Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.
But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.

Analysis | Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was expected to provoke. Did it?
The Bad Bunny Super Bowl show nodded to injustices in Puerto Rico but mostly evoked wholesome family values that meshed with the more sentimental commercials.

There was definitely a point during Super Bowl commercials last night where we were discussing it cannot be good that pharmaceutical companies now have enough money to buy Super Bowl ads
The Super Bowl is a window into how much the U.S. economy has changed. I remember when it was mostly ads for cars, beer and stuff you’d find in the grocery store. Now it’s all AI, gambling, crypto (also gambling) and Ozempic.

That we were “overreacting” to his election

There are many reasons these powerful folks hate democracy:
being held accountable by the masses for abhorrent behavior (when they feel they should and can do anything) is one of them.

I am… decidedly in my feelings that this administration got me on Rand Paul’s side 😐
Last night, GOP Senator Rand Paul went on national TV to flatly reject DHS's lies about the Pretti execution:
"My advice to [DHS], if they're watching:
If you come into [our hearing] and try to justify that [Pretti] was assaulting a police officer, that cannot be acceptable."

One of two things: he’s closing for “renovations” because artists keep cancelling and he just hopes folks forget.
Or.. closing it for actual renovations which means some golden gilded age horror show in two years
