After the2026 Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which was headlined byBad Bunnyon Sunday, Feb. 8, the "Oklahoma Smokeshow" singer shared a since-deleted photo on his Instagram Stories mocking the "All Summer Long" singer.

"What kid rock actually thinks is happening across America," Bryan, 29, wrote over a photo of someone watching Kid Rock's show on their phone while blocking Bad Bunny's performance with their hand, according to ascreenshot shared by a user on X.

In a since-deleted follow-up post, Bryan shared a DM from a social media user that accused him of turning "into a Hollywood sell out bitch quick."

"You were my favorite artist. Now you are nothing but another dumba-- out of touch elitist," the message read, according to ascreenshot shared on Instagram.

"I'm jumping around the stage like a rabid monkey, rapping my song, and I'm taking breaths, and my DJ is filling in the other parts of it… I even told them when I saw the rough cut, I was like, 'You guys got to work on that sync. It's off,'" the musician said.

"It was just a syncing issue that they had, and I know they tried to get it right. It was very difficult," he added.

In addition to Bryan, fellow country singerKacey Musgravesshowed some love for Bad Bunny on social media — and wasn't afraid to shade Kid Rock in the process.

"Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done," Musgraves, 37,wrote on Xafter the performance.

Jon Stewart pans Turning Point's 'pathetic' halftime show

The late-night reviews are in forTurning Point USA's alternative halftime show.

USA TODAY

Jimmy KimmelandJon Stewartboth had a field day on their Feb. 9 shows mocking the conservative organization'sAll-American Halftime Show, which was streamed on YouTube during the Super Bowl to compete with the official versionheadlined by Bad Bunny. The show was meant to appeal to Super Bowl viewers who were unhappy that Bad Bunny was performing in Spanish on the main broadcast, and it was initially set to also stream on X before running into licensing restriction issues there.

On "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," Kimmel described the All-American Halftime Show as a "disaster" that was put together for "angry, 75-year-old grandpas" because "all the snowflakes were so upset they might have to listen to Spanish for eight minutes."

Kimmel also mocked Kid Rock's performance as a "lip-sync battle with himself," observing, "Kid's lips were not exactly in step with Kid's music." The musicianhas acknowledged there wasa "syncing issue" with his performance.

Turning Point Halftime Showset to go head to head with Bad Bunny

"This is what they do: They complain about how bad everything is, and then they do it worse," Kimmel said after playing a clip of Kid Rock performing. He went on to add, "Almost all of the complaints about Bad Bunny were, 'You can't understand what he's saying.' So who do they go to? Kid Rock, an artist whose most popular song is literally gibberish. You think Donald Trump knows what 'Bawitdaba' means?"

At the same time, Kimmel bemoaned the fact that "we have to take a side" between Kid Rock and Bad Bunny, joking that some of his liberal friends may be exaggerating their love for the latter. "This week, almost every liberal I know, suddenly really into Bad Bunny," he said. "People I've never heard say the words 'bad' or 'bunny' in their lives," he quipped.

<p style=Comedian Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", will resume production after it was pulled off the air Sept. 17, following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing. Kimmel, a frequent critic of Donald Trump, often earned the ire of the president.

After the interview received backlash, Fallon said he regretted parts of the interview. In response, Trump took to social media to criticize the "Tonight Show" host, writing: "@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous 'hair show' with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have 'humanized' me-he is taking heat. He called & said 'monster ratings.' Be a man Jimmy!"

In 2013, Trump tweeted, "I promise you that I'm much smarter than Jonathan Leibowitz - I mean Jon Stewart @TheDailyShow. Who, by the way, is totally overrated." Stewart is a sharp critic of Trump, often taking aim at the political movement he has created.

I got stuck watching Marble Mouth Meyers the other night, the first time in months, and every time I watch this moron I feel an obligation to say how dumb and untalented he is, merely a slot filler for the Scum that runs Comcast."

Stewart later said it's "pathetic" the way "these people, who control every branch of government, are so triggered by someone singing in Spanish for 20 minutes, they need to create their own safe space alternative halftime show." He pointed to this as an example of how those on the right are behaving like they used to accuse liberals of acting.

"Remember 2017? Remember what you hated about liberals?" he asked. "'Perpetually offended, safe spaces, censoring free speech, culture of victimhood.' Remind you of anyone? 'I can't go 15 minutes without listening to country music. I need a separate show!'"

Government unseals affidavit filed in support of Fulton County election raid

Federal authorities unsealed Tuesday the affidavit they filed in support of their search of a Fulton County, Georgia,election officelast month, following an order by a federal judge.

ABC News

FBI agents on Jan. 28 seized 700 boxes containing ballots and other materials associated with the 2020 election from the county's  Elections Hub and Operations Center after obtaining a search warrant. President Donald Trump has repeatedly made baseless claims that there wasvoter fraudin the 2020 election, specifically in Georgia, that contributed to his election loss.

U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee, a Trump nominee, on Sunday ordered the government to unseal the affidavit that was filed in support of the search warrant, subject to "the redaction of the names of non-governmental witnesses."

Fulton County files motion seeking return of seized 2020 ballots, spokesperson says

In his ruling, Boulee noted that the government did not oppose the unsealing of the affidavit, which could provide more information on the search and the investigation that lead to it.

The ruling came after Fulton County Chairman Robb Pittsfiled a motionseeking the unsealing of the affidavit, as well as the return of the election documents that were seized.

Pitt's office said Tuesday it was reviewing the affidavit and that he would hold a news conference in the afternoon.

Pitts had earlier said in a statement he was "pleased" with the judge's ruling.

"Fulton County will continue to pursue every legal option to seek the return of election records and to defend our elections from possible takeover," Pitts said. "Even in the midst of this unprecedented legal action, we will not allow our staff to be deterred or distracted from preparations for the 2026 election, which will be once again free, fair, transparent and legally compliant."

While the judge on Sunday ordered the release of the affidavit that was the basis for the search warrant, the warrant itselfauthorized the FBIto search for "All physical ballots from the 2020 General Election" in addition to tabulator tapes from voting machines and 2020 voter rolls, according to a copy of the warrant that was obtained by ABC Atlanta affiliate WSB following the raid.

WSB - PHOTO: The FBI confirmed there is court authorized activity at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, Jan. 28, 2026.

The warrant said the material "constitutes evidence of the commission of a criminal offense."

The warrant listed possible violations of two statutes -- one which requires election records to be retained for a certain amount of time, and another which outlines criminal penalties for people, including election officials, who intimidate voters or to knowingly procure false votes or false voter registrations.

Violence breaks out at anti-government protest in Albanian capital

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Riot police fired tear gas and water cannon at protesters throwing Molotov cocktails and flares during a demonstration Tuesday night in central Tirana by thousands of opposition supporters demanding the resignation of Albania's government.

APTOPIX Albania Protest

Prime Minister Edi Rama's government has come under fire over corruption allegations involving Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, but Rama has resisted calls to dismiss her. There have been growing demands that lawmakers lift Balluku's immunity from prosecution, which can only be done in a parliamentary vote.

Anti-corruption prosecutors have accused Balluku, who is also minister for energy and infrastructure, of interfering in public procurement for construction projects to favor certain companies, and has called for her immunity to be lifted.

Tuesday night's protest in the Albanian capital was attended by thousands of people. It was the third such demonstration in recent months demanding Rama's resignation. More than 1,300 police officers had been deployed to ensure security. Previous protests also turned violent, with demonstrators throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks at police and a government building, and with authorities responding with tear gas and water cannons.

Opposition Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha, a former prime minister who has also faced corruption charges himself, described the protest as a "peaceful uprising" at a critical moment for Albania. Speaking at the protest, he accused Rama of "declaring war on the justice system."

Political analyst Mentor Kikia said it was unlikely that any major change would result from the protests. "Citizens are distrustful, having consistently voted for the lesser evil to remove the greater evil from power," he said.

"The current perception is that if Rama leaves, Berisha will return. One left power because of corruption, the other must also leave power because of corruption," Kikia said.

Albania hopes to join the European Union, and is under close monitoring by the bloc as part of its accession process, which it hopes to complete by 2027.

However, international watchdogs say the country continues to suffer from widespread corruption.

In today's newsletter:Democrats draw a hard line on funding as they seek to rein in ICE. The FBI says there's no ongoing communication between Nancy Guthrie's family and her suspected abductor. And Lindsey Vonn on the crash that ended her Olympics.

Here's what to know today.

Backlash to Trump emboldens Democrats on DHS and ICE

Americans are souring on the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, complicating an already messy dynamic on Capitol Hill as Democrats are more emboldened to draw a hard line against another short-term funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security.

Days before funding runs out on Friday, key members of the Senate Democratic Caucus say they won't support another continuing resolution to prevent a DHS shutdown. This includes members who voted with Republicans to reopen the government last fall. "What ICE is doing is unconscionable, and it's got to be reined in. I can't, in good conscience, vote for it," said Sen. Angus King, a Maine independent who caucuses with Democrats.

King said the situation is different now because most of the government is already funded. "So if DHS isn't funded, you're talking about ICE and TSA and the Coast Guard and FEMA" being shut down, he said. "It's not the same as it was in the fall, where you were talking about food stamps, support for research and development, medical care, all of those things."

AQuinnipiac University poll, conducted from Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, found 38% of registered voters approve of President Donald Trump's handling of immigration issues, compared with 59% who disapprove. In addition, 63% said they disapprove of ICE.

  • Vice President JD Vance landed in Armenia — a country that no sitting U.S. vice president or president has visited before — as the Trump administration offered economic opportunities while it works to advance a U.S.-brokered deal aimed at ending a decades-long conflict with Azerbaijan.

After Trumpcriticized Olympic snowboarder Hunter Hessfor expressing mixed feelings about representing the U.S. during a period of immigration crackdown, snowboarder Chloe Kimexpressed support for her teammatewhen asked about the incident.

"We are allowed to voice our opinions on what's going on, and I think that we need to lead with love and compassion, and I would love to see some more of that," she said.

Staff Pick: Meet the youngest member of Team USA at the Milan Cortina Olympics

How were you spending the winter you turned 15? Chances are, notcompeting at the Olympics like Abby Winterbergerof Truckee, California.

The freestyle skier is the youngest member of Team USA at the Milan Cortina Olympics, and the second youngest American to ever qualify in her event. I wanted to meet her because making it this far not only constitutes a sports story, but also one of dedication and sacrifice — Winterberger doesn't go to high school with her friends because she travels nearly year-round, for instance.

Winterberger was so low-key during our interview that I marked how unaffected she seemed. That's just because it has not fully hit her yet she was an Olympian, she said, calling the experience "definitely really cool."
