The high wouldn’t last. Seahawks safety Julian Love soon intercepted a throw from New England quarterback Drake Maye, and the Patriots never recovered. In the end, Kane lost a bit less than $100,000 in bets that favored the Patriots. “What are you gonna do about it? You get very numb to these kinds of numbers,” said Kane, who works out of his one-bedroom apartment in Philadelphia.

In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint

"plus Kid Rock concert shirt"

A Craigslist ad offering $200 and a Kid Rock T-Shirt to show up for the alternate Super Bowl halftime show and act like an enthusiastic audience member.

Plus there's this, posted on Gavin Newsom's official government account.

Looks like they may have paid the live audience, too.

Shocked to learn that TPUSA paid bots to increase the size of the "views" for Klanchella. Fascists are always on the up and up.

Frasier would be in the Epstein files

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.

Except in the United States.

Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.

We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

Kid Rock lyrics about underage girls draw questions ahead Turning Point USA alternative Super Bowl halftime show “I like ’em underage, see some say that’s statutory (but I say that’s mandatory),” Kid Rock sings on the 2001 song, which was also for a children’s movie.

Congressional review of the unredacted Epstein files contradicts Trump’s statements. Who’s shocked?

The fact that her reaction is almost certainly opportunistic makes this more, not less, significant.

Libertarians are ridiculous people, part infinity.

In fairness, we know this about them because they tell us each election, which is good!

But of course REASON does an “aaaaactually none of them are worth my vote” article each election precisely so that, two years later, they can do yet another “see, I told you they were bad!” article.

Incredible arrogance, the ultimate expression of privilege, not voting is in effect an *action* that benefited Trump.

"What past vote do you most regret? Because of my long streak of not voting, I'm unburdened by what has been."

How are Reason staffers voting in 2024? Who we vote for is a highly imperfect measure of our biases, but it's one we're happy to share every election cycle in the spirit of transparency.

They tried to warn us about Trump? Gosh, then I bet they all voted for Harris in 2024, right? right?

Huh. Well whadya know. Three out of 25 voted for Harris. Mangu-Ward didn’t vote at all.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Why did so many people miss what Trump was really planning to do on immigration? The people who voted for him but are upset about how it’s playing out.

We had Project 2025. And this, from his own lips, is when everyone should have known…

“They’re poisoning the blood of our country.”

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.

It was a "sideshow," I was told.

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

We're Racially Divided So Republican Voters Will Remain Distracted (new post) nomoremister.blogspot.com/2026/02/were...

From the Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance to the intense blowback over his racist mockery of the Obamas, Trumpism’s cultural power is rapidly shrinking.

"He’s pathetic as a president. And I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man." trib.al/49LWNXh

‘Together, We Are America’ Bad Bunny’s critics said his Super Bowl halftime show would be divisive. They were totally wrong.

This is a great piece by my colleague spencer on the bad bunny helftimeshow but of course there’s never been a more divisive idea in American history than all of us being American, we fought a civil war over it and Trump is nothing if not manifest opposition to it www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Going to be checking those primary filing deadlines if a representative suddenly starts mysteriously distancing themselves from the White House.

Good fucking morning to everybody except Kid Rock, who had to pre-tape a lip-synced performance for TPUSA’s ridiculous halftime show. That guy couldn’t be more irrelevant or talentless if he tried. No wonder he went full MAGA grifter.

Yes.

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement

CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?

STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors

CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

Hating the Game The cooperation game, the murder game, and acting in good faith with people you know are acting in bad faith.

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

Illegal aliens and Latin hookers twerking at the SuperBowl. Not a single white person or English translation at the Super Bowl. This isn’t White enough for me. Cant even watch a Super Bowl anymore because immigrants have literally ruined everything.

Italians, your white card has been revoked. Stefani Germanotta is a perfidious latin

Weird. I tried to warn libertarians about Trump
