020 and is trying to impose Evangelical Christian doctrine upon the entire country.

When I think about it, it's another reason I'm skeptical their Agenda 2025 is as ironclad as its spokesgremlin paints it as, because if the House is any indication their standards for 'loyal enough' narrow extremely quickly.
Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!In return, Biden's White House would lift restrictions on China's forensic police institute. China had long questioned why the US would expect cooperation in the battle against fentanyl when the US government had placed restrictions on the institute.
Two thirds of 110,000 overdose deaths from synthetic drugs in the US last year were linked to fentanyl.

They might, but I fail to see how that’s the Democrats problem?
Any Speaker the Republican caucus can agree on will be someone who awful Democrats can’t work with them on anything other than C Rs.
The House is probably going to limp through to November with CR after CR, if it wants to do that with speaker changes each time because the Republicans want to be public about being incapable that plays in Democrats favour.
The Republican caucus might even get toxic enough that Republican Congressmen start quitting and Democrats gain the majority.

“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranIt is fairly worse than that. Televisa Univision is the biggest Spanish speaking news conglomerate and it is cozing up to Trump after its CE Os met at Mar-a-Largo and through Jared.
Not only it was a fairly more even news platform but the fusion with Televisa brought changes to the Univision that made it give more favorable airtime to Trump, ignore his immigration policies, his border wall rhetoric and shift the poor treatment of immigrant families as being the fault of Obama.
Inter arma enim silent legesThis is one of those funding bills the CR passed yesterday was supposed to give them more time to put together. It wasn't even noon over in DC when the vote failed and Johnson sent everyone home.

Better than the republicans’, since I’m not behaving like an elementary schooler.
