Bad Bunny brought the party to the Super Bowl halftime show as he promised, performing hits from “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” a week after winning Album of the Year for it at the 2026 Grammys.

The 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar took the stage dressed in all white, donning a jersey with his last name, Ocasio, and the number 64. He made history as the first halftime show performer to sing primarily in Spanish at the most-watched sporting event in the United States.

At halftime in the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, Bad Bunny opened his performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with his 2022 hit “Tití Me Preguntó.”

Paying tribute to his homeland, the field was filled with palm trees, sugarcane and other vegetation native to Puerto Rico. Walking through the lush greens, Bad Bunny passed sugarcane farmers sporting a pava (a traditional Puerto Rican straw hat), a coconut vendor, a piragua cart and a couple of boxers as he went on to perform another hit, “Yo Perreo Sola.”

Bad Bunny also performed other songs from his latest album, including “EoO,” “NUEVAYoL,” which pays tribute to the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York City, and “DTMF.”

Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin make surprise appearances

Sunday’s halftime was packed with celebrity guest appearances, including Lady Gaga, who performed her duet “Die With a Smile” with a Latin sound.

Ricky Martin also made a surprise appearance. The Puerto Rican singer performed “LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii,” a Bad Bunny song whose lyrics call out gentrification in the island — an ongoing trend fueled by tax incentives that have led to wealthy mainland Americans buying up land and homes, drawing a comparison to gentrification in Hawaii.

Other celebrity cameos included Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, Cardi B and Karol G.

Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most-streamed artists on the planet. During the performance, he gave a shout-out to the countries across the Americas.

Towards the end of the show, the singer climbed an electrical pole, a reference to not only the power of Puerto Rico and its people but to power supply issues the island has struggled with. Many of his song lyrics criticize the ineffective response by the government in Puerto Rico to crises like the hurricanes that have pummeled the island and caused island-wide blackouts in recent years.

As he exited at the end of the show, trailed by U.S. and Puerto Rican flags, the message on a giant screen across the field read: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

President Trump reacts to Super Bowl halftime show

Following the star-studded performance, President Trump took to social media to criticize the halftime show.

“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.”

Mr. Trump attended last year’s Super Bowl in New Orleans but he didn’t make an appearance this year. In an interview with The New York Post last month, he said the game was “just too far away.” The president also criticized the entertainment chosen by the NFL, which also included Green Day, a vocal critic of Mr. Trump and his administration.

“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Mr. Trump told The Post.

Bad Bunny has also spoken out against the Trump administration. Last week at the Grammy Awards, the artist used one of his acceptance speeches to denounce U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying “ICE out.”

“We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans,” he said as he accepted the Grammy for his album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” in the música urbana album category.

Aiming to bring “a lot of my culture”

At a press event last week hosted by halftime show sponsor Apple Music, Bad Bunny said: “I wasn’t looking for album of the year. I wasn’t looking to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show … I was just trying to connect with my roots, connect with my people, connect with myself.”

He also promised his Super Bowl show would be “a huge party,” adding, “I want to bring to the stage, of course, a lot of my culture. … I don’t want to give any spoilers. It’s going to be fun.”

With a total of six Grammys and 17 Latin Grammys, he has become a global ambassador for Latin music. He has also been featured in Hollywood films such as “Bullet Train,” “Caught Stealing” and “Happy Gilmore 2.”

Did Bad Bunny get paid for his Super Bowl halftime performance?

---

Super Bowl halftime show performers typically get paid less than the cost of the game’s ticket.

Bad Bunny will earn union scale, a minimum fee guaranteed under labor contracts, like previous halftime artists at the Super Bowl.

Under the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists union’s most recent contract, that would come to about $1,000 a day. The NFL typically covers artists’ expenses, which can run into the millions of dollars.

伊朗诺贝尔和平奖得主穆罕默迪在结束近一周的绝食抗议后，健康状况“日益恶化”。与此同时，当局对她判处了新的监刑。

法新社报道，纳尔吉斯·穆罕默迪（Narges Mohammadi）于2023年获得诺贝尔和平奖。此前，她因在去年12月的一场葬礼上公开反对政府而被监禁两个月。

她的基金会在一份声明中说，她星期六（2月7日）被判处六年监禁，罪名是危害国家安全；此外，她还因“宣传”反对伊朗回教制度而被判处一年半的监禁。

声明称，穆罕默迪在被带到法官面前并迅速宣判后，没有进行任何辩护或发表任何声明，以此表达她的蔑视。

她身在巴黎的丈夫拉赫马尼在一份声明中说：“纳尔吉斯没有进行任何辩护，她坚信司法机构毫无合法性。她认为这些审判不过是一场早已注定的闹剧。”

她的伊朗律师尼利在德黑兰向法新社证实了判决细节，并表示她还将被流放到东部南呼罗珊省的霍斯夫市两年。

穆罕默迪于2月2日开始绝食，以抗议她的监禁条件以及无法与律师和家人通话。

基金会说：“纳尔吉斯·穆罕默迪今天结束了为期六天的绝食，但有报道称她的身体状况令人担忧。”

穆罕默迪告诉尼利，她三天前因健康状况恶化被送往医院。

基金会说：“然而，在她完成治疗前，她就被送回了位于马什哈德的伊朗情报部安全拘留中心。”

“继续拘留她危及生命，并且违反了人权法。”

在过去的25年里，现年53岁的穆罕默迪因公开反对伊朗使用死刑和对女性的强制性着装规定而多次受审和入狱。

马斯克：SpaceX计划在月球建造可自我生长城市

马斯克星期天（2月8日）说，SpaceX已将重心转移到在月球上建造一座“自我增长型城市”，他称这一目标可在不到10年的时间内实现。

路透社报道，马斯克在SpaceX的一篇博文中说：“话虽如此，SpaceX也将努力在火星上建造一座城市，并计划在五到七年内启动，但首要任务是确保人类文明的未来，而登月速度更快。”

马斯克的言论与《华尔街日报》的一篇报道相呼应。该报道称，SpaceX已告知投资者，公司将优先考虑登月，并在稍后尝试火星之旅，目标是在2027年3月进行无人登月。

他去年曾表示，他的目标是在2026年底前向火星发射无人探测器。

美国与中国正展开激烈竞争，双方都在努力将宇航员送上月球。自1972年美国最后一次阿波罗登月任务以来，就再也没有人类踏上过月球。

马斯克发表上述言论之前，SpaceX刚刚同意收购xAI。根据交易，SpaceX对该公司的估值为1万亿美元（约1万2700亿新元）。

Trump calls Olympic skier ‘real loser’ after athlete expresses ‘mixed emotions’ representing the US

Washington—

President Donald Trump called Olympic skier Hunter Hess a “real loser” on Sunday after the athlete expressed “mixed emotions representing the US right now” in the Winter Olympic Games.

“U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday morning. “If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very hard to root for someone like this.”

Hess, who hails from Bend, Oregon, said during a press availability last week that “just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US.”

“It’s a little hard; there’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren’t,” Hess said. “I think for me, it’s more I’m representing my friends and family back home, the people that represented it before me, all the things that I believe that are good about the US.”

Hess’ comments came as several freestyle skiers on Team USA fielded questions on the US political climate. Skier Chris Lillis was more direct in his comments, referencing tensions surrounding federal immigration enforcement in the wake of two fatal shootings of US citizens in Minnesota.

“A lot of times, athletes are hesitant to talk about political views and how we feel about things. I feel heartbroken about what’s happening in the United States,” Lillis said.

“I’m pretty sure you’re referencing ICE and some of the protests and things like that,” he told reporters. “I think that as a country, we need to focus on respecting everybody’s rights and making sure that we’re treating our citizens as well as anybody, with love and respect.”

Another skier, Quinn Dehlinger, said: “The political divide in the United States is very prevalent, and competition and sports is always a way to bring people together.”

A US Olympic and Paralympic Committee spokesperson said in a statement that “Our focus is on Hunter’s protection and on ensuring he has the support and resources in place to compete on the world’s largest stage.”

The committee issued a statement earlier this weekend after figure skater Amber Glenn was also asked about US politics and later said she received hate messages.

“It’s a sad reality that over the last several games, we’ve seen an uptick in abusive and harmful messages directed at athletes during competition,” a USOPC spokesperson said, adding the committee monitors public platforms and escalates threats to law enforcement as appropriate.

“The USOPC stands firmly behind Team USA athletes and remains committed to their well-being and safety, both on and off the field of play,” the statement said.

Some conservatives have weighed in on athletes’ comments, criticizing Hess before the president’s Truth Social post.

“If you can’t say you love America while competing on behalf of our nation then you shouldn’t be at the Olympics,” Katie Miller, a Trump ally and the wife of top White House aide Stephen Miller, wrote on social media Saturday.

White House chief of protocol Monica Crowley also chimed in and reposted the president, writing on X, “Represent America with pride or GTFO.”

The president’s remark, however, was met with pushback by Sen. Bernie Sanders, who called Hess a “proud American.”

“Mr. President, this is not a monarchy,” the Vermont independent wrote on X. “This is the United States and no one is required to bow down to you.”

Trump’s social media comment is only the latest example of the president criticizing those who speak out against his administration. He also voiced opposition to Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were in Milan over the weekend to watch the Olympics, and Trump is attending a Super Bowl watch party in Florida.

Vance and second lady Usha Vance were notably booed during the opening ceremony.

While Trump said it’s hard to root for Hess, Vance said in a speech last week to Team USA athletes that “The whole country, Democrat, Republican, independent, we’re all rooting for ya and we’re cheering for ya.”

For the first time in decades, the world’s two largest nuclear superpowers are no longer bound by any treaty limiting their arsenals.

The last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the U.S. and Russia, known as New START, expired Thursday.

The lapse removed limits on how many nuclear weapons Washington and Moscow could deploy on missiles, bombers and submarines, and ended the requirement that both sides notify one another whenever nuclear weapons were moved.

The scale of what’s now unconstrained is vast.

Globally, there are more than 12,200 nuclear weapons spread across nine nuclear-armed nations, according to a recent analysis. The United States and Russia alone account for roughly 10,636 of those weapons.

Ahead of the New START agreement’s expiration, President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Rather than extend ‘NEW START’ (a badly negotiated deal by the United States that, aside from everything else, is being grossly violated), we should have our Nuclear Experts work on a new, improved and modernized Treaty that can last long into the future.”

Lawmakers locked in standoff over ICE reforms as DHS funding deadline approaches

February 8, 2026 / 5:13 PM EST / CBS News

Washington — Republicans and Democrats in Congress are locked in a standoff over reforming the nation’s immigration enforcement operation as a deadline to reach a resolution and fund the Department of Homeland Security approaches.

Last week, Congress passed a package of funding measures to reopen the government and fund the bulk of agencies through September after a four-day partial shutdown. The stalemate came amid a dispute over funds for DHS, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Lawmakers ultimately approved a stopgap measure to keep the department funded — but only through Feb. 13.

The short-term funding patch was designed to give lawmakers more time to negotiate how to rein in the administration’s immigration’s enforcement operation, which came under scrutiny after two deadly shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis last month. But so far, the two sides appear far from an agreement.

Senate Democrats submitted draft legislation of the DHS funding measure to Republicans, multiple sources confirmed CBS News. The legislative language reflects Democrats’ proposals to reform ICE as outlined in a letter last week from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries .

Schumer and Jeffries released a list of demands last week to impose “guardrails” on DHS, including by restricting immigration agents from wearing masks and requiring them to display an ID and use body cameras. They also demanded agents be banned from entering private property without judicial warrants, along with requiring agents to verify that someone is not a U.S. citizen before holding them in immigration detention, among other things. Republicans were quick to criticize the demands as “unrealistic and unserious.”

Asked Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” whether there are negotiations going on about the proposed reforms, Jeffries said Democrats haven’t heard back from the White House or Republican leaders in Congress about the demands.

“In our view, the ball is in the court right now of the Republicans,” Jeffries said. “Either they’re going to agree to dramatically reform the way in which ICE and other immigration enforcement agencies are conducting themselves so that they’re behaving like every other law enforcement agency in the country, or they’re making the explicit decision to shut down the Coast Guard, shut down FEMA and shut down TSA, and that would be very unfortunate.”

If lawmakers are unable to come to an agreement on how to fund DHS or approve another short-term measure to keep the department funded, funding would lapse for the agencies it oversees on Feb. 14, and shutdown procedures would be expected to begin. But immigration operations would continue, since ICE and CBP received an influx of funds in last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Still, Jeffries said “we need to press forward aggressively and ensure that there are legislative changes enacted as part of any DHS spending bill, because that’s the way that you change behavior.”

The New York Democrat argued that “these are common sense changes,” citing the demand for body cameras, judicial warrant requirements and a no-mask policy for agents, among other things.

Republicans have appeared open to some of the proposed policies, including the mandatory body cameras and bringing an end to roving patrols. But some of the demands are red lines for the GOP.

Rep. Tony Gonzales on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan,” Feb. 8, 2026. CBS News

Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican who appeared on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” on Sunday, said “there are some things that make sense, there’s a lot of things that don’t.”

“Just a few days ago, this was a bipartisan vote, and all of a sudden, now the Democrats are trying to hold the country hostage,” Gonzales added.

Gonzales said any deal on DHS funding will not include “amnesty for illegal aliens” or “stripping away protections for law enforcement officers that are trying to protect themselves.” He said “if rioters get to wear masks, then law enforcement gets to wear masks as well.”

The Texas Republican also expressed opposition to requiring judicial warrants, which is a key point of contention between Republicans and Democrats so far. Under the 4th Amendment of the Constitution, a search on a U.S. citizen is prohibited unless there is a warrant issued by a judge. The administration has relied on administrative warrants, which are signed by immigration officials, not judges.

“Administrative warrants work,” Gonzales said. “I want to give law enforcement every tool they need to go out and apprehend these convicted criminals that are loose in our community. To me, that makes a lot of sense. Why you would want to shackle your own law enforcement from keeping our community safe makes no sense to me.”

Among the things that could see support from Republicans, Gonzales cited the mandate for body cameras, pointing to the recent move by the administration to require cameras be worn in Minneapolis. He said another area for improvement is communication.

“I think it’d be very, very key if there were communication liaisons in all the communities that ICE has,” he said. “Not changing policy, just sharing communication from the community — let’s say the city manager or let’s say city council, community leaders — up to the administration and back down.”
