President Donald Trump criticized Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime show, calling it "absolutely terrible" and a "slap in the face to our country," according to ABC News. The show, which featured Puerto Rican culture, drew a strong reaction from the former president, who made the comments on social media on Sunday, February 8, 2026. At the same time, conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA hosted a counterprogrammed halftime show headlined by Kid Rock, as reported by ABC News.
Trump's criticism of the halftime show included the statement that it "makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our country," according to ABC News. The counterprogrammed show by Turning Point USA, dubbed "The All-American Halftime Show," featured performances by Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. The group announced plans for the counterprogrammed show in October, according to ABC News.
In other news, internal Department of Homeland Security documents obtained by CBS News revealed that less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses. The document, which had not been previously reported publicly, provided a detailed look into who ICE had arrested during the Trump administration's deportation operations. These figures undermined the Trump administration's assertions that its crackdown on illegal immigration primarily targeted dangerous and violent criminals, according to CBS News.
Meanwhile, Second Lady Usha Vance's announcement of her fourth child was described as "delightful and refreshing news" by Fox News. The news outlet noted that having four children in the U.S. is not the norm these days, and that across the U.S., women are having fewer children, or none at all. The decision to have children affects the nation, as without enough births to maintain its population, a country struggles to sustain its economy, communities, and culture, according to Fox News.
Additionally, Fox News reported on remarks from Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, which suggested that English language standards for commercial drivers should be weakened. The author, who has spent decades training professional truck drivers, stated that highway safety is taken very seriously.
