In a Truth Social post, Trump described the show as a "slap in the face" to the United States and criticized the fact that "nobody understands a word this guy is saying."

In an NBC interview, Trump said crime in Minneapolis is down as much as 30% because of tougher enforcement. | Check out all the latest developments and more below! | | | | | 🚔 Trump Defends Minneapolis Federal Enforcement
Trump defended federal law enforcement efforts in Minneapolis, saying crime has fallen sharply after what he described as the removal of "thousands of criminals" from the city. In an NBC interview, Trump said crime in Minneapolis is down 25 to 30 percent, attributing the decline to tougher enforcement. Operation Metro Surge sent thousands of immigration agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul, leading to thousands of arrests while sparking resident resistance and public outrage. Trump pointed to other cities where he said his administration delivered dramatic results, claiming New Orleans saw crime down 71 percent and Memphis crime down 80 percent after five weeks. Trump told NBC he made the decision to pull hundreds of federal law enforcement agents from Minneapolis following fatal shootings of two city residents, saying the Department of Homeland Security could "use a little bit of a softer touch." | 🎣 Trump Reopens Atlantic Fishing Waters
Trump issued a presidential proclamation reopening nearly 5,000 square miles of protected Atlantic Ocean waters off New England to commercial fishing, saying the move would reestablish fishing access and reduce burdensome restrictions on fishermen. The proclamation reestablished fishing in the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument off the New England coast, a preserve east of Cape Cod created by former President Barack Obama. Trump rolled back protections in the area during his first term, and President Joe Biden later restored them. Trump said Democrats imposed excessive and unnecessary regulations on fishermen for years, writing that he reversed prohibitions in his first term but Biden "foolishly reinstated them." Commercial fishing groups welcomed the move, with New Bedford-based Atlantic Red Crab Company president John Williams saying fishermen deserve to be rewarded rather than penalized. | 💰 Trump Readies Retirement Investment Rule
Trump issued an Executive Order to open private market investments to American retirement savers, directing the Department of Labor to make it easier for working Americans to have more choices with their retirement savings. The DOL is preparing formal rules stating that employers can safely offer private market options in 401(k) plans without fear of punitive lawsuits from trial lawyers. Trump said the administration will relieve regulatory burdens and litigation risk that impede American workers' retirement accounts from achieving competitive returns and asset diversification necessary to secure a dignified, comfortable retirement. Wall Street insiders, wealthy elites, and big public pension funds have built wealth via private markets including private equity, private credit, and real estate, while hardworking Americans saving through 401(k)s have been effectively shut out. A recent national poll found that 65 percent of American voters strongly support the inclusion of private-market options in 401(k) retirement plans. | 🛡️ Trump Overhauls Arms Sales Policy
Trump signed an executive order requiring the government to assess foreign weapons sales based on their impact on U.S. production capacity for key systems and to favor allies whose defense investments and strategic importance align with U.S. national security priorities. The Departments of War, State and Commerce are instructed to ensure that U.S. arms transfers support weapons systems deemed most operationally relevant to the National Security Strategy. The administration argues that past arms transfer policy allowed foreign demand to shape U.S. production decisions, contributing to backlogs, cost overruns and delivery delays that left both the U.S. military and its allies waiting years for critical equipment. The order creates a new Promoting American Military Sales Task Force charged with overseeing implementation of the strategy and tracking major defense sales across the government, with agencies required to publish aggregate quarterly performance metrics. The order directs federal agencies to identify ways to streamline enhanced end-use monitoring requirements, third-party transfer approvals and the congressional notification process to speed up a foreign military sales process that defense officials and industry leaders have long criticized as slow and overly bureaucratic. |

| | | | | | 🔔Trump Slams Super Bowl Halftime Show 🔔 | Trump criticized the NFL's Super Bowl LX halftime show featuring Latin trap artist Bad Bunny, labeling it "absolutely terrible" and "one of the worst, EVER" in a post on Truth Social. Trump described the halftime show as a "slap in the face" to the United States and took aim at Bad Bunny performing in Spanish, stating that "nobody understands a word this guy is saying." Trump wrote that the show "makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence." Trump called the dancing "disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World." Trump declared there is "nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show" and predicted it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media because "they haven't got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD." | The show became the subject of immense criticism from Americans, with prominent conservative influencers joining Trump's harsh assessment. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice Harmeet Dhillon chimed in among the show's critics. One of the biggest criticisms centered on the fact that the performance was almost entirely in Spanish. Sports entrepreneur Clay Travis questioned whether "any other country in the world" would have "their signature cultural event in a foreign language." | The show concluded with a message on the Levi Stadium video board that read "The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate is Love," which critics interpreted as a political message. Bad Bunny wore a mock football jersey that read "Ocasio 64," with Ocasio being his last name and some suggesting the number referred to the death toll from Hurricane Maria that the Puerto Rican government first claimed before later revising it to nearly 3,000. The show was expected to be the first Super Bowl halftime show sung entirely in Spanish, though pop artist Lady Gaga appeared to sing the Bruno Mars song "Die With a Smile." | Turning Point USA's "All-American Halftime Show" featuring Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Gabby Barrett, and Brantley Gilbert drew significant viewership as an alternative to the NFL's official show. TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet noted that the All-American Halftime Show "got up to 6.1 million" on TPUSA's YouTube channel, with another nearly 1 million on other YouTube channels. Many fans opted to skip the NFL's halftime show to watch the TPUSA event, including Pro Football Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and Brett Favre, and former ESPN host Sage Steele. | White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump would be watching the "All-American" halftime show rather than Bad Bunny's performance. Leavitt told reporters at Thursday's White House press briefing that "the president would much prefer a Kid Rock performance over Bad Bunny." NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended having Bad Bunny as the performer, saying he is "one of the great artists in the world" and "understood the platform he was on." | Some fans and sports stars praised the show, including former NFL star JJ Watt and New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, creating a division among viewers. Conservative radio host Megyn Kelly responded to praise of the show by writing "Nah, I like my half time shows in English from ppl who love America." Social media users tied the show to the nation's ongoing debate about illegal immigration and deportations at the hands of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. One social media user wrote that "The NFL having a Super Bowl Halftime Show where their performer sings ENTIRELY in Spanish & waves other nation's flags, is 100% a political statement." | | |  | NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas' interview aired during the network's Super Bowl pre-game, continuing a tradition of presidents doing sit downs with the host broadcaster. |
| | 🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟 | 🏛️ DHS Secretary Kristi Noem warned that a funding lapse centered on Democrat demands for ICE reforms would disrupt operations across all 23 DHS agencies, including TSA airport screening, FEMA disaster response, Coast Guard maritime operations, and Secret Service protection. Democrats issued 10 demands for ICE reforms including requiring agents not to wear masks, prohibiting enforcement at schools, and mandating judicial warrants rather than administrative warrants for arrests. DHS funding expires Feb. 13, with ICE representing about 11% of the department's total budget while the remaining 89% would face the same funding disruption. | 🗑️ Trump deleted a Truth Social post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys after Republican backlash, with Sen. Tim Scott calling it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House" and demanding its removal. Senators Roger Wicker, Pete Ricketts, and Katie Britt joined the criticism, with Ricketts stating that even if it was a Lion King meme, "a reasonable person sees the racist context" and called for an apology. A Trump advisor said the president did not see the video before it was posted, and the White House initially dismissed it as part of a video depicting Trump as the king of the jungle. | ⛷️ Trump called Olympic skier Hunter Hess "a real Loser" after Hess said at a press conference that representing the U.S. brings "mixed emotions" given current domestic events, adding "just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S." Hess' teammate Chris Lillis referenced ICE and said he felt "heartbroken about what's happening in the United States," while figure skater Amber Glenn later reported receiving "a scary amount of hate/threats" for her comments at the same press conference. Trump wrote on Truth Social that if Hess doesn't want to represent his country, "he shouldn't have tried out for the Team, and it's too bad he's on it." | 🇨🇦 Canada and France opened consulates in Greenland's capital Nuuk following Trump's push to acquire the Danish territory through tariff threats, with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand stating Canada "stands firmly in support of the people of Greenland who will determine their own future." Trump had threatened 10% tariffs increasing to 25% in June on eight European countries including France and Denmark unless they allowed U.S. acquisition of Greenland, later dropping the threat after claiming a "framework" for an Arctic security deal was reached with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. Canada had planned the consulate since 2024, while France became the first EU country to establish a consulate in Greenland, with both nations showing diplomatic support for Denmark amid the territorial tensions. | 💰 The Small Business Administration suspended 111,620 California borrowers suspected of fraud involving 118,489 Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loans totaling $8.6 billion from pandemic-era relief programs. SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler announced the suspensions after investigators found instances including a single San Diego address linked to 14 different "small businesses" that collectively received over $2 million in fraudulent loans. California Attorney General Rob Bonta disputed the characterization, noting California has recovered $2.7 billion in various fraud schemes over the past decade, while Governor Newsom's office pointed out the state has no role in administering the federal PPP and EIDL programs. | God bless,
