Acabo de confirmar lo que me resistÍa a creer: Willie Colón efectivamente ha fallecido.
A su esposa Julia, a sus hijos, familia y seres queridos envío mi sentido pésame.
Más adelante y con calma escribiré sobre Willie y su vital e importante legado musical.

Publicly, the Washington Post staff has “addressed Jeff Bezos, not Will Lewis. Why?” — @chucktodd
“Because it seems like he has the power to change it. It’s not my money, [Bezos] is where he is for a reason, but he’s got money and it’s like, if the money is the problem, why now? Why on this scale?
“Why frankly, have you been paying people to run the paper who’ve made that problem worse?” — @washingtonpost ‘s @chelsea_janes

Zúniga:

Latin America countries are saying, "well, okay, that's what the United States has decided to do. They've decided to kind of pull back from the world. It's fine. …

“And in fact, they're just saying, fine, then we will find other partners too.”

WATCH: Former President Trump says he needed ’22,000 votes’ in each state to win in 2020, but falsely claims he still won

KRISTEN WELKER:
When you say you needed one-tenth of a point, you needed one-tenth of a point to win?

FMR. PRES. DONALD TRUMP:
I needed a very small — I think somebody said 22,000 votes.

KRISTEN WELKER:
To win?

FMR. PRES. DONALD TRUMP:
Yeah. If you divide it among the states, it was 22,000 votes, something to that effect —

KRISTEN WELKER:
To — to win the election?

FMR. PRES. DONALD TRUMP:
Yeah. If I would’ve had another 22,000 votes over the whole — but, look. They rigged the election — If you look at Pennsylvania —

KRISTEN WELKER:
But Mr. President, you’re saying you needed more votes to win the election, are you acknowledging you didn’t win?

FMR. PRES. DONALD TRUMP:
Excuse me. If you look at all of the statistics, all of the votes, they say 22,000 votes. Over millions and millions of votes, 22,000 votes. ...

KRISTEN WELKER:
I — I just want to be clear, though. Are you saying you needed those votes in order to win? Are you acknowledging you didn’t win?

FMR. PRES. DONALD TRUMP:
I’m not acknowledging. No. I say I won the election.
