I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
What a moment.

A couple fascinating things I learned reporting this:

1. Much of the plant life on the field was people in costume.
2. The finale required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics.
3. That was a real couple that got married during the Lady Gaga number.

So many more details here in the piece. Go read!

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance featured a sugar cane field, a wedding, a pan-American parade and more. The show placed his beloved Puerto Rico at the center of a communal celebration. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/a...

Bad Bunny is telling the world that the people in Puerto Rico are American citizens and deserve reliable and resilient electricity and infrastructure investment from the U.S. government.

I beg you. Stop. Calling. Them. "Conservatives."
That was a real wedding during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. His reps confirmed the happy couple are irl in love. And yet, conservatives still said the show was an affront to American values.

Trump finally accepts ownership of the current economy.

In an interview with NBC, Trump says the U.S. is experiencing the Trump economy.

"I'd say we're there now," he says. "I'm very proud of it."

Trump is polling at near-historic lows because of his handling of the economy.

Two days after Trump posts a racist video, he now attacks Bad Bunny: "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying."

He adds: "There is nothing inspirational about this mess."

FYI: The billboard behind Bad Bunny read: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." #SuperBowl

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")
