Just like you would in a regular query.

SELECT to_char(sub_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD') as entry, adv, etc ....
UNION ALL
SELECT mps, adv, etc .....

(I generally use UNION ALL because it doesn't require the DB to test
for uniqueness and thus runs faster in cases where I expect all rows to
be unique anyway).
