Japan's Ruling Party Wins; Figure Skater Makes History

Japan's ruling party, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, secured a supermajority in the country's lower house in a landslide victory on Sunday, February 8, 2026, according to NPR. This win, the biggest in the party's seven-decade history, was largely attributed to Takaichi's popularity.

The Prime Minister, also the president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), is expected to pursue a conservative agenda following the election. According to NPR, Takaichi gambled on her popularity to revive her party, and her bet paid off.

In other news, U.S. figure skater Ilia Malinin made history at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics by performing a backflip in his programs, according to NPR News. Malinin's performance, which he landed on a single blade, helped push Team USA to the top of the podium.

Meanwhile, Dan Bongino is set to return to Fox News as a contributor, the network confirmed on Monday, February 9, 2026, according to Variety. Bongino, who previously hosted a weekend show on the channel, is scheduled to appear on Hannity to discuss the case of Nancy Guthrie.

Also, the Advanced Imaging Society Lumiere Awards recognized outstanding creative and technical achievements, with "Sinners," "Zootopia 2," and "KPop Demon Hunters" taking top honors, Variety reported. The awards celebrated their 16th annual event.
