Today at work I had to break down Bad Bunny’s lyrics at the Super Bowl and I’d like to thank Reps. Fine, Ogles and Alford for affording me this opportunity.

Update. (Note we don’t have yet Nielsen ratings for how many people watched it live on Peacock/NBC), nor does this include views on the video Apple posted on its Apple Music app.)

Un Superbowl Halftime Show anticolonialiste qui s'ouvre sur une image plongeant directement dans la mémoire de l'esclavage à Porto Rico : c'est ce que Bad Bunny a donné au monde dimanche soir. 1/15

For the Gringos.

It wasn’t “God bless America! Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay...”

It was “God bless America: [COLON] Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay...”

This is comical. Most of the world listens to songs in English without understanding them. There’s nothing revolutionary about it.
Bad Bunny performs almost exclusively in Spanish. @skornhaber.bsky.social on why that hasn’t stopped him from dominating pop in the U.S. and abroad:

The Super Bowl headliner doesn’t care if you understand his lyrics.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

The halftime show will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star makes an explicit message about Trump’s deportation drive.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

A noteworthy takeaway from tonight's Texas result is that the Republicans spent a metric truckload of money on this race. They spent millions more than the Democrats. The loss itself aside, this is a gigantic, flashing warning sign for the GOP's finances.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

(The word “however” has never been less useful than here.)
Column by Monica Hesse: First lady Melania Trump has an impenetrable quality that makes it impossible to gauge what she’s actually thinking.

Her new documentary, “Melania,” promised to answer our questions. However, it did not.
Column | ‘Melania’ promises to take us behind the scenes. There’s nothing to see.
“Melania,” the new Amazon documentary about the enigmatic first lady Melania Trump, mostly celebrates her zealous dedication to her external presentation.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Training is not enough. Body-worn cameras aren’t enough. A real probability of being held accountable can’t be optional. It’s the only way to change behavior.

❗️Putin is forced to continue the war to avoid defeat — Finnish President Alexander Stubb

“People say that Russia wants to continue the war because it wants more territory — that’s nonsense. Russia has to keep waging this war because this war is too big for Putin to afford to lose.”

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved.

She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused.

So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.
